Nationwide Permits are the Corps’ streamlined 404/10 path for defined, limited activities — with terms and regional conditions.
Section 404 is the Corps dredge-and-fill permit. Section 401 is the state water-quality certification that federal permit needs.
How a Corps permit moves: pre-app, complete application, public notice if individual, review, and a written decision.
Picture a thriving neighborhood nestled along a picturesque river. It’s a testament to a harmonious
The Clean Water Act is the federal law behind 404 wetlands permits, 401 certifications, and NPDES stormwater permits.
The health of our planet is intricately linked to how we manage our precious water
Floods can strike any community when stormwaters overwhelm rivers and lakes, often with devastating impacts.
Water sustains life, drives economies, and shapes landscapes. But how do we ensure that it’s
