Erosion and Sedimentation
Erosion and Sedimentation (E & S) controls are used in instances where soil is being disturbed by development, timber harvesting or by highway development. E & S Control Plans that are submitted to our office for review must include measures that will promote the maintenance and protection of existing water quality and its uses. E & S Tech I Bernie Spozio reviews erosion and sediment pollution control plans, conducts site inspections, receives, answers and services complaints, and processes permit applications pursuant to the NPDES program. The District has established a fee schedule for the review of E & S Pollution Control Plans. Please note that the fee for reviewing has increased from $50 to $75 effective October 1, 2009. Questions regarding fees and the review process should be directed to B at 814-226-4070 ext.113. FEE SCHEDULE
NPDES
PLEASE NOTE: Effective December 8, 2009, the permit fee for the NPDES General Permit has increased to $500. Applicants should begin to use the NEW NOI/application effective 12-8-2009. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Clarion Conservation District. Effective December 7, 2002, DEP integrated the federal Phase II NPDES requirements into the existing NPDES Phase I for stormwater discharges associated with construction activities. An important distinction between Phase I and II is that the small construction activities only require permit coverage when the activity disturbs one to less than five acres and will result in a Point Source Discharge to Surface Waters of the Commonwealth. Local implementation of the NPDES permit program is managed by the Clarion Conservation District. Applications must include an E & S Control Plan that will be reviewed by the District. NPDES forms and information can be obtained by calling the District office (Trudy Alexander) at 814-226-4070 ext. 111 or can be downloaded from the County Conservation District Niche. This site has information regarding Chapter 102, Chapter 105, NPDES, PHNP (formerly PNDI), the Dirt and Gravel Road Program, the Nutrient Management Program, etc.
