The proponent must follow the ACOE 404(b)(1) Guidance to assure approval of their 401 Water Quality Certification application. The guidelines are as follows: a. Avoidance (Is the project the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative?) b. Minimization(Does the project minimize any adverse effects to the impacted wetlands?) C. Mitigation (Does the project mitigate to assure a no net loss of functional values?)
