The current deadline to submit comments to the Corp is this Friday.

As of today, a few days away from the deadline, we have not received guidance nor the FOIA material requested.

In case you’re keeping track, it seems the ACOE, according to their Regs, requires a Public Hearing.

Section 327.4 – General policies.
Page 2
a. A public hearing will be held in connection with the consideration of a DA permit
application or a Federal project whenever a public hearing is needed for making a
decision on such permit application or Federal project. In addition, a public
hearing may be held when it is proposed to modify or revoke a permit. (See 33
CFR 325.7).
b. Unless the public notice specifies that a public hearing will be held, any person
may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in the public notice
on a DA permit application or on a Federal project, that a public hearing be held
to consider the material matters at issue in the permit application or with respect
to Federal project. Upon receipt of any such request, stating with particularity the
reasons for holding a public hearing, the district engineer may expeditiously
attempt to resolve the issues informally. Otherwise, he shall promptly set a time
and place for the public hearing, and give due notice thereof, as prescribed in
Section 327.11 of this Part. Requests for a public hearing under this paragraph
shall be granted, unless the district engineer determines that the issues raised are
insubstantial or there is otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing. The
district engineer will make such a determination in writing, and communicate his
reasons therefor to all requesting parties. Comments received as form letters or
petitions may be acknowledged as a group to the person or organization
responsible for the form letter or petition.
c. In case of doubt, a public hearing shall be held. HQDA has the discretionary
power to require hearings in any case.
d. In fixing the time and place for a hearing, the convenience and necessity of the
interested public will be duly considered.
