Lower Columbia River Channel Maintenance

The Department of Ecology (Ecology) has received a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) request for Lower Columbia River Channel Maintenance. Pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, applicants for a federal license or permit for activities which may discharge to waters of the United States must seek WQC from the state with jurisdiction.


Under Section 401 of the CWA, federal agencies cannot issue a license or permit before Ecology makes a decision on a WQC request or waives the right to review. Any conditions that are included in the WQC then become conditions of the federal permit or license. For information regarding Ecology's CWA Section 401 WQC, please visit Ecology's webpage.


Ecology is seeking comments from the public, state and local agencies, tribes, and other interested parties regarding the proposed activity. Please note that this comment form is for the purpose of submitting a comment to the Washington State Department of Ecology. Contact information is necessary if you want to receive future notices related to this topic.
