Why do our clients need to know about wetlands? Because whether you want to develop land or conserve it, the provisions of the Clean Water Act require consulting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before wetlands are affected in any way. For over 20 years, the ABR wetlands team has been working to provide our clients with relevant information for obtaining Section 404 wetland permits under the Clean Water Act. By keeping informed of the changing regulatory requirements, we have been able to assist with the permitting process and mitigation planning for individual development projects.
