Nearby informating sessions coming in March/ April
Dear all,

ANR has just released the final Municipal Roads General Permit. See email below for more details.

Some highlighted changes for you to be aware of:
  • Ditches on slopes of over 10% - 12 inch minus stone is now recommendation, with 6-8 inch minus required
  • Paved road with catch basins - now needs be be causing 3 cubic yards or greater of erosion to be considered a Very High Priority Site
  • Class 4 roadways - more time to meet standards for Very High Priority segments

Please note that permit fees have not changed since those were established in statute.

A tip for reading the permit - start by skim reading the response to comments (maybe even do a word search for key items of concern), and then read the actual permit. The response to comments has alot of useful context and explanation.

Please note that the RPC plans to host some information sessions with Jim Ryan in March/ April.

Thanks,

Katharine
