401 Water Quality Certifications for Restoration

Watch the recording!

401 Water Quality Certification is one part of the permitting process for projects that require in-water work. Restoration work often requires this kind of certification prior to construction. In-water work includes dam removals, stream relocations, and placing materials in streams and/or wetlands. This webinar discusses when a 401 WQC is required, and why certification is important in Oregon. We will discuss steps to certification, including fees and land use requirements.

Presented by Sara Christensen, the statewide 401 water quality certification coordinator for the Oregon DEQ.
