Westwater Resources submitted a Section 404 permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its Coosa Graphite Deposit in Alabama. This Clean Water Act filing addresses potential water impacts from future development. The application marks a significant step in the project's overall permitting process.
The Coosa deposit is the largest and most developed graphite source in the contiguous United States. It will serve as the primary domestic source of natural flake graphite for the nearby Kellyton Graphite Plant. This development supports Westwater’s strategy to establish a vertically integrated, U.S.-based supply chain for lithium-ion battery graphite.
