Indiana Department of Transportation Waterway Permitting Manual B 42

Appendix B – USACE Guidance

All embayments or backwater areas on all tributaries to streams listed above are considered navigable for administrative purposes. If anyone is now contemplating work or activity on a waterway, whether or not such waterway is listed above, or whether such proposed work or activity is above the jurisdictional limit shown above on a listed waterbody, it is suggested that the appropriate Corps of Engineers Office be contacted prior to commencement of such work or activity. Such contact may prevent a subsequent determination that such work or activity is illegal based upon a final determination of navigability.

As mentioned before, the above listed stream limits define where permits are required, for work or construction,

under Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899. The Corps of Engineers has permitting jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for all waters of the United States. Section 404 regulates the placement of dredged or fill material into streams and their adjacent wetlands areas. Therefore, should you anticipate placing material into any streams, lakes, wetlands you should contact the Corps of Engineers to determine the authorization required prior to the placement of the dredged or fill material.
