Suspension of Nationwide Permit 21
AGENCY: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is immediately
suspending Nationwide Permit (NWP) 21, which authorizes discharges of
dredged or fill material into waters of the United States for surface
coal mining activities, in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. This suspension
is an interim measure to protect the aquatic environment while we
evaluate modification of NWP 21 or until NWP 21 expires in 2012. While
the suspension is in effect, individuals who seek authorization for
discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States
for surface coal mining projects in the affected region will have to
obtain Department of the Army authorization under the Clean Water Act
(CWA), through the individual permit process. Individual permits will
result in increased public involvement in the permit evaluation
process, including an opportunity for public comment on individual
projects. NWP 21 activities that have been verified by District
Engineers prior to the effective date of this suspension in the
affected region continue to be authorized by that NWP until it expires
on March 18, 2012, unless the District Engineer takes action to modify,
suspend or revoke a particular NWP authorization on a case-by-case
basis in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR 330.5(d). District
engineers may not modify previously issued NWP 21 verifications in this
region to authorize additional discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the United States; such discharges must be applied for
and evaluated under the individual permit process. This suspension of
NWP 21 does not apply to other regions of the United States. The
suspension will remain in effect until the Corps takes further action
on NWP 21 or until NWP 21 expires on March 18, 2012. The Corps will
publish its decision concerning the proposed NWP 21 modification in a
future Federal Register notice.
DATES: The effective date of the suspension of NWP 21 in the
Appalachian region of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia, and West Virginia is June 18, 2010.
