What You Need to Know About Section 404 Permits

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates impacts to wetlands, and can represent a significant part of a project's development; are you ready?

Any proposed project involving wetlands or other waters of the United States is likely to require some type of permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As the federal agency responsible for regulating impacts to wetlands, the Corps' regulations and the permit process can represent a significant part of a project's development. The identification of wetlands or other waters on a project site, determination of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act and ultimately the need for any permits can influence project design, schedule and cost. In today's atmosphere of changing regulatory practices, particularly with respect to the determination of federal jurisdiction, it is critical to understand how the Corps administers its regulatory programs. This live webinar will help you understand how the federal wetlands program works, introducing you to the field or filling in the gaps if you are already working in the industry.
