The purpose of the 401 Water Quality Certification program is to ensure that federally permitted or licensed activities (such as 404 permits issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) will be conducted in a manner that will comply with applicable Utah discharge and water quality requirements in order to maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of waters affected by the project. Those seeking federal permits or licenses needing 401 Certification must apply separately to the Utah Division of Water Quality by completing the application below.
