BACKGROUND

Pennsylvania has more miles of streams and rivers than any other state in the lower 48.  Regulations with PA Code, Title 25, Chapter 105 (Chapter 105), were created to protect the health, safety, welfare and property of the people; and to protect natural resources, water quality and the carrying capacity of watercourses. These regulations are primarily administered by the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), however, the Clinton County Conservation District is delegated responsibility for some aspects of the Chapter 105 program. District staff can review and issue General Permits, inspect permitted sites, investigate complaints, and provide regulatory and permitting assistance.
