Proposal to Issue and Modify Nationwide Permits

To further ensure that the proposed nationwide permits (NWPs) published in the July 1, 1998, Federal Register would only authorize activities that have minimal adverse environmental effects on the aquatic environment, the Corps is proposing additional changes to those proposed NWPs. For example, the Corps is announcing its decision to withdraw the proposed NWP B for master planned development and proposing the addition of a restriction on the use of certain NWP's in the 100 year Floodplain. We are proposing to exclude NWPs in designated critical resource waters and in impaired waters. In addition, the Corps has revised its schedule for developing the NWPs to provide for additional public comment. This will result in a delay in the schedule for issuing the new and revised NWPs. Consequently, the Corps is also announcing its decision to delay the expiration of NWP 26, so that it will not expire before the proposed new and revised NWPs are issued. The revised schedule provides for the new and revised NWPs to be issued and for NWP 26 to expire on September 15, 1999.
