Permit Update

The sand and gravel general permit is scheduled to expire on February 4, 2010. Ecology will not be reissuing the permit by the expiration date, however, the current permit will be extended until the new permit is issued. All facilities covered by the current permit must continue to meet the conditions of the permit.

Ecology is formulating the conditions of the new permit. When those conditions are determined, Ecology will release a draft for a 45 day public comment period. After considering the comments and necessary revisions, the final permit will be issued. All facilities covered under the current permit and who have made timely application for the new permit will automatically be covered by the new permit.
