Any proposed project involving wetlands or other waters of the United States is likely to require some type of permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As the federal agency responsible for regulating impacts to wetlands, the Corps' regulations and the permit process can represent a significant part of a project's development. The identification of wetlands or other waters on a project site, determination of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act and ultimately the need for any permits can influence project design, schedule and cost. In today's atmosphere of changing regulatory practices, particularly with respect to the determination of federal jurisdiction, it is critical to understand how the Corps administers its regulatory programs. This live audio conference will help you understand how the federal wetlands program works, introducing you to the field or filling in the gaps if you are already working in the industry.

Learning Objectives:

• You will be able to discuss how jurisdiction is determined.
• You will be able to identify what goes in the application and why.
• You will be able to describe what is involved in evaluating the permit application.
• You will be able to review the statement of findings and permit decisions.
