structures or work by private parties required by related Federal 

 dredging or other work or structures, may be considered in 

 planning for the Federal work and, to the maximum extent feasible, 

 authorized in coordination with the Federal work or structure. 



Authorization for dredging a channel, slip, or other such 



navigation project will authorize maintenance dredging, subject 

 to revalidation at regular intervals. 



Applications by riparian owners for structures for small boats 

 will be favored when consistent with navigation, in the absence of 

 an overriding public interest. 



Applications for aids to navigation are coordinated with the USCG. 



Applications for structures and artificial islands on the OCS are 

 evaluated solely for impact on navigation and national security; 

 total environmental impact is evaluated in the U.S. Department 

 of the Interior leasing process. 



Canals and similar artificial waterways require a permit if they 

 constitute a navigable water of the United States or if they are 

 connected to a navigable water of the United States in a way 

 that affects its course, condition or capacity.
