2025 - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers encourages use of Regulatory Request
System for an improved permitting experience
Last year the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers introduced its new Regulatory Request System
(RRS), an online application portal that allows the public to submit permit
applications and other information when requesting permission to dredge, fill
or conduct activities in jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S.
RRS is
accessible at https://rrs.usace.army.mil/rrs.
RRS users can
submit individual permit applications, general permit pre-construction
notifications, jurisdictional determination requests, and other information
needed during the permit evaluation process using easy-to-follow online
submission forms. Applicants can also track the status of their requests using
a user-friendly dashboard.
RRS benefits
the applicant by eliminating the burden associated with the preparation and
mailing of paper applications. It also reduces some of the effort associated
with processing applications and data entry making the permitting process more
efficient. Click here to learn more about the benefits of RRS (RRS
Testimonial Video).

For further
details or to provide feedback about the RRS, please contact USACE at rrs@usace.army.mil.
Stay
tuned - NCAEP will be hosting USACE Lunch and Learn events in
Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington to explain the benefits, demonstrate how to
use the system, and answer questions about it.
