Nationwide permits are one type of general permit. In December 1996, the Corps issued 37
revised and two new nationwide permits. One of them, nationwide permit 26 (MWP 26), has
been very controversial. Before being reissued, it was criticized by environmentalists who
contended that it results in significant loss of wetlands. The Corps responded by greatly
reducing the scope of NWP 26, leading to criticism by industry groups who say it will now be
more burdensome for permit applicants and permitting agencies."
