Permitting
This section of the Implementation Guide overviews potential permit considerations and the resources available to learn more about permitting for watershed improvement efforts. Permitting is a key consideration for CAP Coordinators in determining the potential timeline of a project’s development and funding readiness.
Note: The CAP Coordinator is not expected (but can) to submit projects to DEP’s Permit Application Consultation Tool (PACT), but the CAP Coordinator should: encourage project owners or landowners to use PACT; be able to walk potential permit applicants through PACT; and attend pre-application meetings, whenever possible.
The purpose of this guide is to help applicants understand DEP’s permitting process and some of the regulations most relevant to watershed improvement efforts, and to assist applicants in efficiently obtaining permits for projects which support such efforts.
