On August 30, 2024, the Department of Environmental Protection published a final, reissued NPDES PAG-02 General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activities in the Pennsylvania Bulletin for a new 5-year term.
Information for Permitees
Current PAG-02 General NPDES Construction Stormwater Permits are valid through 12/7/2029. Renewals of PAG-02 General NPDES Permits are not available at this time.
Individual NPDES Construction Stormwater Permits and PAG-01 NPDES Construction Stormwater Permits are valid for 5 years from the issued date.
If more time is necessary to complete the project through stabilization and submission of a Notice of Termination, permittees are required to renew the permit before the permit expires.
Permit renewal applications should be submitted 180 days before the expiration date for Individual and PAG-01 Permits. Please note a renewal is appropriate when no changes have been made to the approved E&S or PCSM drawings. If changes are proposed, a Minor or Major Amendment is likely also needed.
Please carefully read the instructions of the PAG-01 NOI for a full list of items to include. A renewal application for a permit that does not include any proposed changes must include:
General Information Form (GIF) (form 4700-PM-CEE0001)
Renewals for PAG-01 NPDES permits require a $500 ACCD CWF fee. Individual NPDES permit renewals require a $1,500 ACCD CWF fee.
A $1,000 ACCD review fee is required for PAG-01 and Individual NPDES permit renewals.
Payments made online through MuniciPAY (a secure site for credit card or e-check transactions) are preferred. However a SINGLE paper check, payable to Allegheny County Conservation District, is an option. Please send a check via USPS regular mail and enclose a transmittal or note as to what project the check is for.
All fees are nonrefundable.
