This is not a permit or an application. We don't file anything for you. Agency fees are paid only to the agency.
The permit side of owning a pond or lakefront in Pennsylvania is spread across four agencies, a dozen web pages and the Pennsylvania Code. This handbook gathers it into one printable, dated edition: a page for each kind of project, the agency map, and the care, plant and fish basics you need to make good decisions. Every regulatory fact is stamped with the date we checked it, and the edition is reissued after each yearly check.
