Sec. 330.3  Activities occurring before certain dates.

    The following activities were permitted by NWPs issued on July 19, 
1977, and, unless the activities are modified, they do not require 
further permitting:
    (a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United 
States outside the limits of navigable waters of the United States that 
occurred before the phase-in dates which extended Section 404 
jurisdiction to all waters of the United States. The phase-in dates 
were: After July 25, 1975, discharges into navigable waters of the 
United States and adjacent wetlands; after September 1, 1976, discharges 
into navigable waters of the United States and their primary 
tributaries, including adjacent wetlands, and into natural lakes, 
greater than 5 acres in surface area; and after July 1, 1977, discharges 
into all waters of the United States, including wetlands. (section 404)
    (b) Structures or work completed before December 18, 1968, or in 
waterbodies over which the DE had not asserted jurisdiction at the time 
the activity occurred, provided in both instances, there is no 
interference with navigation. Activities completed shoreward of 
applicable Federal Harbor lines before May 27, 1970 do not require 
specific authorization. (section 10)
