PART 324_PERMITS FOR OCEAN DUMPING OF DREDGED MATERIAL--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  324.3  Activities requiring permits.



    (a) General. DA permits are required for the transportation of 

dredged material for the purpose of dumping it in ocean waters.

    (b) Activities of Federal agencies. (1) The transportation of 

dredged material for the purpose of disposal in ocean waters done by or 

on behalf of any Federal agency other than the activities of the Corps 

of Engineers is subject to the procedures of this regulation. Agreement 

for construction or engineering services performed for other agencies by 

the Corps of Engineers does not constitute authorization under these 

regulations. Division and district engineers will therefore advise 

Federal agencies accordingly and cooperate to the fullest extent in the 

expeditious processing of their applications. The activities of the 

Corps of Engineers that involve the transportation of dredged material 

for disposal in ocean waters are regulated by 33 CFR 209.145.

    (2) The policy provisions set out in 33 CFR 320.4(j) relating to 

state or local authorizations do not apply to work or structures 

undertaken by Federal agencies, except where compliance

with non-Federal authorization is required by Federal law or Executive 

policy. Federal agencies are responsible for conformance with such laws 

and policies. (See EO 12088, October 18, 1978.) Federal agencies are not 

required to obtain and provide certification of compliance with effluent 

limitations and water quality standards from state or interstate water 

pollution control agencies in connection with activities involving the 

transport of dredged material for dumping into ocean waters beyond the 

territorial sea.
