State and Tribal Assumption of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act

Pre-publication Notice: Codifying EPA's Adjudicatory Decision on Florida's Clean Water Act Section 404 Program Request

On January 14, 2021, EPA signed an action codifying the Agency’s approval of the State of Florida’s Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 program. This action follows the December 2020 notice announcing EPA's approval of Florida’s program.  Florida is the first state in more than 25 years to request and receive approval to administer a 404 program, joining Michigan and New Jersey as the only states in the country with such authority.
