DISCLAIMER AND CREDITS - Authorities, regulations, etc., are difficult to present because they change fairly frequently, and contain nuances that often require interpretation. The printed and on-line guidance here should be supplemented with current information from Office of Counsel and other appropriate offices. This section has been reviewed for correctness as of January 2001. Appreciation goes to Headquarters staff Ellen M. Cummings for planning, Denise White for natural resources, Jack Chowning for regulatory, and Erika Hieber, Institute for Water Resources, for their comments and corrections.
