Workshops offered on Army Corps permitting
SEATTLE—The Army Corps of Engineers and Washington State Department of Ecology are sponsoring free workshops this August covering recent changes in nationwide permits, Endangered Species Act program streamlining tools and stream bank protection guidelines.
On March 18, 2002, all nationwide permits were reissued, some with modifications. Nationwide permits are administered by the Corps of Engineers and authorize minor activities in the nation’s waters, including wetlands. These activity-specific permits allow work that will have a minimal adverse impact to the environment when that work meets certain terms and conditions.
The workshops will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and registration is not required. Dates and locations are as follows:
Aug. 13-------Olympia-----Dept. of Information Services, 1110 Jefferson St. SE
Aug. 14-------Seattle-----Federal Center South, 4735 E. Marginal Way South
Aug. 15-------Vancouver-----Department of Ecology, 2108 Grand Blvd.
Aug. 19-------Bellingham-----Dept. of Transportation, 3920 Airport Way
Aug. 20-------Wenatchee-----Washington Apple Commission, 2900 Euclid Ave.
Aug. 21-------Yakima-----Dept. of Transportation, 900 E. Selah Rd.
Aug. 22-------Spokane-----Dept. of Transportation, 2714 N. Mayfair Street
A copy of the nationwide permits and all the conditions are available in a Special Public Notice, published July 18, 2002. The Special Public Notice can be found at http://www.nws.usace.army.mil by selecting “Regulatory/Permits” from the left hand column and clicking on “2002 Nationwide Permits.”
