Regulatory Overview

The mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Regulatory Program is to protect the Nation's aquatic resources while allowing reasonable development through fair, flexible and balanced permit decisions. USACE has been regulating activities in the nation's waters since 1890. The program was initially created solely to prevent obstructions to navigation. An early 20th century law gave USACE regulatory authority over the dumping of trash and sewage. The passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 greatly broadened this role by giving USACE authority over dredging and filling in the waters of the United States including many wetlands.

All electronic applications and requests must be sent to DenverRegulatoryMailbox@usace.army.mil 

To expedite your request, please include the following information in the body of the email:

  1. Project name
  2. Applicant/Requestor/Client Contact Information (Name, Address, Phone, Email)
  3. Latitude and Longitude (in decimal degrees) of the project area
  4. Location description (Address or Cross Streets, City, County, State)
  5. Type of Request (Jurisdictional Determination, Pre-application Meeting, Regional / Nationwide / Individual Permit, Letter of No Objection / No Permit Required Letter, etc.)
  6. Is this request related to any previous Army Corps reviews?  If so, please provide the Army Corps file number for that review (i.e., NWO-2000-00000).

Attach contents of requests to email:

  1. The preferred document file format is Adobe PDF (.pdf).  We will also accept Word documents in .docx format. The Aquatic Resource/Consolidated Upload Excel spreadsheet must be submitted in .xlsm spreadsheet format.
  2. Digital documents must have sufficient resolution to depict project details.  In order to have the highest quality documents, please convert original digital documents to PDF.  All forms that require signature must be digitally signed or signed manually, scanned and then transmitted electronically.
  3. If transmitting via email, include all information as email attachments, and avoid transmitting information in the body of the email.
  4. All documents (aquatic resource delineations, permit applications, endangered species biological assessment, historic properties reports, etc.) must be submitted as separate files. Do not combine all documents into one Adobe PDF or Word document file.
  5. Name files based on their content. Please do not use company project numbers or acronyms as the sole basis for the file name(s).
  6. Reduce file sizes to the maximum extent possible.

To facilitate sending large file sizes (greater than 10MB):

  1. Use .zip files as attachments. Combine multiple files into a .zip file to compress file size prior to adding as an email attachment.
  2. Send multiple emails. Label each email with same subject line and indicate number of emails. For example:
    • Smith Subdivision Application (1 of 2)
    • Smith Subdivision Application (2 of 2)
  3. For submittals greater than 10MB and less than 8GB, please use the DoD SAFE (Secure Access File Exchange) https://safe.apps.mil/ .  Please contact us at DenverRegulatoryMailbox@usace.army.mil for an access code.
