This is an abstract from the "U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: A National Perspective on CRM, Research, and Consultation" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Regulatory Program evaluates activities that require Department of the Army authorization under various legislative authorities. The most common authority managed under the Corps’ Regulatory Program is Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. This presentation will introduce the Corps’ various authorities, provide examples of activities regulated under each authority, with an emphasis on Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Types of jurisdictional waters of the United States such as wetlands and streams will be discussed, along with defining features of various aquatic resources. Individual Permits, Nationwide Permits, and other Department of the Army authorizations will be explained, including the appropriate application of these permits.
