401 Water Quality Certification

We assist clients in obtaining Section 401 Water Quality Certification for projects that require federal permits and have the potential to affect waters of the state. This process ensures that proposed activities comply with state water quality standards and is a critical step in the overall permitting timeline.

​

Our services include preparing and submitting complete 401 certification applications, coordinating with state agencies, and responding to technical questions or requests for additional information. We work closely with clients and project teams to clearly document proposed impacts, construction methods, and water quality protection measures. By managing the 401 certification process alongside federal permitting efforts, we help streamline approvals, reduce delays, and keep projects moving forward with regulatory confidence.
