The Metropolitan Golf Foundation requested Section 401 Water Quality Certification to accompany the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Permit for Nationwide Permit 43 for “Stormwater Management Facilities.” The project is located in Section 27, Township 46 North, Range 6 East, Land Grant 02508 and 02759, in St. Louis County, Missouri. The proposed project includes clearing and grading the existing stream channel and replacing it with a system of in-stream stormwater impoundment lakes connected by culverts and decorative channels. The lakes will then be used for irrigation water source. Impacts include approximately 2,405 linear feet of stream channel.
