Regional General Permit
The Harris County Flood Control District recently submitted a permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Regional General Permit (RGP) that would allow the District to meet its stated mission and provide authorization of maintenance activities that are substantially similar in nature and cause only minimal direct and cumulative environmental effects.
The purpose of this RGP is to achieve the following objectives:
|
 |
Address damage and failures in a timely manner to: reduce their size, minimize adverse environmental effects, and reduce the amount and frequency of suspended solids that may be subsequently discharged to receiving streams. |
|
|
Implement maintenance and emergency repair projects with long term solutions using a watershed approach that effectively reduces the adverse direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effect of repeat work. |
|
|
Establish a consistent, predictable, and simplified approach to certain categories of work known to have little individual or cumulative effect. |
|
|
Reduce the permitting backlog and workload of both the District and the Corps. |
|
|
Reduce cost by streamlining the permitting process and reducing repetitive work. |
|
|
Implement a consistent and predictable maintenance schedule. |
|
|
Comply with requirements established by project cooperation agreements, Corps permits, and O&M manuals |
