A Section 408 permission is required for alterations proposed within the lands and real property interests acquired for the USACE project. Maintenance and repair activities conducted by non-federal sponsors on the USACE project for which they have O&M responsibilities do not require Section 408 permission, but may require coordination or concurrence from the USACE district.
