Introduction to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act Mar 29, 2012 from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM — Online, webex,
Please join us for this introductory-level training about the Clean Water Act's wetland and stream alteration permit program. If you are concerned about development and other alteration activities affecting wetlands, streams or lakes in your area, you need to be familiar with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which regulates dredging and filling of wetlands and streams. This webinar will cover when a 404 permit is required, what the permit requires, and how you can influence the permitting process. We will also briefly cover the state's role in 404 permitting (401 water quality certification) and how you can engage in that process. Resources for learning more about the Act's 404 program and Ohio's related programs will also be provided.
