About this file
This is a permit modification document issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District, to the Brevard County Natural Resources Management Department regarding authorization for dredging activities in Sykes Creek, Florida. The document reverifies a previously authorized activity involving the removal of 642,000 cubic yards of organic sediments from canals and borrow areas via hydraulic and/or environmental clam shell dredging. The project encompasses 162 acres within the Sykes Creek/Barge Canal waterbody located north of East Merritt Island Causeway in Brevard County, Florida. Associated work includes 0.1 acre of vegetation trimming and clearing and 0.055 acre of fill in wetlands. The activity is authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) number 27, and this reverification is valid until March 15, 2031. The project document was issued on March 23, 2026, and references the January 8, 2026 Federal Register (91 FR 768) containing the 2026 NWPs, Jacksonville District regional conditions dated February 13, 2026, and general and special conditions from previous correspondence.
The permit reverification confirms that no changes have been made to the previously authorized activity performed in accordance with attached drawings and established terms and conditions. The authorization permits work to commence provided the relevant NWP remains in effect, with a 12-month completion grace period if work has commenced before any expiration, modification, or revocation of the permit. The permit holder is directed to access the USACE Jacksonville District Regulatory webpage for additional NWP information and supporting documentation. Contact information is provided for project manager Alexi Depp, and copies of the correspondence were sent to Marie Yarbrough at AtkinsRealis, indicating contractor involvement in the project.
