Indicate the estimated project start and end dates:

Briefly describe the construction project, including existing and proposed land uses:

Is this project initiated in response to a public emergency (i.e., mudslides, earthquake, extreme flooding conditions, disruption in essential public services) for which the related work requires immediate authorization to avoid imminent endangerment to human health or the environment or to reestablish essential public services?

Is this project located within a floodplain? View the map of available Floodplains.

Is this project located within a critical area? View the map of available critical areas.

Indicate the appropriate Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number that best represents the eventual use of the facility under construction.  Tooltip More Information

Provide the Designated Stream Use Classification. View the map of available Designated Stream Use Classifications.

Does the site fall within a Tier II Watershed? Please review the MDE Maryland High Quality Waters (Tier II) definitions to indicate accurately. You can also visit the map indicating Maryland’s Tier II high quality stream segments and their drainage areas/catchments.

In answering Yes to the project being located in a Tier II Watershed, you are required to upload anti-degradation documentation. If your project is located in a Tier II Watershed with no assimilative capacity (AC), please review these MDE guidelines.

MDE has created this CHECKLIST which may be used to indicate that an anti-degradation review has been completed. However, you are not required to use this checklist, and may upload any relevant documentation to show there has been an anti-degradation review (dewatering to receiving waters in a Tier II Watershed is subject to turbidity benchmark monitoring).

Are the receiving waters listed on the current Maryland 303(d) list as impaired or Water Quality Assessments Map as impaired? How do I determine this? (dewatering to receiving waters impaired for sediment is subject to turbidity benchmark monitoring).
