What is a Section 404 Permit used for?

Building in a floodplain
Regulating work and allowing dredging in identified wetlands areas
Installing septic tanks in rural areas
Constructing bridges over rivers

The correct answer is: Regulating work and allowing dredging in identified wetlands areas

A Section 404 Permit is used for activities that are regulated under the Clean Water Act, which includes dredging in wetlands areas. This means that options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve activities regulated under the Clean Water Act. Building in a floodplain may require a different type of permit, while installing septic tanks in rural areas and constructing bridges over rivers may not necessarily involve wetlands or bodies of water. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the purpose of a Section 404 Permit.
