Nationwide General Permits
DEQ has certified with conditions the majority of the 2012 Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permits (NWPs) authorizing the discharge of dredged or fill material associated with general types of activities such as aquatic habitat restoration, establishment, and enhancement and residential, commercial, and institutional developments.
DEQ partially certified the following three NWPs: NWP 12 (Utility Line Activities), NWP 13 (Bank Stabilization), and NWP 14 (Linear Transportation Projects).
DEQ has denied the following four NWPs: NWP 16 (Return Water from Upland Contained Disposal Areas), NWP 17 (Hydropower Projects), NWP 51 (Land-Based Renewable Energy Generation Facilities), and NWP 52 (Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Pilot Projects). DEQ will provide individual §401 certifications for activities authorized under the NWPs that have been denied on a project-by-project basis.
The 2012 certifications will expire on March 18, 2017.
Regional General Permits
