Project Permitting

Wetlands, streams, and wildlife habitat are regulated by a variety of federal, state, and local agencies. Raedeke Associates, Inc. regularly works with clients and agency staff to prepare the necessary permit applications and supporting critical areas documents for projects affecting wetlands, streams, and wildlife.

In Washington State, multiple federal and state regulatory agencies joined forces to create the Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) to be a single application form that can used to apply for more than one permit at a time. Local jurisdictions typically require project applicants to use permit application forms specifically tailored to the jurisdiction’s needs.
