Fort Worth Jurisdictional Determinations

If you’re seeking a section 401 or 404 permit, which is necessary to release any backfill such as sand or rock back into U.S. waters, then one of the first steps in this process is to secure Fort Worth jurisdictional determinations. We have experience securing these here at Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE) Partners and can help you navigate this process.

Securing jurisdictional determinations in Fort Worth TX, as you might know, is the initial step to securing section 401 or 404 permits. It involves the assessment of wetlands, streams and aquatic features that are located within the project’s boundaries to see if it qualifies as waters of the U.S. (WOTUS).

Why Are Fort Worth Jurisdictional Determinations So Important?

There are both jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional waters. The former might include wetlands, lakes, tributaries, territorial seas and lakes. The latter may include ditches, swales, waste treatment systems and artificial bodies of water. It’s imperative that the specialist that you hire is thoroughly familiar with rendering jurisdictional determinations in Fort Worth TX, including whether the body of water that you’re looking to put your backfill into is appropriate. You may sink exorbitant amounts of money into securing permits only to end up having to abandon the project.
