About each permit
Erosion & Sedimentation Control / PCSM Plan Review and NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit
A contractor, or any business building or expanding a site, whose project disturbs earth in Cumberland County submits its erosion and sedimentation control plan, and where required its post-construction stormwater (PCSM) plan and NPDES application, to the Cumberland County Conservation District. The District's Erosion & Sedimentation Control / NPDES page states that it administers the E&S program through a signed delegation agreement with the PA Department of Environmental Protection, that Cumberland County is a level three county in the delegation, and that projects proposing one acre or more of earth disturbance must obtain an NPDES permit. Per the District's fee schedule headed '(effective 5/1/2022)', the schedule linked from that page, the District's own E&S service fee is $500 below one acre and rises from $500 plus $300 per disturbed acre to $7,000 plus $225 per disturbed acre for 51 acres or more, with a separate PCSM service fee of $500 to $8,000. The NPDES administrative filing fee ($500 general, $1,500 individual) and the $100 per disturbed acre DEP fee are set by state regulation, 25 Pa. Code §102.6(b)(1), not by the District. The application package states a 35 calendar day E&S technical review for non-NPDES sites, that fees submitted with a withdrawn application are not refunded, and that a re-application within 180 days that does not change the project's scope pays 25% of the original service fees.
