The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of the final Policy for Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory Coordination During Permit Review (021-0200-001) in the May 25 PA Bulletin.   Both the policy and a comment/response document were posted this week.

The Department is revising its existing policy to clarify PNDI coordination within the permit review process. PNDI coordination will be conducted in a manner consistent with the requirements of the rules and regulations implemented by the Department. The Department and County Conservation District staff will follow this policy during the permit application review process. 

A copy of the new policy is now available online as well as the comment/response document.
