ASSISTANCE
Act 599 emphasizes local erosion and sedimentation
control programs. Policies governing permit issuance,
inspection and enforcement may therefore vary
between each municipality or county. The individual
contemplating a land-disturbing activity should contact
the governing authority of the county or municipality
having jurisdiction over the proposed land change. Contacts
should be made during the earliest phases of planning
to avoid costly changes or delays.

Act 599 specifies that the plan review process will be
accomplished by the local Soil and Water Conservation
District or its delegated authority. To insure that the erosion
and sediment control plan will conform to local requirements,
the developers should contact a District Supervisor
in the county in which the land-disturbing activity
will take place early in the planning stage.
