APPLICATION TO DRAW OFF WATER FROM IMPOUNDMENTS

DEP SUPPLEMENT

Many activities related to reservoir drawdowns require separate DEP and/or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval(s) prior to beginning the activity(s). The information provided on or attached to this supplement will be used by the appropriate DEP office to process the necessary state and/or federal authorizations or to determine additional permitting requirements. Providing the information described on this form will allow DEP to complete this review and approval or screening procedure while the drawdown application is being processed.

Often, the applicant has already submitted documentation for the proposed activity to a DEP office. The applicant should still complete this supplement to the drawdown application, indicating what information was sent, and to which office.

The primary purpose of this supplement form is to simplify the submission, review, and approval of minor projects requiring written state or federal authorization. This form and the information attached are not intended to replace state and federal requirements for obtaining individual permits for major projects. The appropriate DEP office having jurisdiction over the proposed activity will generally provide the applicant with a request for additional information, the necessary authorization to proceed with the work, or a determination that an individual permit(s) is required.

Specific Project Information

The following information to be provided for each type of activity does not need to follow any particular format but should provide sufficient detail to allow DEP to establish appropriate jurisdiction, waiver or general permit eligibility, small project eligibility, appropriateness of authorization by letter, or the need for full state or federal permits.
