Staff are generally assigned to manage activity within a designated geographic area, usually based on the county.  There are also staff who specialize in transportation (NC DOT) projects, coordination with NC Division of Coastal Management (DCM) for coastal (CAMA) activities, and staff that assist with major projects. 

Our staff is required to be in the field for site assessments.  As such, please be aware that this requirement may result in a delay in obtaining an immediate response.

Reporting Suspected Violations:

Upon receipt of a report of a suspected violation, we will review the information provided to determine if the matter falls within the jurisdictional authority of our office and whether or not an investigation is warranted.  Corps enforcement actions generally fall into two categories:

 1)            A failure of a permittee to comply with the terms or conditions of a Department of the Army Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA). 

2)            A discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States without a Department of the Army Permit issued pursuant to CWA Section 404 and/or RHA Section 10. 

Please note that the Wilmington District does not provide updates or responses to reporting parties during ongoing investigations into potential violations of federal law.
