General Permits: An Environmental Minefield

摘要

In a matter of days, the Corps will propose a new NWP 13, as it does every five years. The public comment period will commence when the proposed permit is published. It is time to hold the Corps accountable and insist that the Corps: (1) comply with the minimal impact stricture of Section 404(e), (2) treat living shorelines as a practicable alternative, and (3) consider the cumulative impacts of bulkheads on the environment.
