The purpose of the proposed rulemaking is to adopt by reference an operating agreement between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the District. The operating agreement outlines the procedures to be followed by the ACOE and the District to implement the ACOE's Programmatic General Permit – PGP-SAJ-95. PGP-SAJ-95 addresses multi-phase projects that are being developed pursuant to a conceptual environmental resource permit. Currently such projects require construction permits from both the ACOE and the District prior to each phase of construction. The effect of implementing PGP-SAJ-95 will streamline permitting of such projects by eliminating the need for a separate approval from the ACOE once it has approved the conceptual design.
