CLEAN WATER ACT SECTION 404/10
Requirement Description Authority
CFR, RCW, WAC
Additional Information MDL No.
USACE Permit Decision The USACE assesses the permit application based on the comments received and its own evaluation. The USACE makes a decision whether or not to issue the individual permit and also prepares a ‘Statement of Finding’ document that is made public. Nationwide Permits (NWPs) may apply. NWPs are general permits issued by USACE and are designed to regulate, with little or no permit review, certain activities deemed to have minimal impact on waters under USACE jurisdiction. USACE Section 404 Permit Guidelines If an individual permit is not issued, the agency will need to consider redefining the proposed action (or the portion effecting wetlands) or incorporating mitigation measures. The agency must restart the Part II process - at the step of their choice. If an individual permit is issued, proceed to EPA review.
