Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through its
Regulatory Program, regulates certain activities in waters of the
United States. Waters of the United States are defined under 33 CFR
part 328. In order for the Corps to determine the amount and extent of
waters of the United States at a site, aquatic resources must be
geographically delineated in accordance with established Regulatory
regulations, policy, and guidance. Non-tidal, non-wetland waters of the
United States must be delineated to the extent of the ordinary high
water mark (OHWM), which is defined at 33 CFR 328.3(7). The OHWM
defines the lateral extent of non-tidal aquatic features in the absence
of adjacent wetlands in the United States. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has drafted
the first national manual that provides and describes indicators and a
methodology which will help improve consistency in the identification
and delineation of the OHWM by (1) providing consistent definitions of
OHWM indicators; (2) outlining a clear, step-by-step process for
identifying the OHWM using a Weight-of-Evidence approach; and (3)
providing a datasheet for logging information at a site. Information
collected on OHWM datasheets help inform the lateral limits of the
Corps' jurisdiction in non-tidal, non-wetland aquatic resources (e.g.,
streams or rivers). This information can then be used to inform
jurisdictional determinations or permit evaluations. Applicants for
Corps permits are generally required to submit delineations of aquatic
resources as part of their permit application or in support of the
permit evaluation process. The OHWM form will provide applicants with a
tool to easily document and submit this information in a consistent
format.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: As required.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
