What US 33 CFR Part 323: Permits for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material into Waters of the United States (Section 404 Clean Water Act) requires

US 33 CFR Part 323 implements Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) governing the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States (WOTUS) including wetlands. The US Army Corps of Engineers issues Section 404 permits (individual or general); EPA can veto or modify Corps permits under CWA Section 404(c). Permits are individual or general (Nationwide Permits NWP regional permits programmatic permits). Applicants must demonstrate no practicable alternative to the discharge and that proposed mitigation will compensate for unavoidable impacts. The Supreme Court Sackett v. EPA decision (2023) limited WOTUS to relatively permanent waters and wetlands with continuous surface connection to such waters; subsequent agency rulemaking implements the narrower jurisdiction.
