SB 278 - Permit approval from the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers is required under Section 404 of the Federal Clean
Water Act for dredging and filling or other discharges to the
waters of the United States, including wetlands. This act
requires the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to issue or
deny water quality certification required under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act for Section 404 permits within 90 days of
issuance of the joint public notice. If the DNR fails to act
within that time, water quality certification shall be deemed
issued. Section 404 permit approval from the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers will still be required.
