Tips for submitting a NPDES Permit Package

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

Use the most current NOI. Follow this link, for the DEP's website to download the most current form.

The checklist which accompanies the NOI should be fully 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 13 Land Use Questions should be completed and accompany the Notification Letters.

The 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 C 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 and "N" listed in the checklist for the NOI.
