The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of final changes to three policy documents—public participation in permit review, PA Natural Diversity Inventory and a correction to a prior notice about community water systems.

Final: DEP ID: 012-0900-003. Policy on Public Participation in the Permit Application Review Process. Public participation is an integral part of environmental decision making, and it is the policy of the Department that applications for approval should provide for effective involvement of the public.

Final: DEP ID: 400-0200-001. Policy for Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory Coordination During Permit Review and Evaluation. This guidance revises the instructions for using the Department's PNDI Coordination system.

Final (Corrected): DEP ID: 383-2125-110. Development of a Replacement Source for a Community Water System. This guidance was developed for a community water system that is replacing an existing groundwater source with a well, spring or infiltration gallery to alleviate lost capacity or water quality problems at their current supply source. (This corrects an error in a previous notice.)
