to protect navigation . Since then, as a result

of laws and court decisions, the program

has been broadened so that it now considers the full public interest for both the protection and utilization of water resources .

The regulatory authorities and responsibilities of the Corps of Engineers are based on

the following laws :

•

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors

Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) prohibits

the obstruction or alteration of navigable

waters of the United States without a

permit from the Corps of Engineers .

• Section 404 of the Clean Water Act

(33 U.S.C. 1344). Section 301 of this

Act prohibits the discharge of dredged

or fill material into waters of the United

States without a permit from the Corps

of Engineers.

Other laws may also affect the processing of

applications for Corps of Engineers permits .

Among these are the National Environmental Policy Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination

Act, the Endangered Species Act, the

National Historic Preservation Act, the Deepwater Port Act, the Federal Power Act, the

Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Wild

and Scenic Rivers Act, and the National

Fishing Enhancement Act of 1984 .
Explanation of

Some Commonly Used Terms

Certain terms which are closely associated

with the regulatory program are explained

briefly in this section . If you need more

detailed definitions, refer to the Code of

Federal Regulations (33 CFR Parts 320

through 330) or contact a Corps district

regulatory office .

Activity(ies) as used in this pamphlet

includes structures (for example a pier,

wharf, bulkhead, or jetty) and work (which

includes dredging, disposal of dredged

material, filling, excavation or other

modification of a navigable water of the

United States) .

Navigable Waters of the United States are

those waters of the United States that are

subject to the ebb and flow of the tide

shoreward to the mean high water mark

and/or are presently used, or have been

used in the past or may be susceptible to

use to transport interstate or foreign commerce. These are waters that are navigable

in the traditional sense where permits are

required for certain activities pursuant to

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act .

This term should not be confused with the

term waters of the United States below.

Waters of the United States is a broader

term than navigable waters of the United

States defined above. Included are adjacent

wetlands and tributaries to navigable waters

of the United States and other waters where

the degradation or destruction of which

could affect interstate or foreign commerce.

These are the waters where permits are ,

required for the discharge of dredged or fill

material pursuant to Section 404 of the

Clean Water Act .

Pre-application Consultation is one or

more meetings between members of the

district engineer's staff and an applicant and

his agent or his consultant . A pre-application

consultation is usually related to applications

for major activities and may involve discussion of alternatives, environmental documents, National Environmental Policy Act

procedures, and development of the scope

of the data required when an environmental

impact statement is required.

Public Hearings may be held to acquire

information and give the public the opportunity to present views and opinions . The

Corps may hold a hearing or participate in

joint public hearings with other Federal or

state agencies. The district engineer may

specify in the public notice that a hearing

will be held . In addition, any person may

request in writing during the comment

period that a hearing be held . Specific

reasons must be given as to the need for a

hearing . The district engineer may attempt

to resolve the issue informally or he may set

the date for a public hearing . Hearings are

held at times and places that are convenient

for the interested public. Very few applications involve a public hearing.

The Public Interest Review is the term

which refers to the evaluation of a proposed

activity to determine probable impacts .

Expected benefits are balanced against

reasonably foreseeable detriments . All relevant factors are weighed. Corps policy is to

provide applicants with a timely and carefully weighed decision which reflects the

public interest .

Public Notice is the primary method of

advising interested public agencies and

private parties of the proposed activity and

of soliciting comments and information

necessary to evaluate the probable impact

on the public interest . Upon request, anyone's name will be added to the distribution

list to receive public notices.

Waterbody is a river, creek, stream, lake,

pool, bay, wetland, marsh, swamp, tidal flat,

ocean, or other water area .

Questions That Are

Frequently Asked

Various questions are often asked about the

regulatory program . It is hoped that these

answers will help you to understand the program better.

Q. When should I apply for a Corps permit?

A. Since two to three months is normally

required to process a routine application

involving a public notice, you should

apply as early as possible to be sure

you have all required approvals before

your planned commencement date . For

a large or complex activity that may take

longer, it is often helpful to have a "preapplication consultation" or informal

meeting with the Corps during the early

planning phase of your project . You may

receive helpful information at this point

which could prevent delays later . When

in doubt as to whether a permit may be

required or what you need to do, don't

hesitate to call a district regulatory

office .

0. I have obtained permits from local and

state governments. Why do I have to get

a permit from the Corps of Engineers?

A. It is possible you may not have to obtain

an individual permit, depending on the

type or location of work. The Corps has

many general permits which authorize

minor activities without the need for individual processing . Check with your

Corps district regulatory office for information on general permits . When a general permit does not apply, you may still

be required to obtain an individual

permit .

0. What will happen if I do work without

getting a permit from the Corps?

A. Performing unauthorized work in waters

of the United States or failure to comply

with terms of a valid permit can have

serious consequences. You would be in

violation of Federal law and could face

stiff penalties, including fines and /or

requirements to restore the area .

Enforcement is an important part of the

Corps regulatory program . Corps surveillance and monitoring activities are often

aided by various agencies, groups, and

individuals, who report suspected violations. When in doubt as to whether a

planned activity needs a permit, contact

the nearest district regulatory office . It

could save a lot of unnecessary trouble

later .

0. How can I obtain further information

about permit requirements?

A. Information about the regulatory program is available from any Corps district

regulatory office . Addresses and telephone numbers of offices are listed at

the back of this pamphlet. Information

may also be obtained from the water

resource agency in your state .

0. Why should I waste my time and yours

by applying for a permit when you probably won't let me do the work anyway?

A. Nationwide, only three percent of all

requests for permits are denied . Those

few applicants who have been denied

permits usually have refused to change

the design, timing, or location of the proposed activity . When a permit is denied,

an applicant may redesign the project

and submit a new application . To avoid

unnecessary delays pre-application conferences, particularly for applications for

major activities, are recommended . The

Corps will endeavor to give you helpful

information, including factors which will

be considered during the public interest

review, and alternatives to consider that

may prove to be useful in designing a

project .

Q . What is a wetland and what is its value?

A. Wetlands are areas that are periodically

or permanently inundated by surface or

ground water and support vegetation

adapted for life in saturated soil . Wetlands include swamps, marshes, bogs

and similar areas . A significant natural

resource, wetlands serve important functions relating to fish and wildlife ; food

chain production ; habitat; nesting ;

spawning; rearing and resting sites for

aquatic and land species; protection of

other areas from wave action and erosion; storage areas for storm and flood

waters; natural recharge areas where

ground and surface water are interconnected ; and natural water filtration and

purification functions .

Although individual alterations of wetlands may constitute a minor change,

the cumulative effect of numerous

changes often results in major damage

to wetland resources . The review of

applications for alteration of wetlands

will include consideration of whether the

proposed activity is dependent upon

being located in an aquatic environment .

f

Q. How can I design my project to eliminate the need for a Corps permit?

A. If your activity is located in an area of

tidal waters, the best way to avoid the

need for a permit is to select a site that

is above the high tide line and avoids

wetlands or other waterbodies . In the

vicinity of fresh water, stay above ordinary high water and avoid wetlands adjacent to the stream or lake . Also, it is

possible that your activity is exempt and

does not need a Corps permit or that it

has been authorized by a nationwide or

regional general permit . So, before you

build, dredge or fill, contact the Corps

district regulatory office in your area for

specific information about location,

exemptions, and regional and nationwide general permits .

THE PERMIT APPLICATION

General

The application form used to apply for a

permit is Engineer Form 4345, Application

for a Department of the Army Permit. You

can obtain the application from one of the

Corps of Engineers district regulatory offices

listed in the back of this pamphlet . Some offices may use a slightly modified form for

joint processing with a state agency ; however, the required information is basically

the same. It is important that you provide

complete information in the requested format. If incomplete information is provided,

processing of your application will be

delayed . This information will be used to

determine the appropriate form of authorization, and to evaluate your proposal . Some

categories of activities have been previously

authorized by nationwide or regional permits, and no further Corps approvals are

required. Others may qualify for abbreviated

permit processing, with authorizations in the

form of letters of permission, in which a permit decision can usually be reached in less

than 30 days . For other activities, a Public

Notice may be required to notify Federal,

state, and local agencies, adjacent property

owners, and the general public of the proposal to allow an opportunity for review and

comment or to request a public hearing .

Most applications involving Public Notices

are completed within four months and many

are completed within 60 days .

The district engineer will begin to process

your application immediately upon receipt of

all required information . You will be sent an

acknowledgement of its receipt and the

application number assigned to your file .

You should refer to this number when

inquiring about your application . Your proposal will be reviewed, balancing the need

and expected benefits against the probable

impacts of the work, taking into consideration all comments received and other relevant factors . This process is called the

public interest review. The Corps goal is to

reach a decision regarding permit issuance

or denial within 60 days of receipt of a complete application . However, some complex

activities, issues, or requirements of law

may prevent the district engineer from meeting this goal .

For any specific information on the evaluation process, filling out the application

forms, or the status of your application, you

should contact the regulatory branch of the

Corps of Engineers district office which has

jurisdiction over the area where you plan to

do the work.

Evaluation Factors

The decision whether to grant or deny a

permit is based on a public interest review

of the probable impact of the proposed

activity and its intended use . Benefits and

detriments are balanced by considering

effects on items such as :

conservation

economics

aesthetics

general environmental concerns

wetlands

cultural values

fish and wildlife values

flood hazards

floodplain values

food and fiber production

navigation

shore erosion and accretion

recreation

water supply and conservation

water quality

energy needs

safety

needs and welfare of the people

considerations of private ownership

The following general criteria will be considered in the evaluation of every application :

•the relative extent of the public and private need for the proposed activity ;

• the practicability of using reasonable

alternative locations and methods to

accomplish the objective of the proposed activity; and

•the extent and permanence of the beneficial and/or detrimental effects which

the proposed activity is likely to have on

the public and private uses to which the

area is suited .

Section 404(b) (1) of the Clean Water Act

If your project involves the discharge of

dredged or fill material, it will be necessary

for the Corps to evaluate your proposed

activity under the Section 404(b)(1)

guidelines prepared by the Environmental

Protection Agency. The guidelines restrict

discharges into aquatic areas where less

environmentally damaging, practicable alternatives exist.
9

Forms and Permits

The following forms apply to the permit

process :

Application

The form that you will need to initiate the

review process is ENG Form 4345 or a joint

Federal-state application that may be available in your state . The appropriate form

may be obtained from the district regulatory

office which has jurisdiction in the area

where your proposed project is located .

Individual Permits

An individual permit may be issued as either

ENG Form 1721, the standard permit, or as

a Letter of Permission .

El A standard permit is one processed

through the typical review procedures,

(see page 7) which include public notice,

opportunity for a public hearing, and

receipt of comments. It is issued following a case-by-case evaluation of a

specific activity .

I] If work is minor or routine with minimum

impacts and objections are unlikely, then

it may qualify for a Letter of Permission

(LOP). An LOP can be issued much

more quickly than a standard permit

since an individual public notice is not

required. The District Engineer will notify

you if your proposed activity qualifies for

an LOP .

General Permits

In many cases the formal processing of a

permit application is not required because of

general permits already issued to the public

at large by the Corps of Engineers. These

are issued on a regional and nationwide

basis.

Separate applications may not be required

for activities authorized by a general permit ;

nevertheless, reporting may be required . For

specific information on general permits, contact a district regulatory office .

ENG Form 4336

The third form, ENG Form 4336, is used to

assist with surveillance for unauthorized

activities . The form, which contains a

description of authorized work, should be

posted at the site of an authorized activity . If

the Corps decides it is appropriate for you

to post this form, it will be furnished to you

when you receive your permit .

Fees. Fees are required for most permits .

$10.00 will be charged for a permit for a

non-commercial activity ; $100 .00 will be

charged for a permit for a commercial or

industrial activity . The district engineer will

make the final decision as to the amount of

the fee . Do not send a fee when you submit

an application . When the Corps issues a

permit, you will be notified and asked to

submit the required fee payable to the

Treasurer of the United States . No fees are

charged for transferring a permit from one

property owner to another, for Letters of

Permission, or for any activities authorized

by a general permit or for permits to governmental agencies .

DRAWINGS

General Information

Three types of drawings-Vicinity, Plan, and

Elevation-are required to accurately depict

activities (See sample drawings on pages 16

and 17) .

Submit one original, or good quality copy, of

all drawings on 81/2 x 11 inch white paper

(tracing cloth or film may be used) . Submit

the fewest number of sheets necessary to

adequately show the proposed activity .

Drawings should be prepared in accordance

with the general format of the samples,

using block style lettering . Each page

should have a title block . See check list

below. Drawings do not have to be prepared

by an engineer, but professional assistance

may become necessary if the project is

large or complex .
