 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District received a permit application to conduct work in waters of the United States from the New Brunswick Power Corporation for proposed work in the Saint Croix River off Poorhouse Lane in Calais, Maine.

The public notice with more detailed information is available for review on the District website at https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/PublicNotices, file # NAE-2019-2782.
