Pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Policy, as of May 5, 2011, applications will not be accepted for onstream dams located on Class I or Class II streams within the geographic area covered by this Policy. A limited exception for existing onstream dams on Class II streams that meet specified criteria is set forth in section 2.4.2 of the Policy.
