A bibliography of selected literature on indirect impacts associated with Clean Water Act Section 404 permits

Abstract : This report summarizes a review of the scientific literature from the year 2000 to the present that characterizes indirect impacts associated with Clean Water Act Section 404 permits. Also of interest was literature from 2004 forward that addresses compensatory mitigation for impacts, particularly with respect to current policy. Literature containing derivations of the search terms "Clean Water Act," "404," "temporary fill," "redge and fill," "impact," "secondary impact," and "cumulative impact" in the title, keyword or abstract field(s) was selected. When these searches produced few results, the number of search terms was expanded. This series of searches returned in excess of 5,500 bibliographic records. Each record's abstract was then reviewed for relevance to the Corps of Engineer's 404 permitting program and assigned to at least one of 20 groups according to the focus of that particular study. A review for relevance and assignment to groups reduced the number of records to 1,252 (approximately 10% of which were assigned to more than one group).
