The Prioritized Review Process contained in this draft technical guidance seeks to encourage persons preparing Notices of Intent (NOI) for Authorizations of Coverage under the Erosion and Sediment Control General Permit issued by OOGM to voluntarily develop and implement superior environmental enhancements to proposed projects by providing priority status in the NOI review process to qualifying applicants.
