The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has granted the Alabama State Port Authority’s (ASPA) request to extend the comment period for the Upper Mobile Bay Beneficial Use Wetland Creation Site (Planning) Project permit application until February 3, 2022. This extension provides you with additional opportunities for reviewing the project design and providing comments.
ASPA requested the extension in response to public interest and to increase opportunity for community and intergovernmental agency engagement. The Project is of vital importance to the Port, the community, and the environment, and as such, we encourage you to be involved!

Currently, field investigations, studies, and conceptual design tasks are being completed along with public education and outreach. During 2021, the Project team will work to develop a design that meets grant requirements.
