On 15 December 2003, The Newhall Land and Farming Company applied to the USACE for a Department of the Army Standard Individual Permit (SIP), pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 U.S.C. 1344) to permanently impact 93.3 acres, including 20.5 acres of wetlands, and temporarily impact 33.3 acres of waters of the United States for the construction and maintenance of flood control facilities, roads, utilities, infrastructure and other components associated with the proposed Newhall Ranch Resource Management and Development Plan (RMDP) near the city of Santa Clarita, northwestern Los Angeles County, California. The RMDP component of the Newhall Ranch Specific Plan would facilitate a broad range of residential, mixed-use, commercial and industrial land uses, various public facilities, and public services and utilities, together with preservation of large tracts of open space. At build-out, the proposed project would result in approximately 2,550 acres of residential uses (9,081 single-family homes on 1,559 acres, and 11,804 multi-family homes on 991 acres), 5.5 million square feet (msf) of commercial uses on 258 acres; and the development of approximately 643 acres devoted to public facilities such as community parks, neighborhood parks, golf course, community lake, new elementary, junior high and high schools, library, electrical substation, fire stations, and a 6.8 million gallon-per- day water reclamation plant (WRP).
