A General Permit is a permit issued by the Commission in lieu of an individual approval for a specific category of projects that the Commission regulates. A General Permit covers a type of activity that can operate under the same conditions and will result in minimal adverse impacts to the water resources of the Basin. The General Permit became effective on January 1, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The General Permit process has several benefits for the regulated community:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Established criteria for qualification to operate under the General Permit.<\/li>\n<li>Established conditions of operation under the General Permit.<\/li>\n<li>Streamlined application and review process, resulting in quicker permit decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Lower application fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Groundwater remediation projects are overseen by federal and state agencies, and follow federal and state regulations for cleanup standards.\u00a0 Currently, these projects go through the full review process and received dockets.\u00a0\u00a0GP-01 is designed to streamline the Commission\u2019s approval process, avoid duplication of those authorities and standards, and covers the more limited role that Commission regulations require for the use of water for groundwater remediation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scope<\/strong><br \/>\nThe general permit covers withdrawals and consumptive uses of water for groundwater remediation projects that meet the jurisdictional limits of 18 CFR \u00a7 806.4(a).
