Title: Water Transfers Rule 
Abstract: This rulemaking addressed the question of whether the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program under section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is applicable to water control facilities that merely convey or connect navigable waters. For purposes of this action, the term "water transfer" refers to any activity that conveys or connects navigable waters (as that term is defined in the CWA) without subjecting the water to intervening industrial, municipal, or commercial use. This rulemaking focused exclusively on water transfers and is not relevant to whether any other activity is subject to the CWA permitting requirement.
