Re: Approval of Minor Amendment to Permit Coverage
CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park South
NPDES Permit Application No. PAC400140 A-3
Jenkins Township, Luzerne County
Dear Mr. Maakestad:
Under the authority of the federal Clean Water Act and Pennsylvania’s Clean Streams Law, the
Luzerne Conservation District (District) has approved your request for a minor amendment to your permit.
The latest versions of the NOI for PAG-02 and all supporting documents, including the Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Plan and Post-Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM)
Plan, are incorporated into this approval, including the following plan drawings:
• The E&S Plan drawings for CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park South, dated 1/23/26 and last revised 3/03/26.
• The PCSM Plan drawings for CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park South, dated
1/23/26 and last revised 3/03/26.
The terms and conditions of your permit, including the expiration date, have not otherwise changed. In addition, if stormwater discharges associated with construction activities are expected to continue beyond the expiration date of your permit coverage, you must apply to renew your coverage as instructed by your permit.
Note that changes to PCSM stormwater control measure(s) SCMs may necessitate an amendment to the legal instrument and plans that were originally recorded for the project. If such an amendment is needed, the recorded information and proof of recording must be submitted to the
District with or prior to submission of the Notice of Termination (NOT).
