Clean Water Act Section 404 State-Assumed Programs (Proposed Rule)

The Clean Water Act authorizes states [tribes] to assume the section 404 permit program for discharges of dredged or fill material into certain waters of the U.S. Implementing regulations establish specific information that must be submitted to EPA when a state/tribe requests program assumption and while administering the program. There are three types of information collected for different needs. The three parts are: 1) Information needed for EPA to review and approve state or tribal requests to assume the program; 2) information needed from permit applicants for reviewing and processing the permit application; and 3) information the state or tribe must submit to EPA in their annual report summarizing program administration.
