Tips for submitting an application for the N.P.D.E.S. permits:

The new BCCD application and fee schedule should be completed and submitted with all review applications, including revisions.

We strongly recommend a pre-application meeting for every project that requires a permit.

Use the most current NOI.

The checklist which accompanies the NOI should be fully and accurately completed, including the page numbers where the items can be found.

We strongly recommend using the text and format from the Sample Municipal Notification Letter found in the Permit package. The letter should also include the Certified Mail receipt number and list the enclosures.

If a GIF is not used, the Land Use Questions should be completed and accompany the Notification Letters. The GIF is required for Individual Permits.

The PNHP/PNDI receipt should be properly signed, initialed, and all contact information completed. Include impact clearance letters if proof of agency coordination is required.

The tables in Section D of the NOI should be consistent with Worksheets 1-5.

Use the checklist which accompanies the NOI to determine where the items should be located. Do not bind items that do not have an "N" listed in the checklist for the NOI.

The E&SPC Plan (narrative and plan sheets) and PCSM Plan (narrative and plan sheets) should be physically seperate plans.

Items such as the NOI, PNDI, Standard Worksheets 1-5 and 10-13 should not be bound in the report. These items should be stapled or clipped and kept seperate from the narratives.
