Due to the tremendous increase in plan/permit applications we will no longer be accepting piecemeal plan revisions.  All revisions must be submitted as part of a complete application package unless specifically otherwise agreed and allowed by the reviewer.  Piecemeal applications will no longer be accepted and could lead to the project being withdrawn if the complete set is not submitted by the due date.

Also, please note that any changes to the NOI throughout the approval process must be either re-notarized with the applicant’s signature or initialed by the designer who is listed as the contact on the certification page of the NOI (page 11).  Please be sure that the NOI is separate from bound narratives as they must be taken out and sent to DEP separately and not as part of a bound narrative.

The Department of Environmental Protection is now accepting Growing Greener applications for watershed protection and abandoned mine drainage projects.
