Public Notice NAP-2013-00695-86 and NAP-2013-00696-86 is being revised to reflect an inadvertent omission made in the original notice concerning Tioga Marine Terminal.

The purpose of this revised public notice is to solicit comments and recommendations from the public concerning issuance of a Department of the Army permit for the work described below.
