                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 230--SECTION 404(b)(1) GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFICATION OF DISPOSAL SITES 
FOR DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL--Table of Contents
 
                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec. 230.4  Organization.

    The Guidelines are divided into eight subparts. Subpart A presents 
those provisions of general applicability, such as purpose and 
definitions. Subpart B establishes the four conditions which must be 
satisfied in order to make a finding that a proposed discharge of 
dredged or fill material complies with the Guidelines. Section 230.11 of 
subpart B, sets forth factual determinations which are to be considered 
in determining whether or not a proposed discharge satisfies the subpart 
B conditions of compliance. Subpart C describes the physical and 
chemical components of a site and provides guidance as to how proposed 
discharges of dredged or fill material may affect these components. 
Subparts D through F detail the special characteristics of particular 
aquatic ecosystems in terms of their values, and the possible loss of 
these values due to discharges of dredged or fill material. Subpart G 
prescribes a number of physical, chemical, and biological evaluations 
and testing procedures to be used in reaching the required factual 
determinations. Subpart H details the means to prevent or mimimize 
adverse effects. Subpart I concerns advanced identification of disposal 
areas.
