DEK4LRisrequired bythe EPA toissue aspecific [O[toevery construction site that disturbs one acre or more. DEK4LR isworking to create a form that combines the E3'5Cplan approval and e-N0processes, but that will take more time. For now, DEMLR has created an efficient e-NO| process. If anUSCPlan isapproved before April 1,which permit applies? Projects with already approved E&S[Plans will automatically follow the new NCGOlpermit, but will not need bzfill out ane-N0orpay anannual permit fee.
