Wetlands General Permit​

As of April 30, 2021, the Municipality of Anchorage no longer issues General Permits on behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers for wetland fill projects in “C” wetlands. The Corps of Engineers did not reauthorize the Anchorage General Permits. 


The Municipality does still have an obligation to permit wetlands as required by the adopted Anchorage Wetlands Management Plan.


All development projects located in wetlands throughout the Municipality must go to the Corps of Engineers for an authorization to place fill. Contact the Corps of Engineers: By Phone: (907) 753-2712 (ask for an Anchorage area project manager) or through the Corps of Engineers Permitting website: https://www.poa.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Permitting-Section-Homepage/​.
