| 00-15268 | Proposed Revisions to the Clean Water Act Regulatory Definitions of “Fill Material” and “Discharge of Fill Material” | Proposed Rule | On April 20, 2000, the Department of the Army (Army) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly proposed to revise their Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations defining the term "fill material" (65 FR 21292). Currently, the Army and EPA definitions of fill material differ from each other. The existing Army definition defines "fill material" as any material used for the primary purpose of replacing an aquatic area with dry land or of changing the bottom elevation of a water body, and specifically excludes from that definition any material discharged into the water primarily to dispose of waste, as that activity is regulated under section 402 of the CWA. The existing EPA definition defines "fill material" as any pollutant which replaces a portion of the waters of the U.S. with dry land or which changes the bottom elevation of such waters, regardless of the purpose of the discharge. The proposed rule would amend both the Army and EPA definitions of "fill material" to provide a single definition of that term, and thus ensure proper, consistent, and more effective regulation under the CWA of materials that have the effect of replacing any portion of a water of the U.S. with dry land or of changing the bottom elevation of any portion of a water of the U.S. The Army and EPA sought comment on the proposed rule by June 19, 2000. In response to comments from the public requesting additional time to fully analyze the issues and prepare comments, we are extending the comment period on the proposed rule to July 19, 2000. | 2000-06-16 | 2000 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/06/16/00-15268/proposed-revisions-to-the-clean-water-act-regulatory-definitions-of-fill-material-and-discharge-of | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-06-16/pdf/00-15268.pdf | Defense Department; Engineers Corps; Environmental Protection Agency | 103,142,145 | On April 20, 2000, the Department of the Army (Army) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly proposed to revise their Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations defining the term "fill material" (65 FR 21292).
