Bill overview
The Water Quality Certification Improvement Act of 2019 alters the process by which states review federal permits that could impact water quality. It shifts the focus to ensuring compliance with specific sections of the Clean Water Act (301, 302, 303, 306, and 307) when evaluating permit applications. The bill also changes how states notify the EPA of permit requests and how quickly they must provide additional information for review, aiming to streamline the certification process and emphasize adherence to established water quality standards.
