This is an advisory Special Public Notice to announce to the public updated guidance developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District for the establishment and use of a Proximity Factor Tool for determining the amount of compensatory mitigation required for Department of the Army (DA) permits. A full copy of this guidance titled "Standard Operating Procedure - Assessing a Proximity Factor for Compensatory Mitigation Required to Offset Unavoidable Impacts to Waters of the United States", dated October 4, 2024, is attached to the Public Notice. The Proximity Factor Tool can also be location on the Jacksonville District Regulatory web page Source Book under the Mitigation tab at the following link: https://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Source-Book/

A draft version of this guidance was advertised for public comment via Public Notice on August 12, 2022. The final guidance which was revised in response to stakeholder comments was announced in a public notice dated April 3, 2023. This current guidance has been updated in response to user feedback to provide clarity regarding entering information into the Proximity Factor Tool table. To ensure no less than a 1:1 mitigation ratio, a numerical value of 1 as opposed to 0 was included in the table along with a revision to the associated instructional guidance. In addition, information that was missing from the table was also added. Lastly, guidance related to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands was removed due to these locations being transferred from the Jacksonville District to the newly established Caribbean District.

Box 4970, Jacksonville, Florida 32232-0019, by electronic mail at cory.l.wilson@usace.army.mil, or by telephone at 904-232-1670.
