Bill overview
This bill, the Reducing Permitting Uncertainty Act, clarifies the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority regarding the use of specific areas for disposing of dredged or fill material under the Clean Water Act. Specifically, it outlines a process for the Secretary of the Army to determine if a proposed disposal site should be permitted, and gives the EPA more control over prohibiting or restricting such uses. The bill aims to reduce uncertainty in the permitting process by establishing a minimum timeframe for EPA review and notification. It focuses on streamlining the process for determining whether a specific area can be used for disposal.
