Interim Final Technical Guidance—New Guidance
DEP ID: 310-2137-006. Title: Chapter 105 Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit Comprehensive Environmental Assessment of Proposed Project Impacts. Description: This proposed technical guidance is intended to clarify the process for completing the information requirements for a Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit application, Environmental Assessment Form # 3150-PM-BWEW0017. Currently, the permit application requirements generally address proposed project impacts to waters of the Commonwealth associated with small scale projects located in a single county and covered by a single permit application. Large scale projects, however, often cross more than one county and are covered by multiple permit applications necessitating the need for a comprehensive review of all proposed impacts to waters of the Commonwealth from the entire project. This guidance outlines for the permit applicant the required project wide comprehensive environmental assessment information in the permit application in accordance with the rules and regulations of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 105 (relating to dam safety and waterway management).
