# §323.1. General.


This regulation prescribes, in addition to the general policies of [33 CFR part 320](/cfr/33/part320.md) and procedures of [33 CFR part 325](/cfr/33/part325.md), those special policies, practices, and procedures to be followed by the Corps of Engineers in connection with the review of applications for DA permits to authorize the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) ([33 U.S.C. 1344](/usc/33/1344.md)) (hereinafter referred to as [section 404](/cfr/33/404.md)). (See [33 CFR 320.2(g)](/cfr/33/320.2.md?p=g).) Certain discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are also regulated under other authorities of the Department of the Army. These include dams and dikes in navigable waters of the United States pursuant to [section 9](/cfr/33/9.md) of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 ([33 U.S.C. 401](/usc/33/401.md); see [33 CFR part 321](/cfr/33/part321.md)) and certain structures or work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States pursuant to [section 10](/cfr/33/10.md) of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 ([33 U.S.C. 403](/usc/33/403.md); see [33 CFR part 322](/cfr/33/part322.md)). A DA permit will also be required under these additional authorities if they are applicable to activities involving discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. Applicants for DA permits under this part should refer to the other cited authorities and implementing regulations for these additional permit requirements to determine whether they also are applicable to their proposed activities.
