Individual
Permits Individual permit applications require a full public interest review. A Public Notice is distributed to all known interested persons. After evaluating all comments and information received, a final decision on the application is made. The permit decision is generally based on the outcome of a public interest balancing process where the benefits of the project are balanced against the detriments. A permit will be granted unless the proposal is found to be contrary to the public interest. Processing time usually takes 60 to 120 days unless a public hearing is required or an environmental statement must be prepared. To apply for an individual permit, an application form must be completed. This application is available from all regulatory offices and this link, Permit Application Forms. Nationwide
General Permits Repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of a structure or fill which was previously authorized and currently serviceable. The structure or fill must not be significantly changed. Utility lines placed across a waterway. Discharge of bedding and backfill material is permitted if bottom contours are not changed. Single projects of less than 10 cubic yards of fill. Piecemeal work is not authorized. Bank stabilization projects less than 500 feet long containing less than an average of one cubic yard of material per running foot. The activity must be necessary for erosion protection and may not exceed the minimum amount needed for erosion protection. Fill is not to be placed in wetland areas or in a manner that impairs water flow. Materials free of waste metal products and unsightly debris must be used and the activity must be a single, complete project. Concrete poured into tightly sealed forms or cells if the concrete is a structural member not otherwise regulated. Minor
road crossing fills (temporary
or permanent). The crossing must be bridged or culverted to prevent
restriction of high flows. The fill placed in waters of the US is limited
to no more than one-third of an acre. Regional
