Assumable Waters Subcommittee: Members
Subcommittee members, like the parent NACEPT committee, serve as representatives from academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments. Members will lend insight to how the EPA can best clairfy the waters that a state or tribe may assume permitting responsibility for under an approved CWA 404 dredge and fill permit program.
On September 8, 2015, Administrator Gina McCarthy appointed the following people to serve on this subcommittee. David S. Evans and Barry Rabe, Ph.D have been appointed to serve as co-chairs. Each member is representing the organization for which they work unless otherwise notated.
