Section 3704.120  General Permits

The Department may, for the purpose of providing more expeditious processing of permit applications, issue general permits pertaining to specific types of activities, such as boat launching facilities, meeting such conditions as necessary to assure compliance with the purpose and intent of this Part. General permits may be applicable on a statewide basis, or may be restricted to specified public bodies of water.  Subsequent to the issuance of a general permit, individual applications must still be submitted but authorizations will be granted for activities meeting all of the terms and conditions of the general permit without notice or interagency coordination.  General permits will be issued only after notice and opportunity for public review and comment.
