Abstract

The Clean Water Act explicitly provides an option for states (and authorized tribes) to adopt responsibility for the dredged or fill permitting program pursuant to section 404(g). State administration of a dredged or fill program operates under state authorities approved by EPA as consistent with the CWA and its implementing regulations. The state of Florida has submitted to EPA a request to assume administration of the CWA section 404 dredged or fill permitting program. This docket contains the request, informational materials and documents supporting this request. The docket will also be the repository of all public comments received and considered by EPA when reviewing the request. Information collected in support of EPA’s review conforms with the Paperwork Reduction Act and covered under Information Collection Request number 0220.13 as approved by the Office of Management and Budget.
