General Permits are a form of Department of Army authorization that are issued for structures, work, or discharges that will result in only minimal individual and cumulative adverse effects. This Programmatic General Permit was first issued by the USACE on November 2, 1987. It authorized activities that had minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment that fall under the USACE's Regulatory Program and that had also been authorized through a Utah Stream Alteration Permit. After 1987, PGP 10 has been reissued every five years. Activities authorized under this PGP 10 include, but are not limited to, culvert installation and extension, bridges, low water crossings, utility crossings, bank stabilization, linear transportation projects, diversion structures, outfall structures, boat ramps, docks, commercial and residential construction, flood control facilities, and maintenance of previously permitted activities. The USACE Proposes to reauthorize the PGP with some modifications including reduction in level of impact authorized and the inclusion of four (4) additional conditions.
