Mr. Michael Ricketts
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Louisville District
P.O. Box 59
Louisville, KY 40201-0059
Dear Mr. Ricketts:
Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification
Project: 2020 Reissuance of 41
Nationwide Permits
The Office of Water Quality has reviewed the Federal Register Notice dated
September 15, 2020, announcing the proposed reissuance of the Nationwide Permits
(NWP’s). We have also reviewed your correspondence dated October 16, 2020, stating
the Federal Register Notice is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) application for
water quality certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for those NWP’s
that will result in a discharge of dredged and/or fill material into waters of the United
States within the State of Indiana.
In electronic mail correspondence dated October 21, 2020, the Louisville District
Corps of Engineers notified IDEM that the previously suspended NWP’s 13, 14, 18, 29,
36, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, and 44 would no longer be suspended and be in full force and
effect in the state of Indiana.
Under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), a federal agency may not issue
a permit or license to conduct any activity that may result in any discharge into waters of
the United States unless a Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) is issued,
verifying compliance with water quality requirements. In Indiana, the Indiana
Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is the certifying authority and
certification decisions are based on Indiana’s water quality standards (WQS) found at
327 IAC 2 http://iac.iga.in.gov/iac//iac_title?iact=327
Per 327 IAC 2.1, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Mitigation
of dredge and fill impacts to Indiana’s water resources is required to maintain water
quality. To ensure WQS are met, IDEM conditions the NWPs as outlined in this 401
WQC. Additional information about the conditions is found in Attachment #3.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2020 NWP’s
Page 2
It is the judgment of this office that NWPs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15,
18, 19, 22, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 36, 37, 45, 46, and 49 will comply with applicable
provisions of state law (including 327 IAC 2) and Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307
of the Clean Water Act subject to the conditions set forth in this Certification. Therefore,
subject to the following conditions, the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management (IDEM) hereby grants Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) for
these NWPs. Any changes in language or scope of any NWP not detailed in the
aforementioned Federal Register Notice, or as modified by the conditions below, are not
authorized by this certification.
It is the judgement of this office that NWP’s 16, 17, 20, 23, 31, 32, 34, 35, 38, 41,
53, 54, and 59 are denied in the state of Indiana and will require a site specific
Individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification. The denial is based on the agency’s
inability to determine if these activities will comply with Indiana’s water quality standards
found at 327 IAC 2.
It is the judgement of this office that NWP’s 8 and 24 are activities that do not
occur in Indiana. Because of this no Section 401 Water Quality Certification is required.

GENERAL CONDITIONS:
The following conditions shall apply to any permittee whose project qualifies under any
NWP approved by this certification. All activities that do not meet these conditions
require an individual Water Quality Certification from IDEM and are not authorized
under this WQC.
(1) The permittee must submit a complete Notification Form for any NWP that requires
notification by this WQC. For those NWPs, the permittee must submit notification
at least 30 days prior to the impacts or receive verification from the IDEM Office of
Water Quality stating the proposed project meets the terms and conditions of this
Section 401 WQC. The notification submitted to the IDEM Office of Water Quality
must at a minimum provide applicant information, project location, existing project
site conditions, project impacts, and a proposed plan. Failure to submit all required
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2020 NWP’s
Page 4
information will result in the project being considered out-of-scope and not
authorized.
(2) The permittee shall deposit any dredged material in a contained upland disposal
area to prevent sediment run-off to any waterbody. An upland disposal area is
defined as an area of dry land that does not contain any wetlands as defined by
the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the applicable
Regional Supplements or any streams1.
(3) The permittee shall install run-off and sediment control measures prior to any land
disturbance to manage stormwater and to minimize sediment from leaving the
project site or entering a waterbody. All operations must phase project activities to
minimize the impact of sediment to the receiving waterbody(ies). Erosion and
sediment control measures shall be implemented using an appropriate order of
construction (sequencing) relative to the land-disturbing activities. Wetlands
and/or waterbodies that are adjacent to land-disturbing activities must be protected
with appropriate sediment control measures. As work progresses, all areas void of
protective cover shall be re-vegetated or stabilized as described in the plan. Areas
that are to be re-vegetated must utilize mulch that is anchored or, under more
severe conditions, erosion control blankets. Erosion control blankets or other
armament shall be used for all areas associated with concentrated flow.
Standards and specifications for stormwater management, including erosion and
sediment control can be obtained in the Indiana Stormwater Quality Manual or
similar guidance documents.
(4) The permittee shall allow the commissioner or an authorized representative of the
commissioner (including an authorized contractor), upon the presentation of
credentials to conduct the following activities:
(a) enter upon the permittee’s property;
(b) have access to and copy at reasonable times any records that must be kept
under the conditions of these permits or this certification;
(c) inspect, at reasonable times, any monitoring or operational equipment or
method; collection, treatment, pollution management or discharge facility or
device; practices required by this certification; and any mitigation site; and
(d) sample or monitor any discharge of pollutants or any mitigation site.
(5) This WQC does not authorize activities that result in a permanent secondary effect
to waters of the U.S. (e.g., dredging, excavation, damming, creation of in-channel
ponds) that when combined with the primary effect exceeds the area and length
thresholds specified by this WQC.
1 Stream, for the purpose of this Water Quality Certification, means conveyance channels that have a defined bed
and bank and an ordinary high water mark. This term includes natural streams, relocated streams, channelized
streams, artificial channels, encapsulated channels and ditches.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2020 NWP’s

(6) This WQC does not:
(a) authorize impacts or activities outside the scope of this certification;
(b) authorize any injury to permittees or private property or invasion of other
private rights, or any infringement of federal, state or local laws or regulations;
(c) convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privileges;
(d) preempt any duty to obtain federal, state or local permits or authorizations
required by law for the execution of the project or related activities; or
(e) authorize changes in the plan design detailed in the notice or application.
(7) This WQC does not authorize point source discharges of pollutants other than
clean fill2 and uncontaminated dredged material.
(8) This WQC does not authorize activities associated with the establishment of a
mitigation bank.
(9) This WQC does not authorize activities that will permanently change the sinuosity,
flow path, velocity, cross-sectional area under the Ordinary High Water Mark
(OHWM), or the slope of a stream except those activities authorized through
compliance with NWP #13 Specific Condition 9.
(10) This WQC does not authorize activities on or in any of the State’s waters that have
been designated as salmonid waters (see Attachment #1), tributaries of salmonid
waters within a two river mile reach upstream from the confluence with the
salmonid water unless the activity meets one or more of the following conditions:
(a) Bank stabilization activities that:
(1) Are completed using bioengineered methods, riprap, and/or glacial
stone, that conforms to the existing shoreline and does not project out
into the channel, and
(2) Do not create a wall.
(3) Do not include the installation of cofferdams, causeways, temporary
access roads, or dewatering activities.
(b) Encapsulations that:
(1) Are installed to span the width of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM),
and are embedded in accordance with Specific Condition 3(f)7 below,
and
(2) Do not include the installation of cofferdams, causeways, temporary
access roads, or dewatering activities.
(3) Are installed outside the salmonid fish spawning dates of March 15

Attachment 2: Critical Wetlands and Critical Special Aquatic Sites
In the interest of maintaining consistency with the State Regulated (Isolated) Wetland
program established at 327 IAC 17, IDEM defines Critical Wetlands and Critical Special
Aquatic Sites to be synonymous with Rare and Ecologically Important Wetland Types
under 327 IAC 17-1-3(3)(B):
• Acid bog: Acid bog is an acidic wetland of kettle holes in glacial terrain. Bogs can be
graminoid (Carex spp. and Sphagnum spp.) or low shrub (Chamaedaphne calyculata and
Betula pumila). The graminoid bog can be a floating, quaking mat. The soils in acid bogs
are saturated and acidic peat. Bogs have non-flowing or very slow flowing water. The water
level fluctuates seasonally. When a sphagnum mat floats, it rises and falls with the water
table. Acid bogs can be found in northern Indiana.
• Acid seep: Acid seep is a bog-like wetland typically found in unglaciated hill regions. This
community is a small groundwater-fed wetland located primarily in upland terrain. A thin
layer of muck may lie over a mineral substrate. The soil reaction is acid. This seep
community is characterized by flowing water during at least part of the year. Acid seeps are
located primarily in southern Indiana.
• Circumneutral bog: Circumneutral bog is a bog-like wetland that receives groundwater.
Circumneutral bogs can be a mosaic of tall shrub bog, graminoid bog, and other
communities. The graminoid bog often occurs on a quaking or floating mat. Although a few
bogs occur in unglaciated regions, most are found in glacial ice-block depressions. The
soils in circumneutral bogs are usually peat, or other low nutrient organic substrates, which
are saturated and circumneutral to slightly acid. Circumneutral bogs have non-flowing or
very slow flowing water. The water level fluctuates seasonally. Circumneutral bogs are
usually found in northern Indiana.
• Circumneutral seep: The circumneutral seep (or seep-spring) is a groundwater-fed
wetland on organic soil. It is primarily herbaceous. Species typically include marsh
marigold (Caltha palustris) and skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) with a scattered
tree canopy. Circumneutral seep is typically situated on or near the base of a slope. The
soil is typically circumneutral muck. This seep community is characterized by slowly flowing
water during at least part of the year. Circumneutral seeps can be found scattered
throughout Indiana.
• Cypress swamp: Bald cypress swamps are seasonally to permanently inundated wetlands
found in depressions and sloughs of large bottomlands associated with the Wabash/Ohio
River system. Poorly to very poorly drained soils characterize this environment. Bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum) is present, and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), silver
maple (Acer saccharinum), and overcup oak (Quercus lyrata) are also usually present. This
community is restricted to extreme southwest Indiana.
• Dune and swale: Dune and swale is an ecological system consisting of a mixture of upland
(black oak sand savanna, dry to mesic sand prairie) and wetland (pond, panne, sedge
meadow, marsh, wet prairie) natural communities. These communities occur in long,
narrow, linear complexes, with the dry communities occupying sand ridges, and the wet
communities occurring in the intervening swales. Black oak (Quercus velutina), paper birch
(Betula papyrifera), jack pine (Pinus banksiana), and prairie vegetation typically occur on the
ridges, and sedges, reeds, and marsh/aquatic vegetation line are found in the swales.
Water levels are directly influenced by ground water, with the interdunal swales controlled
largely by lateral flow through porous beach ridges. Dune and swale is restricted to extreme
northwest Indiana, near Lake Michigan.
• Fen: Fen is a calcareous, groundwater-fed wetland. Fens are often a mosaic of grassy
areas, sedgy areas, graminoid-shrubby cinquefoil, and tall shrub areas. The extent of the
tall shrub component of fens may be determined by fire frequency and/or soil moisture.
Drying of the soil increases the growth of shrubs. Fens typically occur in the vicinity of
glacial moraines. Fens typically have a muck or peat substrate. The water level fluctuates
seasonally and is fed by groundwater. Fens can be found in central and northern Indiana.
• Forested fen: Forested fen is a tree-dominated wetland on organic soil which receives
groundwater. Forested fens are often a mosaic of treed areas, tall shrub areas, and
herbaceous areas. A tall shrub layer is often well developed in forested fens. Indicative
species typically include tamarack (Larix laricina), black ash (Fraxinus nigra), yellow birch
(Betula alleghaniensis), poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix), and red maple (Acer
rubrum). Forested fens occur in wet lowlands, where moraines meet outwash features or
depressions. Forested fens have saturated, poorly to very poorly drained soils that are often
muck, but some seasonal flooding can occur in forested fens that are especially level. This
community is a late successional stage of fen or circumneutral bog. Forested fens occur in
northern Indiana.
• Forested swamp: Forested swamp is a seasonally inundated to intermittently exposed
wetland of large river bottoms. Forested swamps do not receive direct flow from river
flooding except under exceptional circumstances. Forested swamps occur in depressions,
sloughs and large bottomlands, typically dominated by tree species such as swamp
cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and swamp white
oak (Quercus bicolor). In northern Indiana important tree species include black ash
(Fraxinus nigra), yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), and red maple (Acer rubrum). Poorly
to very poorly drained and aerated soils characterize the swamp environment. Soils usually
are mineral not muck or peat. This community type is found throughout Indiana.
• Marl beach: Marl beach is a fen-like community located on the marly muck shorelines of
lakes. Marl precipitate is evident. A thin layer of water is present in spring, but dries down
in summer. Draw-down of a lake creates additional area for this community to develop on.
Marl beaches can be found in extreme northern Indiana, primarily in the northeast.
• Muck flat: Muck flat is a shoreline and lake community possessing a unique flora of sedges
and annual plants, many of which are also found on the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains.
This community is found at the margins of lakes or covering shallow basins. This
community has a peat substrate. The muck flats can float on the water surface, but during
high water periods are usually inundated. The water level of a basin fluctuates during a
season or from year to year in response to the amount of precipitation. This exposes bare
substrate needed for germination by species of the community. Muck flats are found in
northern Indiana.
• Panne: Panne is a groundwater fed herbaceous wetland occupying interdunal swales near
Lake Michigan. Pannes are located on the lee side of the first or second line of dunes from
the lakeshore. The soil is wet, calcareous sand. Pannes are located in counties bordering
Lake Michigan.
• Sand flat: Sand flat is a shoreline and lake community possessing a unique flora of sedges
and annual plants, many of which are also found on the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains.
This community is found at the margins of lakes or covering shallow basins. This
community has a sand substrate. During high water periods sand flats at the margins of
lakes or ponds are inundated. The water level of a basin fluctuates during a season or from
year to year in response to the amount of precipitation. This exposes bare substrate
needed for germination by species of the community. Sand flats occur in northern Indiana,
and in the Plainville Sand Section of southwest Indiana.
• Sedge meadow: Sedge meadow is an herbaceous wetland typically dominated by
graminoid species such as flat sedge (Cyperus spp.), spike rush (Eleocharis spp.), rushes
(Juncus spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.). Sedge meadow is an herbaceous wetland of
stream margins and river floodplains, and lake margins or upland depressions. Streamside
sedge meadows are frequently flooded in the spring and early summer. Sedge meadows of
lake margins and depressions often contain standing water during wet months and after
heavy rains; during dry periods, the water level is at or just below the substrate. Sedge
meadow usually occupies the ground between a marsh and the uplands, or a shrub swamp
or wet forest. Periodic high water can kill trees and shrubs invading sedge meadows.
Sedge meadows can be found in the northern half of the state.
• Shrub swamp: Shrub swamp is a shrub-dominated wetland that is seasonally inundated to
intermittently exposed. This community occurs in depressions and the substrate in either
mineral soils or muck, as opposed to peat which is characteristic of bogs. Shrub swamp is
characterized by non-flowing or very slowly flowing water with levels that fluctuate
seasonally. Shrub swamps are persistent, though considered successional. Two
opportunistic native shrubs, sandbar willow (Salix exigua) and gray dogwood (Cornus
racemosa), by themselves, are not indicative of shrub swamps. This community type is
found throughout Indiana.
• Sinkhole pond: Sinkhole ponds are water-containing depressions in karst topography.
Sinkhole ponds are found in the Mitchell Karst Plain in south-central Indiana.
• Sinkhole swamp: Sinkhole swamps are depressions in karst topography dominated by
tree or shrub species. Sinkhole swamps are found in the Mitchell Karst Plain in southcentral
Indiana.
• Wet floodplain forest: Wet floodplain forest is a broadleaf deciduous forest of river
floodplains. Wet floodplain forests occur in depressions and flats on narrow to wide
floodplains and also on recently exposed substrates that are frequently flooded. Wet
floodplain forests are frequently flooded and may have standing water seasonally to
permanently present. Wet floodplain forests occur statewide.
• Wet prairie: Wet prairie is an herbaceous wetland typically dominated by graminoid
species such as prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), bluejoint (Calamagrostis
canadensis), and sedges (Carex spp.). Vegetation height is often 2-3 m. The species
diversity of wet prairies is lower than that of mesic prairies. Wet prairies occur in deep
swales and the substrate ranges from very deep black mineral soils (which are high in
organic matter) to muck. Ponding in spring lasts for several weeks prior to drainage. Wet
prairies commonly occur in the Grand Prairie Natural Region, the Tipton Till Plain and the
Bluffton Till Plain, with a few examples found in the Northern Lakes Natural Region.
• Wet sand prairie: Wet sand prairie is an herbaceous wetland typically dominated by
graminoid species such as prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), bluejoint (Calamagrostis
canadensis), and sedges (Carex spp.). Vegetation height is often 2-3 m. The species
diversity of wet prairies is lower than that of mesic prairies. Wet lowland prairies occur in
deep swales and the substrate is sand, sometimes mixed with muck. Flooding is a regular
springtime occurrence in wet sand prairie and may last several weeks. This community
occurs in a mosaic with marsh and other wetlands, and with upland prairies and sand
savannas. Fire was frequent occurrence, but more common in the fall when waters had
receded. This community occurs in northwest Indiana and in the Plainsville Sands area.
Attachment 3: 40 CFR 121.7 Citation and Justification
NWP Denial Citation and Justification
It is the judgment of the Office of Water Quality that the proposed Nationwide Permits
16, 17, 20, 23, 31, 32, 34, 35, 38, 41, 53, 54, and 59 may violate Indiana Code (IC) 13-
18-4-5 and the water quality standards (WQS) set forth at 327 Indiana Administrative
Code (IAC) 2-1-6(a)1, and 327 IAC 2-1.3-3.
1. Indiana Code 13-18-4-5 states in part:
A person may not:
(1) throw, run, drain or otherwise dispose into any of the
streams or waters of Indiana;
or
(2) cause, permit, or suffer to be thrown, run, drained, allowed to
seep, or otherwise disposed into any waters; any organic or
inorganic matter that causes or contributes to a polluted
condition of any waters, as determined by a rule of the board
adopted under Sections 1 and 3 of this chapter.
2. 327 Indiana Administrative Code 2-1-6(a)1 states in part:
All waters at all times and at all places meet the minimum conditions of
being free from substances, materials, and discharges that form
objectionable deposits, are unsightly or deleterious, and are toxic to plant,
animal or aquatic life.
3. 327 Indiana Administrative Code 2-1.3-3 states in part:
For all surface waters of the state, existing uses and the level of water
quality necessary to protect existing uses shall be maintained and
protected.
Because the discharges associated with the activities specified in NWPs 16, 17, 20, 31,
34, 35, 38, 53, and 59 may, even as conditioned, violate Indiana’s WQS, projects
undertaking those activities will require a site-specific Section 401 Water Quality
Certification to ensure compliance with the water quality requirements found in 327 IAC
2.
The discharges associated with the activities specified in NWPs 23 and 32 are
undefined and therefore require a site-specific Section 401 Water Quality Certification to
ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
The discharges associated with activities specified in NWP 41 have no maximum
limitation, no notification requirement, and would authorize activities that would alter the
flow path, velocity, and cross-sectional area under the ordinary high water mark.
Activities authorized by this NWP would not comply with Indiana’s General Condition 9
and therefore require an Individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification to ensure
compliance with 327 IAC 2.
The discharges associated with activities specified in NWP 54 would not comply with
Indiana’s General Condition 21 and would require an Individual Section 401 Water
Quality Certification to ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
General Condition (GC) Citation and Justification
To ensure projects completed under the Indiana certified NWPs comply with
Indiana’s WQS, the Indiana general conditions are required.
GC (1) For certain NWPs, IDEM has placed a notification requirement to ensure the
discharges associated with the activities specified in those NWPs comply with
327 IAC 2. To appropriately evaluate impacts to water quality, including
cumulative impacts, Indiana needs to be notified.
GC (2) Several NWPs authorize minor dredging. This condition requiring the deposit
of any dredged material in a contained upland disposal area to prevent
sediment run-off to any waterbody is necessary to ensure the discharges
associated with the disposal of the dredged material complies with 327 IAC 2.
GC (3) Per 40 CFR 122.26 and 327 IAC 15, the use of appropriate stormwater control
measures and maintenance thereof will prevent any sediment laden water from
migrating off site and entering waterways and wetlands, potentially impairing
water quality.
GC (4) Per IC 13-14-4-2, the department may inspect public or private property to
inspect for and investigate possible violations of environmental management
laws. Additionally, 40 CFR 121.11 allows the certifying authority the right to
inspect a facility or activity prior to initial operation of a certified project.
GC (5) This condition is necessary to ensure a projects permanent and secondary
impacts fall within the designated minimal impact thresholds specified in GC 13
and GC 14. This condition is necessary to ensure authorized project comply
with 327 IAC 2.
GC (6) This condition is necessary to ensure projects are implemented in accordance
with this Section 401 Water Quality Certification and only projects described in
the notification are authorized. This ensures compliance with 327 IAC 2 and
327 IAC 5-2-8.
GC (7) This condition is necessary to ensure only clean fill materials are proposed for
discharge to ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2. Discharges of pollutants may
require separate authorization under Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water
Act.
GC (8) This condition is necessary to ensure mitigation banking projects go through
the procedures found in 33 CFR 332 and IDEM has the opportunity to
appropriately review and condition any proposed mitigation bank to ensure it
complies with 327 IAC 2.
GC (9) Projects that will permanently change the sinuosity, flow path, velocity, crosssectional
area or the slope of a stream have more than a minimal impact.
These activities can change the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of
waters by impacting aquatic life movement, sediment transport, and changing
the thalweg of a stream. These activities do not comply with 327 IAC 2.
GC (10) Salmond streams are designated for special protection by 327 IAC 2-1.5-
5(a)(3). Only those activities identified in GC (10) are authorized by this WQC.
Compliance with these activities, conditions and work restrictions will ensure
the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the salmonid waters are
maintained and protected in compliance with 327 IAC 2.
GC (11) These waters are designated as Outstanding State Resource Waters by 327
IAC 2-1-11(b), 327 IAC 2-1.3-3(d), and 327 IAC 2-1.5-19(b). Individual Section
401 Water Quality Certifications are required for these waters to ensure there is
no degradation and their water quality is protected and maintained in
accordance with 327 IAC 2-1-1.5 and 327 IAC 2-1.5-3.
GC (12) These wetlands and special aquatic sites are synonymous with Rare and
Ecologically important wetland types under 327 IAC 17-1-2(3)(B). Individual
Section 401 Water Quality Certifications are required for impacts to these
waters to ensure there is no degradation and their water quality is protected
and maintained in accordance with 327 IAC 2-1-1.5 and 327 IAC 2-1.5-3.
GC (13) To ensure projects comply with the water quality standards found at 327 IAC 2,
IDEM has established 0.10 acre as the minimal impact threshold for the state of
Indiana. To ensure consistency with the policy established in 327 IAC 17-2-
2(b), this is the threshold for which minimal impact projects are eligible for
general permit authorizations. To allow more projects to fit under the NWPs,
IDEM has increased this threshold to 0.25 acre if compensatory mitigation is
conducted in accordance with GC 15. Compensatory mitigation ensures there
is no permanent degradation to water quality in compliance with 327 IAC 2.
GC (14) To ensure projects comply with the water quality standards found at 327 IAC 2,
IDEM has established 300 linear feet as the minimal impact threshold for
streams in the state of Indiana. To allow more projects to fit under the NWPs,
IDEM has increased this threshold to 500 linear feet if compensatory mitigation
is conducted in accordance with GC 16. Compensatory mitigation ensures
there is no permanent degradation to water quality in compliance with 327 IAC
2.
GC (15) 327 IAC 2-1.3-3 establishes anti-degradation standards for all waters of the
State to include waters of the U.S. Proposed activities that exceed the minimal
impact thresholds identified in GC 13 require compensatory mitigation to
ensure there is no permanent degradation. IDEM is authorizing the use of
mitigation banks and the Indiana Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program since
the use of the NWPs does not allow for the placement of specific conditions on
a permittee responsible mitigation proposal. IDEM is requiring proof of
purchase and establishing a timeframe for submittal which is consistent with
current Corps and IDEM procedures. To ensure aquatic resource functions
and values are replaced, the compensatory mitigation ratios and service area
requirements are based in part on the requirements found in IC 13-18-22 and
33 CFR 332.
GC (16) 327 IAC 2-1.3-3 establishes anti-degradation standards for all waters of the
State to include waters of the U.S. Proposed activities that exceed the minimal
impact thresholds identified in GC 14 require compensatory mitigation to
ensure there is no permanent degradation. IDEM is authorizing the use of
mitigation banks and the Indiana Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program since
the use of the NWPs does not allow for the placement of specific conditions on
a permittee responsible mitigation proposal. IDEM is requiring proof of
purchase and establishing a timeframe for submittal which is consistent with
current Corps and IDEM procedures. To ensure aquatic resource functions
and values are replaced, the compensatory mitigation ratios and service area
requirements are based in part on the requirements found in IC 13-18-22, 327
IAC 2 and 33 CFR 332.
GC (17) The goal of 327 IAC 2 is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and
biological integrity of waters of the state. This condition is required to ensure
there are no state rare, threatened, or endangered water dependent species
impacts authorized by the NWPs.
GC (18) This a clarification condition to allow the use of multiple NWPs if they do not
exceed specific impact thresholds. This condition is necessary to ensure
compliance with 327 IAC 2.
GC (19) This is a necessary condition to ensure an applicant submitted all required
information with the notification required by GC 1. Without all necessary
information, IDEM cannot determine if a project complies with 327 IAC 2.
GC (20) Certain NWPs allow for temporary impacts. If these activities are poorly
implemented, they result in discharges that would affect water quality. This
condition is necessary to ensure projects comply with 327 IAC 2 and 327 IAC
15.
GC (21) Certain NWPs allow for the discharge of riprap or other bank stabilization
material. This condition is necessary to ensure authorized activities do not
interfere with sediment transport, create aquatic life barriers, or interfere with
movement between aquatic and upland habitats and ensure compliance with
327 IAC 2.
GC (22) Several NWPs allow temporary impacts. Since these activities exceed the
minimal impact threshold specified in GC 13, IDEM is requiring notification to
ensure they are properly restored. This will ensure compliance 327 IAC 2.
GC (23) Several NWPs allow temporary impacts. This condition is necessary to ensure
those temporary impacts are restored so there is no degradation and the
project complies with 327 IAC 2.
GC (24) This condition is necessary to ensure only projects that have a minimal impact
to water quality and comply with 327 IAC 2 are authorized by the NWPs.
Nationwide Permit #3 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters.
Maintenance activities such as the replacement of stream encapsulations and the
installation of thermal plastic liners or other liner types can interfere with or become
injurious to aquatic life movements. These activities can change the physical integrity of
a stream channel and interfere with movement between aquatic environments and
upland habitat. The Specific Conditions for NWP #3 will ensure authorized projects will
comply with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #7 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justifications above for references to General Conditions. The
activities authorized by NWP #7 can interfere with or become injuries to aquatic life
movements. These activities can change the physical integrity of a stream channel and
interfere with movement between aquatic environments and upland habitat. The
Specific Conditions for NWP #7 will ensure authorized projects will comply with 327 IAC
2.
Nationwide Permit # 13 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. These
conditions are necessary to ensure bank stabilization activities do not interfere with
sediment transport, aquatic life movements, or movement between aquatic
environments and upland habitat. Some of the condition language is directly from the
September 15, 2020, Federal Register Notice Proposal to Reissue and Modify
Nationwide Permits and the Indiana Regional General Permit (LRL-2018-00988).
These conditions are necessary to ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #14 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions.
Activities authorized by NWP #14 can impact aquatic life movement and sediment
transport. If structures or fills are not properly installed, they can cause erosion and
scour within stream channels which alters the physical integrity of the streams. The
sumping conditions were developed by IDEM and the Indiana Department of
Transportation and are part of their standards and specifications. The conditions for
perennial streams greater than 12 feet were designed by the Federal Highway
Administration to ensure aquatic organism passage is considered during culvert
installations. These conditions ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #15 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions.
Activities authorized by NWP #15 can interfere with sediment transport and aquatic life
movement. These conditions ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.

Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. The
0.10 acre limit is to ensure authorized activities meet the minimal impact threshold
IDEM has placed on the NWPs. See the citation/justification for GC 13 for minimal
impacts. These conditions ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #25 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. These
conditions are necessary to ensure the authorized activities are located outside the low
flow channel to avoid impacts to sediment transport, aquatic life movements, and the
physical degradation of the channel. The disposal requirements are necessary to
ensure excavation and dewatering activities are conducted in a manner that does not
result in a discharge where a numeric water quality standard exists. These conditions
ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #27 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. The
specified conditions for NWP #27 are necessary to ensure there is no permanent
degradation to the existing beneficial uses of waters of the State. The impact
thresholds are to ensure only minimal impact projects are authorized. The release of
sediment from a reservoir is not authorized by this WQC. The release may result in
discharges that have numeric limits within 327 IAC 2. Additionally, the sediment may
result in harmful and objectionable depositions to aquatic life. Due to the complexity
and numerous types of activities authorized by this NWP, notification for activities that
install or remove water control structures, dikes, berms, or accumulated sediment is
required to verify compliance with 327 IAC 2. These conditions ensure compliance with
327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #33 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. These
conditions are necessary to ensure all temporary impacts are installed in a manner that
does not impede flow, sediment transport, aquatic life movement or can be eroded and
redeposited in a manner that becomes injuries to aquatic life. A restoration plan is
required to ensure all areas are restored so there is no degradation. These conditions
ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #36 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. Please
refer to the citations and justification above for references to General Conditions. Some
of the condition language is directly from the September 15, 2020, Federal Register
Notice Proposal to Reissue and Modify Nationwide Permits and the Indiana Regional
General Permit (LRL-2018-00988). These conditions are necessary to ensure
activities authorized by NWP #36 comply with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #37 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. This
condition is necessary to ensure IDEM has participated in the development of the
project and has signed the agreement to ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
Nationwide Permit #46 Citation and Justification
Per 327 IAC 2-1-1.5, the goal of Indiana’s water quality standards is to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the state’s waters. These
activities can change the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of waters by
impacting aquatic life movement, sediment transport, and changing the thalweg of a
stream. This condition is necessary to ensure compliance with 327 IAC 2.
