2023 Environmental Stewardship Award Winner
Congratulations to Lower Salford Township and Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy, recipients of the 2023 Environmental Stewardship Award through the Montgomery Awards program, for the Jacob Reiff Park Streambank Restoration project.
The Jacob Reiff Park Stream & Floodplain Restoration project receives a 2023 Environmental Stewardship Award for its extensive stream and floodplain restoration efforts along the west branch of Skippack Creek. This project, involving strong interagency partnerships, volunteer efforts, and forward-thinking design elements, has resulted in a healthier ecosystem, improved flood attenuation and stormwater management in the floodplain corridor, and a unique natural destination for the community to enjoy.

DEP update on expiration / renewal of PAG-02 in Dec, 2024
** Announcement **
The PAG-02 General Permit will expire on December 7, 2024. DEP expects that Notices of Intent (NOIs) to remain covered under the reissued PAG-02 General Permit will be required, and those NOIs will be due to the DEP or county conservation district office that approved original coverage by December 7, 2024. DEP expects to provide a streamlined renewal NOI form for this purpose. This form will not be available until PAG-02 is reissued (the current estimate is Fall 2024). Permittees that do not have Notice of Termination (NOT) approval by December 7, 2024 will need to submit a renewal NOI. However, DEP and county conservation districts cannot accept renewal NOIs for PAG-02 until DEP publishes the final reissued PAG-02 General Permit.
MCCD staff will share the renewal form when announced by DEP, to solicit and process renewals in advance of the December 7 expiration. We hope to commence this exercise in September.
