Erosion
and Sedimentation Pollution Control/ Conservation Planning/NPDES Soil and water conservation services are core functions of the Lebanon County Conservation District. We can assist you in developing a conservation plan for your farmland or woodland to meet your land use objectives. Conservation plans are designed free of charge to comply with the Commonwealth's Erosion Control Law, Chapter 102. A Request for Technical Assistance Form should be filed with the District office and can be downloaded. Conservation plans should be updated to reflect changes in management goals. At the Lebanon County Conservation District, the Erosion Control Specialist works to minimize the loss of soil to erosion. They work with contractors, engineers, designers, local municipalities and landowners to assist in the design of Best Management Practices in an attempt to minimize soil loss during construction and to stabilize disturbed areas as quickly as possible. This is accomplished by administering the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Chapter 102 Erosion Control Program, and the Federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System stormwater program on the local level. If you have questions about the Chapter 102 program, our Erosion Control Specialist would be happy to assist you. If you are an engineer or plan preparer, and need a copy of the most recent Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual (March 2000) available on hard copy and CD, or a current fee schedule/application for Lebanon County, please contact the Lebanon County Conservation District.
