Final Technical Guidance

   DEP ID:  400-0200-001. Title: Policy for Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) Coordination During Permit Review and Evaluation. Description: The Department has revised its policy to clarify PNDI coordination within the permit review process. It is the Department's policy to ensure that permit applications and requests for authorizations, received by the Department and County Conservation District staff (when acting under the authority of the Department), are coordinated with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resource's PNDI. PNDI coordination will be conducted in a manner consistent with the requirements of the rules and regulations implemented by the Department. The Department and County Conservation District staff will follow this policy during the permit application review process. Effective Date: January 18, 2003.

Notice of Intent to Rescind

   The Department's drinking water program is reorganizing how technical guidance documents are organized on the Department's website. The program created staff handbooks in the mid 1990s as a way to organize the various guidance documents and ensure their availability to the staff and public. Currently, most documents are listed under a section of a specific safe drinking water staff handbook. With the advent of the Department's website and the Environmental Print Shop, these documents are even more readily available, either electronically or for ordering. The staff and public can selectively request or download the documents as needed. Therefore, the Department no longer maintains the complete staff handbooks. The Department intends to remove the references to the staff handbooks and simply list the individual guidance documents on the website. No individual guidance documents will be rescinded as a result of this action. Refer to theses DEP ID numbers:
