The Clean Water Act (CWA) established the Section 404 program, under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) may issue permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material into ``waters of the United States,'' as identified in the CWA. Section 404(g)(1) of the CWA authorizes states and tribes to administer their own permit program for the discharge of dredged or fill material into navigable waters, other than those waters that the CWA reserves as subject to Corps jurisdiction. On August 20, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received from the Governor of the State of Florida, a complete program submission for regulating discharges of dredged or fill material into waters within the jurisdiction of the State in accordance with the CWA. Pursuant to CWA Section 404(h) and EPA's implementing regulations, EPA will hold public hearings and is opening a 45-day comment period. EPA is also initiating a programmatic consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and is soliciting comments pursuant to NHPA implementing regulations during the 45-day comment period.

Notice and request for comments.
The Clean Water Act (CWA) established the Section 404 program, under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) may issue permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material into ``waters of the United States,'' as identified in the CWA. Section 404(g)(1) of the CWA authorizes states and tribes to administer their own permit program for the discharge of dredged or fill material into navigable waters, other than those waters that the CWA reserves as subject to Corps jurisdiction. On August 20, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received from the Governor of the State of Florida, a complete program submission for regulating discharges of dredged or fill material into waters within the jurisdiction of the State in accordance with the CWA. Pursuant to CWA Section 404(h) and EPA's implementing regulations, EPA will hold public hearings and is opening a 45-day comment period. EPA is also initiating a programmatic consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and is soliciting comments pursuant to NHPA implementing regulations during the 45-day comment period.
Comments on EPA's decision to approve or disapprove under CWA Section 404 must be received on or before November 2, 2020. Comments associated with the consultation under section 106 of the NHPA may also be submitted on or before November 2, 2020.
