Environmental Permitting.
Federal. State. County. City. Environmental Permits? Done.
Our team have years of experience navigating the environmental permitting process.
Our team of experts are here to help you navigate the environmental permit process. We specialize in:
Federal Clean Water Act Section 404 Permits (also known as Pre-Construction Notifications or ‘JARPAs’). This permit is needed to authorize dredge or fill activities in Waters of the United States, including wetlands. Our permitting specialists have successfully obtained everything from Section 404 Nationwide Permits for small-scale construction projects all the way through Section 404 Individual Permits for very large scale projects. We excel at providing the detailed information that the United States Army Corps of Engineers requires to process these permits.
Washington State Clean Water Act Section 401 Permits (Water Quality Certification). Like Section 404 Permits, this permit is acquired in Washington State with a JARPA: a Joint Aquatic Resource Application. You’ll likely need this permit if your project could affect water quality. We know what the Department of Ecology need and we have the expertise to efficiently check the box for both Section 401 and Section 404 permitting in one fell swoop!
Washington State Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA). If your project is on or near state marine or fresh waters, you may need a Hydraulic Project Approval through the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. We are here to guide you through the Standard HPA process or the Streamlined Fish Habitat Enhancement Process (FHEP) if your project qualifies.
City/County Shoreline Permits. Whether your project needs a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, a Conditional Use Permit, or a Shoreline Variance, our team of experts are excited to share their expertise with you.
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklists. With our extensive experience in SEPA checklists, we bring a comprehensive understanding of all the environmental considerations covered in a checklist, spanning air, land, water, biological and human resources. We navigate the complexities of SEPA with precision, ensuring thorough assessments and leveraging our knowledge to streamline processes and capitalize on opportunities for efficient, effective outcomes.
