Section 404(t) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. S: 1344(t), requires federal agencies to comply with state substantive and procedural requirements governing discharge of dredged material in navigable waters, including payment of fees charged for processing an application for a permit to conduct dredge and fill activities in Hiawatha National Forest. Thus, we do not object to the Forest Service's use of its appropriated funds to pay the permit-processing fee imposed by Michigan. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286951/html/GAOREPORTS-B-286951.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286951/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-286951.pdf GAO/B-286951 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-286951 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-286951; Application for Permit to Dredge in National Forest State of Michigan, B-286951, January 10, 2002; Title 42 Section 4321et seq. 42 U.S.C. 4321et seq.
