Promotes efficient review for modern infrastructure by amending the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
The Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today Act, or PERMIT Act, amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to redefine "navigable waters" by excluding certain features. These exclusions include ephemeral features that flow only in response to precipitation, prior converted cropland, groundwater, and any other features determined by the Administrator or the Secretary of the Army. This change aims to streamline the review process for infrastructure projects, potentially reducing regulatory burdens.
