Individual NPDES Permitting Pilot Program

PA DEP has issued a news release introducing a pilot program in select counties, including Luzerne, to evaluate new procedures for improving the quality of applications received and accelerating the review of Chapter 102 Individual NPDES Permit applications. Chapter 102 General NPDES Permit Notices of Intent (NOIs) are not part of the Pilot program. The Pilot program started on May 1, 2024, and will end when specified by DEP.

Interested applicants should review the Pilot Program summary document and contact the district’s E&S Program to discuss the possibility of participating in the program.
