*Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit
Permit is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material
into navigable waters at specified disposal sites.
**Corps of Engineers Section 10 Permit
Permit is required for construction of any structure in or over any
navigable water of the United States.
***Ohio EPA 401 Permit
Permit is required for water quality certifications that are
required by the Corps of Engineers (Clean Water Act) and for the
isolated wetland permits that are required by State law.
^ An existing structure must comply with the flood protection
standards if it is substantially improved (an improvement equal
to or greater than 50% of the market value of the structure).
FEMA maintains that the "substantial improvement" definition
applies to existing structures only and that once a structure
meets the definition of "new construction" any further improvements
to that structure must meet "new construction" requirements. For
floodplain management purposes "new construction" means
structures for which "start of construction" began on or after the
effective date of the initial Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued by
FEMA for Muskingum County June 3, 1988.
