Subject: [Owrinfo] Proposed Freshwater Wetlands General Permit & Public Comment Period


Section 3.10 of the New Freshwater Wetlands Rules (250-RICR-150-15-3) creates a Freshwater Wetlands General Permit. DEM may issue the Freshwater Wetlands General Permit for limited projects that meet certain eligibility requirements and that:



a) involve the same or similar types and areas of alteration or impacts;

b) occur only within the jurisdictional area identified in the general permit;

c) involve similar land uses; and that

d) in the opinion of the Department are more appropriately authorized under a general permit than under individual Freshwater Wetlands Permits.



RI DEM is now proposing the Freshwater Wetlands General Permit with a public comment period from July 29, 2022 through September 12, 2022. Attached are the Public Notice being issued today, and a copy of the proposed Freshwater Wetlands General Permit, where you may find additional information regarding the proposed Freshwater Wetlands General Permit.
