Water Related Permits
Permits are required, in most cases, when altering the State’s water resources. If you are installing a culvert, building a dock or bridge, or working in a stream most likely a permit is required. The type or level of permit is dependent upon the size and scope of the activity you propose.
The Department of Environmental Resources adopted a new fee schedule for all permits related to water and the Chapter 105 program. This includes General Permits which were previously free. Please click on the Fee Calculation schedule below.
Contact our office if you are considering an activity involving water.
The District acknowledges General Permits associated with the Chapter 105 Program as delegated by DEP.
• Any of the General Permit (GP’s) notification forms should be sent to Wayne Conservation District. The exceptions are GP10, GP11, and GP15 notification forms that should be sent to DEP Northeast Regional Office.
The following links are the registration form and the project screening form used for the listed general permits. They are in Word format for your use.
