Bill overview
The Water Quality Certification Improvement Act of 2021 modifies the process by which states review federally permitted activities that could impact water quality. It shifts the focus to ensuring compliance with specific sections of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (specifically 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307), limiting state authority in the decision-making process. The bill also streamlines the notification process for certification requests and clarifies the criteria for granting or denying requests based solely on these sections.
