32 C.F.R. § 650.69 State permits.
Title 32 - National Defense
(a) Cooperating with and providing information to State and regional authorities does not include making application for State permits of any kind nor obtaining a water quality certification from the State for any activity involving the discharge of a pollutant into navigable waters. Where information or data is to be provided a State authority on a prescribed registration form and authenticated, Army installation commanders will comply with all reasonable requests and forward same with a disclaimer that:
While Federal law does not require military installations to apply for State permits or obtain State water quality certifications, this installation is desirous of complying with the objectives of State and Federal pollution control programs. However, completion of this form is not to be construed as an application for permit. To the best of my knowledge, the information presented herein is correct. Under unusual circumstances, when the installation commander considers it prudent to respond contrary to the above guidance, request for waiver will be submitted through appropriate command channels to HQDA (DAEN-ZCE) WASH DC 20310. (b) In all cases, waiver request will include a legal opinion by the staff judge advocate of the installation concerned or of the next higher command having a staff judge advocate to insure legal sufficiency. Special attention should be given to questions involving registration of sources and compliance schedules to insure that the legal implications of such instruments are understood.
