Happy New Year!!!!!! Yes, it is actually February, but it is a new year for this blog as we turn our attention to a world full of flood risk reduction actions in the second year of the Trump Administration. We are hearing that on February 6 the Corps will be releasing draft guidance for 33 USC section 408 permissions that will seek public comment for a new policy to be adopted this spring or summer.
Whether that date is correct or not, we can tell you that the Corps has scheduled two webinars to discuss the proposed changes. Here is the information on those two sessions:
