Clean Water Act Dredge and Fill Permitting 101

Presented by:

Jane O Rowan, Senior Project Scientist, Mott MacDonald

ABSTRACT:

Along with the average ambient temperature the regulatory climate continues to "heat up". What does it take to put together a Section 404 permit application for work in and adjacent to the Delaware River? This presentation will address some of the buzzwords associated with the regulatory process including navigable waters, waters of the US, endangered species, critical habitat, Chapter 106, water dependency, 404(b)1 guidelines, and others, and will provide some ideas on developing a jurisdictional determination map for accurate depiction of regulated wetlands and waters to avoid, minimize, and accurately account for impacts to these resources.
