The Wyoming County Conservation
District has been delegated responsibility for the administration and
implementation of two programs by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection:
Erosion & Sediment
(E&S) Pollution Control (Chapter
102)
PA
Code Title 25 Chapter 102 requires all earthmoving projects in the Commonwealth
to develop an erosion and sediment pollution control plan and implement best
management practices for the control of sediment pollution during construction.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) (Chapter
92)
PA
Code Title 25 Chapter 92 requires those projects which disturb between 1.0 and
5.0 acres, and have a point-source discharge to waters of the Commonwealth, to
have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for
Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities. As part of this
permit, an approved erosion control plan is required.
All projects, with or without a point source discharge, which disturb more than
5.0 acres, require a NPDES permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with
Construction Activities. As part of this permit, an approved erosion control
plan is required.

following table shows the E&S Pollution Control and NPDES Program Trends in Wyoming County
