What it does

This bill would adjust the thresholds that the Department of Environmental Protection uses to require permits for stormwater pollution on small construction activities. The bill would further require the Department of Environmental Protection to prioritize review of revised permit applications, establish a program of expedited approval of applications certified by registered qualified professionals, and send notice to council members of certain rejected permit applications in their district.
