A consultant can help the landowner meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), and/or similar state, local or tribal programs. If stumped on how to figure out who would be the best candidates with whom you might work on a wetlands permit application, use this guide to develop a list of questions to ask your local regulatory agency or town office before hiring a consultant. Questions include: "Does this consultant turn in complete permit applications the first time?" and "Is this consultant experienced with this particular agency?"
