Section 404 & Other Wetland Permits

The Corps of Engineers issues Section 404 permits for all fills into “waters of the U.S.”, a term which includes wetlands. Zentner and Zentner has more than a decade of experience in all phases of 404 work, from defining Corps jurisdiction, to preparing permit applications (the Corps has over 30 different permits depending on the type of project), to obtaining the final approval. We also complete Section 401 water quality certifications, State Fish and Game Section 1600 streambed alteration agreements, and other wetland-related permits. This experience allows us to anticipate both the permit requirements and likelihood of success.

Recent Projects

For Sacramento County, we secured a Section 404 permit for the Lower Laguna Flood Control Project, involving 1200 acres of wetlands and uplands.

For DUC Housing Partners, we secured a Section 404 permit and Section 401 certification for the Mt. Eden Shores Business Park. This included the first approval by the RWQCB of an industrial park BMP program under their new rules.
