All partners, stakeholders and the public are invited to attend to learn more about the USACE Regulatory Program.
The Louisville District’s Regulatory Division is responsible for administering the Regulatory Program in the majority of Indiana and Kentucky, the southeastern portion of Illinois, and the Ohio River to southwestern Ohio.
“This is an opportunity for people to learn more about what we do,” said Louisville District Commander, Col. Reyn Mann. “We are excited to have this open dialogue with our stakeholders and any others interested in learning more about our regulatory processes, such as when a permit may be required, what sort of documents may be needed for submittal, what timelines look like for permitting decisions, and even how we coordinate with other agencies to reach decisions.”
During the session, USACE will provide an overview and update of the USACE Regulatory Program, processes and resources available. Following the short presentation, Louisville District staff will be in attendance to help answer any questions and to speak with stakeholders about any concerns or issues they may have.
