408-NAO-2026-00006 (Nansemond River Crossing – Raw Water Main Replacement Project)

Expiration date: 7/14/2026

Interested parties are hereby notified that a request for permission to alter a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federal project pursuant to Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, 33 U.S.C. 408 (Section 408) has been received and is under evaluation by the Norfolk District. This Section 408 request was submitted by the City of Norfolk to replace portions of the existing City of Norfolk raw water main across the Nansemond River in Suffolk, Virginia. The replacement raw water main will be 48-inch-diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) installed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The HDD installation method minimizes land disturbance and therefore minimizes impact to the environment. The HDD crossing is approximately 2,130 feet in horizontal length and will be installed beneath the Nansemond River at a depth sufficiently below the navigation channel so as not to impact future dredging operations. Upon completion, the newly installed main will be connected to the existing raw water mains on both sides of the Nansemond River. This project may alter the Nansemond River Federal Navigation Project. Comments should be received by the close of business on July 14, 2026.
