Nationwide permits (NWPs) are a type of general permit and represent DA authorizations that have been issued by the regulation (33 CFR Part 330) for certain specified activities nationwide. If certain conditions are met, the specified activities can take place without the need for an individual or regional permit.
A prospective permittee must satisfy all terms and general conditions of an NWP for a valid authorization to occur as well as any applicable Regional Condtiions listed below for Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Some conditions identify a "threshold" that, if met, requires additional procedures or provisions contained in other paragraphs in this section. It is important to remember that the NWPs only authorize activities from the perspective of the Corps regulatory authorities and that other Federal, state, and local permits, approvals, or authorizations may also be required. State 401 water quality certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, or waiver thereof, is required prior to the issuance or reissuance of NWPs authorizing activities which may result in a discharge into waters of the United States.
Nationwide Permits authorize a category of activities throughout the entire nation, and are valid only if the regional conditions (see below) applicable to the permits are met. If these conditions are not met, a regional or individual permit will be required.
