This book was released on 1988 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several state and federal statutes require that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) obtain permits for any road construction activity that impacts wetlands and other bodies of water. These "[section] 404 permits" are issued by the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission after several state and federal agencies have had an opportunity to review the permit application. Prior to 1982, the VDOT had to wait two to nine months for approval of a [section] 404 permit application. In an effort to streamline the permit application process, the VDOT established a General Permit Program in 1982 to cover the relatively small, uncontroversial projects that comprise the bulk of VDOT construction activity. The goal of the Program was to expedite the permit application process through the use of monthly interagency coordination group meetings at which reviewing agency comments were transmitted directly to the VDOT. The scope of this preliminary study was threefold: (1) a survey of the state and federal laws and regulations that require the VDOT to obtain permits for activity affecting wetlands and water bodies; (2) an explanation of the process by which the VDOT obtains these permits; and (3) pinpointing potential and existing problem areas in the VDOT's General Permit Program. The results of this study show that the General Permit Program has theoretically met its goal of expediting the [section] 404 permit application process by removing several obstacles formerly encountered by the VDOT. The Program is free of several factors including public notice requirements and the public comment period that cause delays for other state transportation agencies. Additionally, those factors that do sometimes cause delay in the General Permit Program also cause problems in most other east coast States as well. Finally, representatives of the agencies that review [section] 404 permit applications generally feel that this Program has successfully streamlined the permit application process while still ensuring adequate environmental protection.

Book excerpt: Nationwide Permit Program (US Corps of Engineers Regulation) (COE) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Nationwide Permit Program (US Corps of Engineers Regulation) (COE) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is amending its nationwide permit regulations so that district engineers can issue nationwide permit verification letters that expire on the same date a nationwide permit expires. This amendment will provide regulatory flexibility and efficiency, by allowing district engineers to issue nationwide permit verifications that are valid for the same period of time a nationwide permit is in effect. We are also amending these regulations to reflect the 45-day pre-construction notification review period that has been in effect for the nationwide permit "pre-construction notification" general condition since June 7, 2000. This book contains: - The complete text of the Nationwide Permit Program (US Corps of Engineers Regulation) (COE) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section
Download or read book Compensating for Wetland Losses Under the Clean Water Act written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-11-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the importance of wetland protection, the Bush administration in 1988 endorsed the goal of "no net loss" of wetlands. Specifically, it directed that filling of wetlands should be avoided, and minimized when it cannot be avoided. When filling is permitted, compensatory mitigation must be undertaken; that is, wetlands must be restored, created, enhanced, and, in exceptional cases, preserved, to replace the permitted loss of wetland area and function, such as water quality improvement within the watershed. After more than a dozen years, the national commitment to "no net loss" of wetlands has been evaluated. This new book explores the adequacy of science and technology for replacing wetland function and the effectiveness of the federal program of compensatory mitigation in accomplishing the nation's goal of clean water. It examines the regulatory framework for permitting wetland filling and requiring mitigation, compares the mitigation institutions that are in use, and addresses the problems that agencies face in ensuring sustainability of mitigated wetlands over the long term. Gleaning lessons from the mixed results of mitigation efforts to date, the book offers 10 practical guidelines for establishing and monitoring mitigated wetlands. It also recommends that federal, state, and local agencies undertake specific institutional reforms. This book will be important to anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the "no net loss" issue: policy makers, regulators, environmental scientists, educators, and wetland advocates.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conference focused on recent work in freshwater wetlands [both natural and constructed] with a view toward understanding wetland processes in a watershed context. Since humans have played important roles in watershed dynamics for years, attention was given to the human dimensions of wetland and watershed uses. Contributed sessions were organized on: biogeochemical cycling in wetlands; human health issues related to water; wetland restoration and reforestation; the role of wetlands in agricultural systems; wetlands and USA environmental law; chemical ecology and natural products from wetlands; water and wetlands in science education; and regional water strategies.
