Subdivision Review

Tentative and Final Map reviews are conducted by the Bureau of Water Pollution Control per Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 278 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 278. Improvement plans for Rural Counties (all counties excluding Clark and Washoe) are jointly reviewed by both the Bureau of Safe Drinking Water and the Bureau of Water Pollution Control.

The Bureau of Safe Drinking Water will continue to evaluate appropriate aspects of subdivision submittals, such as the capability of the Public Water System to serve the proposed development. These activities, however, are internal to NDEP and transparent to the Public as projects are submitted for review and approval.
