§401 Water Quality Certification - Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet
§401 Water Quality Certification
The §401 Water Quality Certification Program of the Division of Water is the Commonwealth’s review and authorization of selected federal licenses and permits. Any person, firm, or agency (including federal, state, and local government agencies) planning to work in jurisdictional waters of the United States, or dump or place dredged or fill material in waters of the United States should contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) office in your area and the Division of Water, Water Quality Certification Section to obtain a permit.
Examples of federal licenses and permits subject to §401 Water Quality Certification include Clean Water Act §404 permits for discharge of dredged or fill material issued by the USACE, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hydropower licenses, and Rivers and Harbors Act §9 and §10 permits for activities that have a potential discharge in navigable waters issued by the USACE.
A §401 Water Quality Certification from the Commonwealth of Kentucky affirms that the discharge will not violate Kentucky's water quality standards.
