Single and complete project

The term "single and complete project" is defined at 33 CFR 330.2(i) as the total project proposed or accomplished by one owner/developer or partnership or other association of owners/developers. For linear projects, the "single and complete project" (i.e., a single and complete crossing) will apply to each crossing of a separate water of the U.S. (i.e., a single water body) at that location. An exception is for linear projects crossing a single water body several times at separate and distant locations: each crossing is considered a single and complete project. However, individual channels in a braided stream or river, or individual arms of a large, irregularly shaped wetland or lake, are not separate water bodies.
