WHEREAS the United States Army Corps of Engineers
has previously been charged with responsibility for controlling
dredge and fill operations in "navigable waters" in the United
States, and
WHEREAS the Federal Register of May 6, 1975, contains
proposed regulations which would greatly expand the federal
government's authority over dredge and fill permits to include
practically all lakes, streams, rivers and tidal wetlands in
the United States which would drastically increase said federal
authority, and
WHEREAS, the United States Army Corps of Engineers
has issued proposed revised regulations which would extend
their authority to regulate disposal of all dredged or filled
material in virtually every wetland adjacent to coastal waters,
rivers, estuaries, lakes, streams and artificial waters regard-
less of whether these wetlands are regularly or only periodi-
cally covered by salt water, brackish water or fresh water
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the New Hanover
County Board of Commissioners does protest the encroachment of
Corps of Engineers' permit-letting authority into areas of
activity previously regulated by competent State and Local
governments in the United States, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the United States Army
Corps of Engineers be restricted to its current role of permit-
letting authority in matters involving navigable waters of the
United States

Board of Commissioners meeting in special session on June 9,
