Permits, FEMA floodplain surveys and Army Corps review may be required
Summary
Shields advised that any in‑stream work could trigger U.S. Army Corps permitting and that FEMA floodplain mapping may necessitate hydrology/hydraulic studies; he recommended budgeting those studies and consulting engineers in application materials.
Shields told the committee that stream or instream work can require permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and that FEMA floodplain mapping for the site makes a hydrology/hydraulic survey advisable. He said those studies are sometimes costly but are typical for H2Ohio projects that interact with regulated floodplains.
Shields also said ODNR watershed specialists review such projects and that coordination with EPA and SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) is common when state dollars are involved; SHPO review is intended to avoid disturbing cultural resources during excavation or earthwork.
