NPDES Amendment - Pike County Conservation District

2/17/2026 ANNOUNCEMENT: The PCCD Plan Review/ Permit Service Fee for projects disturbing 1 or more acres was temporarily reduced beginning on February 17, 2026 due to the temporary suspension of the PCCD Post Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) Delegation Agreement with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) while PCCD is hiring to fill the vacant District Engineer position. During this transition, the DEP Northeast Regional Office (NERO) will temporarily handle the District’s PCSM responsibilities until the position is filled and delegation is reinstated. Please contact PCCD with any questions.

Adding new impervious surfaces that aren’t addressed by the previously approved stormwater management plan.
Submitting an additional construction phase that wasn’t covered under the initial permit.
Altering the original design standards for Erosion & Sediment (E&S) or Post‑Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) measures that were approved with the initial application.

When a Minor Amendment is Needed:

A minor amendment to an existing permit must be submitted when a proposed change meets any of the following conditions:

The total Disturbed Project Acreage will increase by less than ten percent, not to exceed 2.4 acres of the originally approved disturbed area.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are being shifted or relocated, with no revisions to the approved calculations.
