This Public Notice announces the Section 408 review of the Cascade Natural Gas Corporation (CNG), Service Line Replacement at 43 E. Main Street, Walla Walla, Washington. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District (USACE) is reviewing CNG’s proposal to replace an existing gas line by boring underneath the Mill Creek Channel within the City of Walla Walla, Walla Walla County, Washington.
Alteration of a federally authorized project: This project proposes to bore underneath the Mill Creek Flood Control Channel to replace the existing gas main with a 2 inch steel gas main that will tie into existing services lines.

Section 408 provides authority to the Secretary of the Army to grant permission for the alteration or modification of USACE federal civil works projects when, in the judgment of the Secretary, such alteration or modification will not be injurious to the public interest and will not impair the usefulness of the project.
Consideration of Comments: USACE is soliciting comments specific to this project from the public, federal, state, and local agencies and officials, and other interested parties. Comments will be considered in determining whether it would be in the public interest to proceed with this action.
