Guidance On Identifying Waters Protected By Clean Water Act

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have extended the public comment period by 30 days for the draft guidance on Identifying Waters Protected by the Clean Water Act. In response to requests from state and local officials, as well as other stakeholders, EPA and the Corps will take additional comment until July 31, 2011 on this draft guidance. According to the agencies, this change in the public comment period will not impact the schedule for finalizing the guidance or alter the intent to proceed with a rulemaking.

The original 60-day public comment period was set to expire on July 1, 2011. The agencies will be publishing a notice of this 30-day extension in the Federal Register.
