Administrative Appeals of Corps of Engineers DecisionsAppeals Program Description
The Corps of Engineers has an administrative appeal process whereby applicants and landowners may appeal denied permits, issued permits that contain requirements that are unacceptable to the applicant, or jurisdictional determinations.These decisions are made by Corps District offices. The request for an appeal of such decisions are appealed to the Corps Division offices.Requests for appeal must be furnished to the Division office within 60 days of the date of the appealable decision.A site visit or an appeal conference or meeting may be conducted during the appeal process. A decision on the merits of the appeal based on the administrative record is normally made in 90 days. The Division will either uphold the District decision or send the case back to the District, with direction, to make a new decision.
This page contains links to additional information on the appeal process, including the regulations, forms, flow charts, previous appeal decisions, and other Division administrative appeal web pages.
