Changes to dredge permits shouldn't affect marinas

Article Abstract:

Changes in the Army Corps of Engineers nationwide permit programs should not be a source of concern for marina operators, according to Jim Frye, director of the NMMA's Marinas and Boating Access Dept. Frye said the new permit process is geared towards homebuilders and developers. John Studt, chief of the Corps of Engineers' regulatory branch, said the changes will benefit the nation's aquatic environment by increasing protection to critical resource waters and within the 100-year flood plain.
