Big Muddy Speaker Series presents:

Most people understand the role that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has in building dams and managing our navigable rivers, but less well known is the regulatory role that the Corps plays in issuing permits for development and infrastructure projects that involve rivers, streams and wetlands.

Kansas City District Regulatory Project Manager Justin Hughes will join us to explain this regulatory role. Sand and gravel dredging, permitted outfalls, wetland draining, bank stabilization and many more activities are regulated by this important division of the Corps. Many of these are related to implementation of the Clean Water Act.
