This environmental dewatering permit template is free to use and makes completing and approving dewatering permits safe and more reliable.

Dewatering is the process of removing of any water that accumulates in earthwork excavations or below ground structures at or below the existing water table as a result of intersecting aquifers, seepage of soil water/groundwater or storm events.

Dewatering permits are used to ensure that the dewatering activities adhere to legislative guidelines enacted by governments and other governing bodies - and so that the activity itself and the body of water are treated and managed safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.

For example, engineers and builders must ensure that contaminated and polluted water is not discharged into watercourses or marine waters - and are instead disposed of correctly. To do this, environmental engineers and teams must survey and record water properties to understand the measures which need to be taken.
