River Commission Schedules Policy Meetings on Actual Riverboat

2025-20402 — Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”

The EPA and Army Corps are updating the rules that decide which waters are protected under the Clean Water Act, following a 2023 Supreme Court decision. This change helps everyone know exactly which waters are covered, making it easier to protect lakes, rivers, and wetlands while respecting state and tribal rights. People and businesses affected should share their thoughts by January 5, 2026, as this update could impact water projects and environmental protections.

2026-11786 — Danger Zone; Waters of Carr Creek and Whitehall Bay in the Vicinity of the Naval Support Activity Annapolis

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is setting up three new danger zones in Carr Creek and Whitehall Bay near the Naval Support Activity Annapolis to keep everyone safe during Naval Academy firing range training.

The new rules kick in 30 days after being published, with no extra costs for the public.

2026-08591 — Proposals by Non-Federal Interests for Inclusion in the Annual Report to Congress on Future Water Resources Development

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is asking communities and groups outside the federal government to send in ideas for new water projects or changes to existing ones by September 1, 2026. These proposals could lead to new studies or updates to water resources projects that help with things like flood control and environmental protection. This is a chance to get Congress’s attention and possibly secure funding for future water improvements.

2026-08463 — Notice of Study Termination and Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Collier County Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study, Collier County, Florida

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is stopping the Collier County Coastal Storm Risk Management study in Florida because they don’t have enough federal money to finish it. This means they won’t be making an Environmental Impact Statement as planned, so local communities and officials won’t see new storm protection plans anytime soon. The decision was made official on May 1, 2026.

About 2,110 folks follow these rules, spending around 25.8 hours and $3,430 each year to comply. The SEC wants to make sure the rules still make sense and aren’t too much work for everyone involved.
