Since there <br />have been no problems with this General Permit over the past five years, I am extending the <br />permit for another five years, or until September 30, 2010. The purpose of the permit is to more <br />easily and quickly authorize pumping for flood protection and stormwater pond maintenance. <br />I have updated and reprinted the permit, project notification form, and water use fee reporting <br />form for your information and use. <br />Hopefully, the attached information will be self-explanatory. If you have any questions or <br />concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me or your Area Hydrologist at 651-772-7910. <br />Sincerely, <br />e <br />Dale E.
