Скачать или смотреть March 2022 Webinar - USACE Jurisdictional Determination Requests & Waters of the U.S. Definition

Presenter: Jon Barmore

Applying for a Jurisdictional Determination (JD) from the US Army Corps of Engineers can be a complex and confusing process with very little published guidance on exactly what is needed. Further, some USACE Districts have localized requirements and preferences on how and what to submit. Failing to meet these expectations may cause unnecessary delays in requests and may lead to significant changes to the proposed delineation. This talk will provide an overview of the general process for submitting Approved and Preliminary JDs, what information should be provided along with those requests, and how to navigate local requirements (using the New Orleans District as an example). Additionally, the definition of a federally regulated Water of the US (WOTUS) has undergone some recent and significant changes. Guidance will be provided on how best to stay current with the rules and how best to adapt existing delineation reports to the changes. [Please note that with the dynamic changes to federal wetland regulations, specifics of this talk may change very close to the presentation. All reasonable effort will be made to keep it current].
