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.
