HB 1208 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 22, 1937 (P.L.1987, No.394), known as The Clean Streams Law, in other pollutions and potential pollution, further providing for potential pollution.

HB 1208 amends Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law to allow construction sites disturbing 1 to 5 acres of land to apply for a waiver from the standard stormwater discharge permit requirement. This waiver follows a specific federal regulation (40 CFR 122.26(b)(15)(i)) that governs stormwater permits for smaller projects. The bill directly affects smaller construction developments by offering a streamlined permitting path instead of the usual process. It does not change pollution control standards but simplifies compliance for sites within this size range.
