Section 401 Water Quality Certification

The USACE and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) have prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA)/ Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to address the potential environmental effects of the maintenance dredging of federal aquatic navigation channels in San Francisco Bay and the associated placement of dredged materials for dredging years 2025 to 2034. The USACE proposes to continue maintenance dredging of the federal navigation channels in San Francisco Bay to maintain the navigability of the channels. The Regional Water Board will consider USACE’s application for a Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification and waste discharge requirements for USACE’s continued maintenance dredging operations.

A comment period is established for this document, from October 31, 2024, to December 16, 2024. The Water Board will accept written comments on the Draft EA/EIR. Written comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on December 16, 2024, to be considered. Please send all comments to:
