Points of Contact

You are encouraged to contact the Corps of Engineers for proposed work in waters and wetlands in your area. By discussing the work prior to submitting the application, your application can be processed more efficiently.

The Baltimore District Regulatory Branch is organized to:

• Provide improved customer service. 

• Afford reasonable and timely decisions to the regulated public.

• Provide "value added" protection to aquatic resources through watershed/ecosystems approaches.

• Improve efficiencies of our partnerships, especially with Pennsylvania and Maryland by streamlining the use and management of Programmatic General permits.

The organization consists of a Maryland Section, which includes D.C., and the military bases in northern Virginia and a Pennsylvania Section for that area of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the Baltimore District Regulatory boundaries.

The Maryland Section has two regions; Maryland Section Northern and Maryland Section Southern, the division of counties for these two regions is shown on the enclosed maps. The Regulatory Branch organization maintains a geographic approach to maximize each of the counties in the Baltimore District.

The Regulatory Branch personnel are responsible for making permit determinations, processing permits, and administering the permit program in specified region. Each office is responsible for the Counties within their area. The Regulatory Specialists within each section are assigned a number of counties and they are responsible for all permit activities within their assigned counties, including permit determinations, permit processing, pre-application meetings, and enforcement. A project proponent, therefore, has a single point of contact for his county, for permit activities.

When contacting any of the specialists, please be sure to leave a specific message along with a phone number where you can be reached. Mailing addresses for our Regulatory Branch offices are provided here.  Mailing addresses for all Corps of Engineers Regulatory Offices can be found here.

If you are unsure if your area of concern is within the Baltimore District's jurisdiction, this Headquarter's page link will allow you to submit a zipcode to determine the appropriate district - http://www.usace.army.mil/ContactUs.html
