WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting an environmental review of Micron's planned up to $100 billion dynamic random-access memory chips manufacturing campus in central New York, the agency said on Friday.

Micron has applied for funding under the $39 billion Commerce Department "Chips and Science" U.S. semiconductor subsidy program and an environmental review is required if the project receives government funding, USACE said.

The company is seeking government support for the project it plans to starting building next year, with two of the four planned 600,000 square foot (55,741 square meters) fabrication units open by 2029, according to the filing.

Micron intends to invest up to $100 billion over the next 20-plus years to construct a new 1,400-acre mega chips campus in Clay, New York, with $20 billion planned by 2030.

The planned project includes constructing a childcare and health care center, a connection to the National Grid substation and a rail spur, according to the filing. Two more fabs would be operational by 2041, according to the filing.

The Commerce Department declined to comment on Friday. Micron did not immediately have a comment. A March 19 meeting on the environmental review is planned.
