초록보기

Our Q&A report examines the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' process for expediting the review of permits affecting wetlands, streams, and aquatic resources.

The Corps had made 23 agreements with public utilities, gas companies, and railroad carriers to receive money in exchange for expediting its permit process as of July 2, 2024. It issued over 3,600 permits under these agreements.

Legally, the Corps must follow the same permitting process for all applications and ensure impartiality. Information about permits is posted on its website but it doesn't indicate which were issued under these agreements.

Our recommendations address this, and more.
