About each permit
Erosion & Sediment Pollution Control Plan Review (Conservation District)
A contractor, or any business building on a site, whose project disturbs earth in Erie County, Pennsylvania submits its erosion and sediment pollution control (E&SPC) plan to the Erie County Conservation District, which the county's Conservation District Board page links. The District's coversheet states that its fees are charged "for technical reviews of Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Plans, as authorized by Act 217 and the delegated agreement with the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)", and that a site requiring a District plan review "may not begin earthmoving activities until the Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Plan has been approved by the District technical staff." Per the District's fee form marked 'Updated 3/2026', posted on its Permits & Forms page under 'UPDATES TO THE FEE SCHEDULE AND SUBMITTAL RULES GUIDELINES AS OF JUNE 2026', the residential service fee runs from $300 for one unit to $4,500 plus $50 per unit for 76 or more units. The service fee covers the initial review and one review of a revision submitted within 60 days of a deficiency letter. The NPDES administrative filing fees ($500 general, $1,500 individual) and the $100 per disturbed acre fee are set by state regulation, 25 Pa. Code §102.6(b)(1), not by the District. The District's guidelines state that its letter of adequacy is valid for three years from issuance for non-Chapter 102 permitted sites.
