This notice announces an application submitted for a Department of the Army (DA) Permit, subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act:
APPLICANT: North American Stainless 6870 Highway 42 East Ghent, Kentucky 40145
AGENT: Redwing Ecological Services, Inc. 1139 South Fourth Street Louisville, Kentucky 40203
LOCATION: In wetlands at the 106-acre project site located north of the existing North American Stainless (NAS) facility along U.S. 42, Ghent, Carroll County, Kentucky
Latitude: 38.728597°
Longitude: -85.080216° 7.5 Minute Quad: Vevay South
PURPOSE: To construct a new production mill and associated infrastructure.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The proposed project includes the construction of a new roughing mill, new coil storage area, new staging lot, project associated infrastructure, and provides NAS the ability to expand production processes and associated storage requirements in the future. The proposed project would require the permanent discharge of approximately 20,000 cubic yards of beneficial refuse fill material impacting 0.001 acre of Wetland 2, 0.028 acre of Wetland 4, 7.170 acres of Wetland 5, 0.114 acre of Wetland 6, and 0.268 acre of Wetland 7 to construct a building pad to facilitate the construction of the NAS expansion.
AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND MITIGATION MEASURES: The applicant has considered five alternative building sites and three design alternatives to avoid impacts to “waters of the U.S.” The preferred alternative was chosen due to site constraints, location abutting the existing facility, and cost efficiency. The applicant has proposed to mitigate impacts to 7.581 acres of wetlands by purchasing credits from the in-lieu fee program administered by the Kentucky Division of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
It is noted that this proposed mitigation plan is open to comment and subject to change. The Corps will make a determination of appropriate mitigation, upon review of all submitted information.
REVIEW PROCEDURES: A DA Permit cannot be issued if any legally required Federal, State, or local authorization or certification is denied. A DA permit, if otherwise warranted, will not be issued until a State of Kentucky Water Quality Certification or waiver is on file at this office. In order to comply with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the applicant must apply for State certification from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Division of Water (KDOW).
Copies of this notice are sent to the appropriate Federal and State Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Their views and comments are solicited in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1956. Based on information by the applicant, and a review of the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) website, https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/, the following federally-listed species are known to or believed to occur in the area to be affected (directly or indirectly) by the proposed action:

The Endangered Species Act (ESA, 87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) requires federal agencies to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) pursuant to Section 7(a) 2 of the ESA on all actions that may affect a species listed (or proposed for listing) under the ESA as threatened or endangered, or any designated critical habitat. A copy of this notice is being furnished to the USFWS for their review. Per this notification, we request comments from the USFWS concerning potential impact to threatened and/or endangered species. After receipt of comments, the USACE will evaluate the potential impacts to proposed and/or listed species and their designated critical habitat and initiate consultation with USFWS, if required.
