New in CGP

EPA recently issued a final modification to its 2022 CGP to expand the list of areas eligible for coverage to include construction projects in Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. This modification is necessary because EPA is the permitting authority in Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, and when the 2022 CGP was issued in January 2022, the permit did not specifically provide eligibility for all of these areas. The modified permit is now in effect in all EPA Regions. A summary of the final CGP modification can be found in the updated CGP Fact Sheet (pdf) (146.02 KB)
