DARTER is EPA's system to manage its workflow in the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit program. Section 404 requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or EPA-approved State, for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. EPA plays a number of roles in the Section 404 permit program including developing and interpreting policy, guidance and environmental criteria used in evaluating permit applications, determining the scope of geographic jurisdiction and reviewing and commenting on proposed Section 404 permits. DARTER allows EPA staff to: Track agency involvement in pre-application coordination, review of public notices for proposed permits, review of third party mitigation projects and proposed jurisdictional determinations; Prepare and share EPA-generated jurisdictional determinations; and Access shared data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ national regulatory program data management system known as OMBIL Regulatory Module (ORM2). DARTER also allows for EPA tracking of 401(a)(2) requests for review. DARTER has also expanded to include tracking CWA section 402 permit process in a DARTER module called PRMTS which was released for use first in the fall of 2022.
