The Department of Environmental Protection published notice in the July 11 PA Bulletin applicants for the ESCGP-3 Erosion and Sedimentation Permit for Oil and Gas Operations must submit the Notice Of Intent through the ePermitting System effective September 9, 2020.  (formal notice)

After September 9, DEP will no longer accept new or major modification NOIs on paper.

The Department will continue to accept paper NOIs for Renewals submitted to the Department's Bureau of District Oil and Gas Operations where the existing Authorization of Coverage under the ESCGP-3 was originally issued.

NOIs for ESCGP-3s submitted to a Conservation District of the Department's Regional Waterways and Wetlands Program should continue to be submitted to the appropriate office on paper.

To the extent that an applicant for coverage under the ESCGP-3 is uncertain how to submit their NOI, they should contact the District Oil and Gas Office where the project will be located for further information.
