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.
