“401 Water Quality Certifications for Restoration”
401 Water Quality Certification is one part of the permitting process for projects that require in-water work. Restoration work often requires this kind certification prior to construction. In-water work includes dam removals, stream relocations, and placing materials in streams and/or wetlands. This webinar will discuss 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.
About the presenter: Sara Christensen currently serves as the statewide 401 water quality certification coordinator for the Oregon DEQ. Prior to this, Sara worked for the Indiana State Department of Agriculture as the Water Quality Coordinator. As part of this position, Sara represented agriculture on the Invasive Species Council and the Water Quality Monitoring Council, and served on the National Gulf Hypoxia Taskforce for Indiana. Sara has also worked for Indiana’s 401 water quality certification program after spending time as a wetland consultant. Sara has a MS in Geology from Indiana University.
Previous webinar (July 18th):
“Your OWEB Grant from Start to Finish”
This webinar will provide participants with the know-how to take an idea all the way from project development, to successfully obtaining an OWEB grant, and managing the project through completion and monitoring. Content is geared toward project managers working within the Open Solicitation grant program, but the information is useful for anyone working with OWEB funding who wants to confidently and efficiently navigate the process. The webinar is broken into three components:
- To Boldly Go – taking a project from an idea to a reality
- I Need More Power! – a project becomes a grant
- Live Long & Prosper – wrapping up and monitoring a project
The webinar was presented by OWEB staff Katie Duzik and Sue Greer and was modeled after the three-session workshop recently presented at the CONNECT 2019 conference in Sunriver. Katie and Sue are Regional Program Representatives for OWEB’s North Coast and Mid-Columbia regions, respectively.
Accompanying Resources:
- Powerpoint: OWEB Grant from Start to Finish
- Oregon rules and statutes governing OWEB, including rules on grant eligibility
- OWEB Grant Eligibility Criteria (zipped folder)
