Activities That Require Permits

Activities in wetlands or streambeds that may require a permit include, but are not limited to:
  • placement of fill material
  • excavation
  • levee and dike construction
  • mechanized land clearing
  • bridge and road construction
Activities typically do not require a 404 Permit, if they:
  • Do not disturb the soil underlying a Water of the U.S.
  • Do not result in the placement of fill material into a Water of the U.S.
  • Do not involve the removal (dredge) of material from a Water of the U.S.
Before beginning any work in streambeds or suspected wetlands, consult your district environmental coordinator to determine if a permit is needed.
