A DA Permit. if otherwise warranted, will not be issued until a Water Quality Certification or waiver is on file at the Louisville District office. The applicant is responsible for obtaining the certification from the Indiana Department of environmental Management. The National Register of Historic Places has been consulted and it has been determined that there are no properties currently listed in the Register which would be direct!} affected by the proposed "Work If the Corps is made aware, as a result of comments received in response to this notice, or by other means, of specific archeological, scientific, prehistorical. or historical sites or structures which might be affected by the proposed work, the District Engineer will immediately take the appropriate action necessary pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Copies of this notice are sent to

the appropriate federal and state fish and wildlife services. Their views and comments are solicited in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1956 and the Endangered Species Act of 1873, as amended. However, there are no known facts that indicate the proposed work would destroy or endanger any known critical habitat of a threatened or endangered species listed or proposed. Therefore, unless warranted by later developments, no formal consultation specific to Section 7 of the 1973 Act, as amended, will be initiated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Any person may request, in writing, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. A request for a public hearing must state the specific interest which might be damaged by issuance of the DA Permit. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments.
