U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Alaska District Regulatory Division
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that any person, company, tribe, or government agency planning to work in waters of the U.S. must obtain a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) before initiating any regulated activity. The CorpsCorps is the lead agency, in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), responsible for implementation of the 404 program in Alaska. Corps staff works with applicants to assist them in the permitting process. The Corps is responsible for issuing the public notice for applications for individual projects using the "Public Notice of Application for a Permit." See the links below for specific information on the permit application and issuance process.

USACE 2017 Nationwide Permit - 401 Certificate of Reasonable Assurance (PDF)
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act provides states with the legal authority to review an application or project that requires a federal license or permit (in this case a 404 permit) that might result in a discharge into a water of the U.S. The applicant must apply for and obtain a Certificate of Reasonable Assurance from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to conduct a regulated activity. By agreement between the Corps and DEC, the "Public Notice of Application for Permit" public noticed by the Corps for an individual permit serves as the DEC application for a Certificate of Reasonable Assurance. DEC reviews the project as described in the Corps project public notice; coordinates with other state and federal agencies and local governments; reviews any public comments; and either approves, approves with conditions, waives, or denies the project based on compliance with the Clean Water Act, state water quality standards, and other applicable state laws. DEC charges a fee to develop the Certificate of Reasonable Assurance. See the links below for specific information.
