This legislation aims to streamline the permitting process for dredging projects by requiring the Secretary of the Army to propose a new nationwide permit (NWP) for federal and non-federal dredging activities in U.S. ports and navigation channels. This NWP must be proposed within 60 days of enactment and will be valid for an extended term of up to 10 years. The bill defines dredging projects to include maintaining, expanding, or deepening ports up to 60 feet. The bill establishes strict timelines for both federal and state agencies in processing permits and certifications. For the NWP itself, environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) must be completed within two years, with limits on the number of required documents. State water quality certifying authorities are given 14 days to determine application completeness and a maximum of one year to act on complete applications; failure to meet these deadlines results in the application being deemed complete or approved. For individual projects seeking approval under the new NWP, the Secretary must determine application completeness within 14 days and approve or deny complete applications within 30 days. If the Secretary fails to meet these deadlines, the proposed activity is deemed compliant with the NWP. The legislation also streamlines NEPA requirements for individual projects, allowing the Secretary to mitigate significant effects without requiring the permittee to conduct full NEPA reviews. Additionally, the bill repeals and amends sections of title 46, United States Code, to exclude dredged material from certain transportation requirements , further reducing regulatory burdens.
