The Jacksonville District administers the largest regulatory permitting program in the Corps, which provides protection for waters of the United States, including federal delineated wetlands and navigable waters.

The Corps is neither a proponent nor opponent of any proposed project. The Corps’ mission is to provide the regulated public with fair and reasonable decisions while providing protection of the Nation’s aquatic resources and navigation.
