Permitting Requirements

Review the excavation dewatering NOI submission flow chart and permit to determine if permit coverage is required. Information about either mapped contaminated sites or identified large groundwater plumes can be viewed by accessing DEC's Contaminated Sites webmap. Once you have determined general permit coverage is required for your discharge, please do the following:

1. Obtain and read the entire Excavation Dewatering general permit.
2. Develop a BMP plan in accordance with Permit Part 2.2.9. The BMP plan is a critical component of the permit to provide assurance all wastewater will be properly managed, treated, and discharged in accordance with the permit. A BMP template is provided for your convenience.
3. Submissions to DEC
• Submit an NOI via EDMS.
• Pay the permit fee
• Submit a certified BMP plan with completed NOI and permit fee
4. Upon receipt of a DEC authorization letter, the applicant will be given a permit authorization tracking number granting them authority to discharge.
