Your Permit

Permits

CRWD rules require stormwater management permits for construction projects disturbing more than one acre of land within the watershed. As most of the District is developed, stormwater management is critical to improving water quality. Additional permit requirements may also apply, depending on site conditions.

Permit applications are reviewed by District staff and presented to the Board of Managers at monthly meeting, typically held the first and third Wednesday of every month. CRWD staff then will recommend action to the Managers, who approve or deny the application based on District rules.

Apply For A Permit

Applicants must submit the permit application at least 21 days prior to a regularly scheduled board meeting. Board meetings are listed on the events calendar. All board meetings are held at CRWD offices, 595 Aldine Street, Saint Paul, MN 55104.

Closeout Info

When the project has been completed in accordance with the terms of the permit and the Watershed District’s Rules, a final closeout inspection report will be sent to the applicant stating that the permit will be closed. CRWD will then issue the Certificate of Completion and return any cash surety within approximately 3-6 weeks. Contact your CRWD inspector to begin the closeout inspection process.
