Abstract

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C. 1344) authorizes the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to issue permits, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, for the discharge of dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States at specified disposal sites. Under the CWA, it is unlawful to discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States without first receiving authorization from the Corps, unless the discharge is covered under an exemption.
