2020 was rich with aquatic resource regulation updates, revisions, and curve balls—including critical changes to the Clean Water Act. These changes may affect whether your project is regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and how your application will be reviewed and processed by various federal and state agencies.

Watch as regulatory specialists and staff from the Corps and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for a regulatory permitting webinar on recent regulatory changes such as:

  • The Corps’ Navigable Waters Protection Rule
  • The Corps’ 2021 Nationwide Permit Program Updates
  • The Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification Rule

Our panel includes ICF Senior Regulatory Specialists Meris Guerrero and Lanika Cervantes, Antal Szijj with the Corps, and Eric Becker with the San Diego RWQCB. The panel provides an overview of pertinent regulatory updates and discuss regulatory compliance and how it could affect your projects.
