2 A typical day as a member of the Regulatory team across the Southwestern Division might consist of arriving at a District office as a legal instruments examiner, triaging projects coming through via the United States Postal Service and filing the administrative records appropriately.
Other regulators might start their day meeting in a rural location with applicants and consultants, wading waste-deep through a stream to confirm a jurisdictional determination of a wetland and checking databases to ensure that “federally complete date” is correct. In the spring of 2020 things changed with the pandemic to include mandatory telework, and more emphasis on digital communication. Like the daily activities for SWD Regulators, the program adapts to change.
