Water Quality Certifications

​

Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that any applicant for a Federal permit or license to conduct an activity, including, but not limited to, the construction or operation of facilities, which may result in a discharge to a navigable water shall provide certification from the State that the proposed discharge complies with the State’s water quality standards and requirements. Some common examples of federal actions which trigger a Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) include: (1) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) Section 404 permits; (2) Corps Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act; (3) Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licenses for hydroelectric projects; and (4) U.S. Coast Guard bridge permits.​​

On September 27, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the final 2023 Clean Water Act Section​ 401 Water Quality Certification Improvement Rule (Certification Rule); the 2023 Certification Rule became effective on November 27, 2023 and can be found here​. Please visit EPA's Section 401 Certification​ page for additional information on Section 401 Certification including fact sheets and background on the 2023 rulemaking process.

The Section 401 Certification Rule ​​requires​​​​ that a WQC Pre-Filing Meeting be requested at least 30 days prior to submitting a WQC request​​. Although MDE may elect to waive a for​mal meeting once requested, a Pre-Filing meeting can be a valuable step in ensuring a complete WQC request is submitted to Maryland for your project and to answer any questions you may have about the process. A formal WQC request cannot be filed until 30 days have passed since the submission of the Pre-Filing Me​eting request, unless the Pre-Filing Meeting requirement is waived. ​

To request a Pre-Filing Meeting, please complete a Pre-Filing meeting request form available from MDE’s website:

https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/Water/WetlandsandWaterways/Documents/PreFilingMtgRequest.pdf
In addition to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. § 121, Maryland has regulations governing the proce​ssing and issuance of WQCs (COMAR 26.08.02.10). Key elements of the Maryland WQC process addressed in the regulations include: the required contents of an application; discharges to outstanding natural resource waters; and public notice and public hearing requirements.

Water Quality Certification (WQC) Request Instructions

    The 401 WQC request to MDE must be mailed to (electronic submissions cannot be accepted):

      MDE/WATER AND SCIENCE ADMINISTRATION
      REGULATORY SERVICES SECTION - ATTN:  WQC
      MONTGOMERY PARK BUSINESS CENTER – STE 430
      1800 WASHINGTON BLVD
      BALTIMORE, MD 21230-1708

    Please include your project tracking number and MDE Agency Interest (AI) number, if known, on your request for a WQC.​

    It should remain practice that a certification request be submitted to the certifying authority and to the Federal licensing or permitting agency concurrently. When requesting a Section 401 WQC from Maryland, you should concurrently send a copy of the request to the federal licensing or permitting agency. (i.e. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project reviewer)

    Please see the key elements​​ (rev. June 2025) required to be submitted to MDE as part of your 401 WQC request.

    A WQC Public Notice Billing Form (PDF) is also required.

    Please be aware that the Joint Federal/State Application for the Alteration of any Floodplain, Waterway, Tidal or Nontidal Wetland in Maryland is not a request for WQC. A separate request for a WQC must be received by MDE per the instructions above.


​

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Authorizations and Maryland Water Quality Certifications


Under Section 401 of the CWA, you are required to request a WQC from MDE before the Corps may issue an individual permit (e.g., Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, Sections 9 and 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act) for any activity that may result in a discharge to waters of the United States. The Corps will notify you when your project qualifies as an individual permit and you need a WQC from Maryland. Conditional WQCs have been granted for projects qualifying for Corps General or Nationwide Permits in Maryland.


Maryland State Programmatic General Permit-6 (MDSPGP-6)

 


Nationwide Permits

 

Nationwide Permits (NWPs) are general permits issued on a nationwide basis to authorize minor activities with minimal evaluation time. NWPs have been established to reduce the regulatory reporting burden for specific activities that have no more than minimal impacts to the aquatic environment.

On September 15, 2020, the Corps published in the Federal Register its proposal to reissue the 52 existing NWPs with modification and issue five new permits.

Please note: Most NWPs have been suspended in Maryland since there are State Programmatic General Permits already in place (MDSPGP-6). To view the NWPs (including those applicable and suspended in Maryland) please visit one of these links:

Revised Water Quality Certification for the Conowingo Dam

MDE has completed its administrative review of the Clean Water Act, Section 401 WQC 17-WQC-02 issued to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation (formerly Exelon)) in 2018.​ On October 2, 2025 MDE issued with conditions a Revised WQC, 17-WQC-02(R1), to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC, certifying the Conowingo Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. P-405 in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.​ The Revised WQC, which is accompanied by a settlement agreement between Maryland, Constellation, Waterkeepers Chesapeake, and Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association, ensures that water quality standards will not be adversely impacted by the dam’s discharge and operations.  The revised WQC will be filed with F​ERC for the dam’s operating license to be renewed.​

The Revised WQC package is available here: 17-WQC-02(R1)_Conowingo Dam WQC with Attachments​

Please visit MDE’s Wetlands and Waterways Protection Program Conowingo Dam Project webpage​ for additional documents and project information.
