Final Technical Guidance

   DEP ID:  254-5400-001. Title: Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the Management of Waste from Land Clearing, Grubbing, and Excavation (LCGE). Description: The Commonwealth's municipal waste regulations, amended and published as final on December 23, 2000, retained the permit exemption for activities relating to the use of waste from land clearing, grubbing and excavation, including trees, brush, stumps and vegetative materials. However, due to problems associated with mismanagement of these materials, the final regulations include mandatory implementation of BMPs. This manual discusses the BMPs that should be followed for operations involving land clearing, grubbing and excavation materials, including environmental concerns that precipitated the need for these practices. Effective Date: March 1, 2003. Contact: Habib Sharifihoessin, (717) 787-7381, hsharifiho@state.pa.us.
