This ensures the permit's impact analysis is grounded in the most recent ecological data while keeping the regulatory requirements consistent for project proponents.

This permit is intended for small-scale excavation where the total quantity of material dredged does not exceed 25 cubic yards. It provides a streamlined path for minor maintenance and small projects that require the removal of sediment or substrate from Section 10 waters. \n\nThe scope of the permit is strictly limited to the dredging activity itself. It does not authorize the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, nor does it cover the use of this material for beach restoration or the creation of new islands. All dredged material must be deposited in an upland area or at an authorized disposal site under a separate permit. ","The Corps received no specific public comments regarding the proposed reissuance of NWP 19 during the formal comment period. Consequently, the permit was reissued as originally proposed in the June 2025 Federal Register. \n\nIn the broader context of the NWP program reissuance, the Corps addressed general concerns regarding administrative efficiency and environmental protection. The Corps maintained that the low volumetric threshold of NWP 19 effectively balances the need for small-scale maritime maintenance with the statutory requirement to ensure no more than minimal environmental impacts. ","Compliance managers, marina operators, and private dock owners use this permit for small-scale sediment removal in navigable waters. It is primarily used in the maritime industry for minor maintenance tasks that do not involve Section 404 fill discharges.
