[Owtsinfo] Freshwater Wetlands Rules Workshop

[Onsite Wastewater Treatment System]

To Interested Persons,



As you may be aware, RIDEM has adopted new Freshwater Wetlands Rules, referenced as 250-RICR-150-15-3, that will take full effect on July 1, 2022. The first in a series of training workshops on these rules will take place Wednesday January 26, 2022 at 3:00 pm via ZOOM.  The call details are listed below.  The workshop is targeted to persons involved in the wetlands permitting process including applicants, design professionals, and consultants.



The workshop will provide an overview of major rule changes and review in detail the new terminology and buffer standards.  This will include information about how to identify the applicable buffer zone(s) and corresponding site plan requirements.  Future workshops will focus on various aspects of the wetlands permit process, including the new variance procedure and general permits, expanded exemptions as well as municipal coordination. Additional information on the schedule and content for those workshops will be forthcoming.



Please note that RIDEM has created a form for submitting questions about the new rules that is available on our website at the following link: http://dem.ri.gov/newwetlandsrules<http://www.dem.ri.gov/newwetlandsrules>.

RIDEM encourages the submittal of questions in advance of the workshops in order to tailor the content of presentations to address the common issues being raised.
