| 2016-29888 | State Program Requirements; Approval of Program Revisions to Michigan's Clean Water Act Section 404 Program | Notice | In a July 5, 2013, letter, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approve revisions to the State's Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permitting program that resulted from the enactment of Michigan Public Act 98 (PA 98). CWA Section 404 requires permits for dredge and fill activities in wetlands subject to federal jurisdiction. A state CWA Section 404 program must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of CWA Section 404 and its implementing regulations. Any revisions to state CWA programs must be approved by EPA before the revision may be implemented. Substantial modifications to a state's CWA Section 404 program become effective upon EPA approval and publication of EPA's decision in the Federal Register. EPA has reviewed the proposed revisions to Michigan's Section 404 program within the sections of the Michigan statute modified by PA 98 and has found a majority of revisions within PA 98 sections to be consistent with the CWA and approvable. Other revisions are inconsistent with the CWA and thus not approvable. | 2016-12-13 | 2016 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/13/2016-29888/state-program-requirements-approval-of-program-revisions-to-michigans-clean-water-act-section-404 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-13/pdf/2016-29888.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In a July 5, 2013, letter, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approve revisions to the State's Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permitting program that resulted from the... |
