NPDES Program
The District, in conjunction with PADEP, administers the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for stormwater discharges associated with construction activities. Projects that generate earth disturbances 1 acre or greater are required to obtain a NPDES Permit. Sites discharging to a High Quality (HQ) or Exceptional Value (EV) watershed require an Individual NPDES Permit.
EFFECTIVE January 1, 2024 -- For all new submissions, please utilize the updated review fee schedule (review fees can be found in the BCCD E&SC Project Application & Review Fee Schedule document).
