EROSION AND SEDIMENT
PA Code, Title 25, Chapter 102 mandates that anyone engaged in "earth disturbance activities" must develop, implement, and maintain erosion control best management practices (BMPs) to minimize the potential for accelerated erosion and sedimentation into Pennsylvania waterways. Locally, the Clarion Conservation District administers this program.
Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) controls are used in instances where soil is being disturbed by development, timber harvesting, or by highway development. Erosion and Sediment Pollution (E&S) Control Plans that are submitted to our office for review must include measures that will promote the maintenance and protection of existing water quality and its uses. The District reviews E&S Pollution Control Plans, conducts site inspections, receives, answers and services complaints, and processes permit applications pursuant to the NPDES program. The District has established a fee schedule for the review of E&S Pollution Control Plans. Questions regarding fees and the review process should be directed to:
Matt Kerr at 814-393-6018 (office), 814-221-1941 (cell), or email mkerrccd@gmail.com.
