Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application
The JARPA is an application for people proposing work in or near wetlands or other waterbodies to describe the project and identify permits sought.
What this form is
The JARPA collects information about a proposed project, its location, the applicant and property owners, and potential impacts to wetlands and other waterbodies. Applicants describe the work, construction methods, impacts, mitigation, and applicable permits, and include supporting materials when called for. The form notes that not all cities and counties accept JARPA for local Shoreline permits, so applicants should confirm acceptance with the appropriate local government.
Who needs it
Applicants proposing work that may affect wetlands or other waterbodies can use the JARPA to provide project details and identify permits they are applying for.
