The permit is designed to restore these areas to previously authorized depths or to controlling depths required for safe vessel ingress and egress, whichever is less.\n\nThe scope of this permit is restricted to Section 10 navigable waters and focuses on maintaining existing maritime infrastructure. It does not authorize the expansion of basins or the creation of new channels. A critical requirement is that all dredged material must be deposited in an upland area or a location with no waters of the United States, unless a separate specific authorization is obtained from the district engineer.","Public comments received regarding the NWP program generally supported maintaining administrative efficiency for routine maintenance activities. For NWP 35 specifically, no unique notable objections were raised that resulted in changes to the permit's national terms.\n\nThe Corps responded to general concerns about cumulative impacts by emphasizing that district engineers retain discretionary authority to require individual permits if they determine a specific dredging project would result in more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse effects. They also noted that the requirement for upland disposal of dredged material significantly reduces potential impacts to the aquatic environment.","Marina operators, yacht clubs, and public port authorities typically use this permit to maintain navigable depths in their facilities.
