Wild Utah Project and Trout Unlimited are excited to host a two-part lunch-and-learn series, "Permitting Your Stream Restoration Projects In Utah."
Permitting low-tech, process-based stream restoration like beaver dam analogues requires permitting with the Utah Division of Water Rights and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These webinars are essential for Utah's practitioners to ensure your project's planning and permitting is efficient and stays on schedule. Regulatory specialists will teach why a permit is required and what information is needed to submit a complete permit application
