The Permitting Process typically begins with a wetland delineation to determine if wetlands or other waters that may be regulated by the Corps are present on a property. If a project will impact a jurisdictional wetland or other water, then a permit from the Corps may be required.
The Regulatory Division is continually improving efficiencies within the Regulatory Program. Regulatory has introduced a NEW national online application portal and management platform called the Regulatory Request System (RRS) to modernize its permitting process and meet user expectations by providing a straightforward transparent process for the submittal of permit requests. RRS is a web-based platform currently in a beta version which provides general information on the Regulatory Program and allows submittal of pre-application meeting requests, jurisdictional determination requests, and individual and general permit applications and other necessary information, saving time and reducing the need for paper-based submissions. Applicants will also be able to track the status of their projects using a user-friendly dashboard. Users will be required to create an account using LOGIN.GOV for online submittals and to receive status updates. Click on the Link Below for additional information:
