Federal FERC Integrated Licensing (7-FD-k)
Under section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), a federal agency may not issue a license authorizing the construction or operation of a project unless the appropriate state agency first issues a water quality certification for the project or waives certification by failing or refusing to act on a request for certification within a reasonable period of time. 33 USC 1341(a)(1). In order to allow the state agency sufficient time to analyze the impacts of the project on water quality and to meet the deadline for demonstrating compliance with section 401 of the CWA, the developer should request water quality certification from the appropriate state authority early on in the FERC licensing process.
