PART 337_PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  337.4  Memoranda of Agreement (MOA).



    The establishment of joint notification procedures for Corps 

projects involving disposal of dredged or fill material should be 

actively pursued through the development of MOAs with the state. The 

MOAs may be used to define responsibilities between the state and the 

Corps district involved. The primary purpose of MOAs will be to avoid or 

eliminate administrative duplication, when such duplication does not 

contribute to the overall decision-making process. MOAs for purposes of 

this regulation will not be used to implement provisions not related to 

the maintenance or enforcement of Federally-approved state water quality 

standards or coastal zone management programs. District engineers are 

authorized and encouraged to develop MOAs with states and other Federal 

agencies for Corps projects involving the discharge of dredged or fill 

material. Copies of all MOAs will be forwarded to CECW-D, Office of the 

Chief of Engineers, Washington, DC 20314-1000 for approval.
