Published Aug. 2, 2011

CONCORD, Mass. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is modifying the Massachusetts General Permit pursuant to 33 CFR 325.3(b) for minimal impact activities within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     

The modified General Permit will continue the simplified review process for activities in Corps of Engineers jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, and Section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.

 

To view the modified General Permit with changes highlighted go to: www.nae.usace.army.mil/reg/index.htm

and then select public notices and then “MA GP Modification.” To view the GP without the highlights select “State General Permits” and then “Massachusetts.”

 

The General Permit’s original expiration date of Jan. 20, 2015 will not change. The Corps of Engineers will begin its reissuance process approximately one year before the GP expires. At that time, the Corps of Engineers will issue a public notice requesting comments from the general public, and local, state and Federal agencies.
