The proposed project is in located in and adjacent to the Illinois River, near Gore, Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. The project site can be found on the Gore, Oklahoma 7.5 Minute USGS Quadrangle map at North Latitude 35.522744 and West Longitude -95.088154. The overall purpose of this work is to excavate gravel to be used for Sequoyah County road maintenance. The project is not a water dependent activity. The applicant proposes to use a track hoe and bulldozer to excavate approximately 15,000 cubic yards of gravel per year. All excavated materials would be loaded and hauled to a worksite. All equipment will be stored above the Ordinary High Water Mark of the Illinois River. The proposed primary sources of gravel would be along the left descending bank (east side) bordering the Illinois River. Fill material for the project would consist of the redistribution of dredged material by the operation of the bulldozer and the maintenance of Roads 1 and 2.
