This application type is a combined process for Waterways & Water Quality Certifications, including for fill and/or structures for water-dependent use; and/or dredging projects which must obtain federal licenses and which would result in a discharge to state waters; and/or for projects that propose some fill in a wetland area.
If any component of the project is Nonwater-Dependent or if there are unauthorized Nonwater-Dependent fill/structures at the project site, please contact the Department before initiating the application process.
A consultant or other representative may submit the application without the applicant having created an account or signed an authorization. After the initial submittal, Department staff will conduct a preliminary review of the application and send a “Proof of Signature” document that is required to be signed by all applicants (Permittees) and property owners.
