This permit specifically provides the necessary Federal structural authorization under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 for projects already approved by a localized 404 authority. \n\nThe scope is limited to those projects that are subject to Section 10 authority but occur within the jurisdictional oversight of an EPA-approved state or tribal 404 program. It ensures that the Federal government maintains oversight of navigational safety while allowing the state or tribe to lead the primary environmental review for the discharge of dredged or fill material. ","Public feedback for NWP 24 generally supported the reissuance of the permit to maintain administrative efficiency and avoid regulatory duplication. Some commenters suggested that the permit should require a mandatory Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for all projects to ensure consistent Federal oversight of navigational impacts. \n\nThe Corps declined to add a mandatory PCN requirement, noting that existing Section 10 protections and General Conditions are adequate to protect navigation. They clarified that because these activities are already reviewed under EPA-approved state or tribal 404 programs, adding redundant Federal layers would be contrary to the goal of streamlining the permitting process for minimal-impact activities. ","State agencies, Indian Tribes, and project proponents operating in states or tribal lands with EPA-approved Section 404 assumption programs need this permit. It is typically used for infrastructure or environmental projects that require simultaneous Section 404 water quality and Section 10 navigational structural authorization.
