that result in a plan modification but do not result in an increase in disturbed acreage, and reissuance of an active permit coverage.
Application type. Select NEW PERMIT ISSUANCE to obtain a new permit coverage. Modifications are for modifying an existing, active permit
coverage. Select MODIFICATION WITH ACREAGE INCREASE when the previously approved acreage(s) increases (permit modifications are not
performed for decreases in acreage unless they result in plan changes — see Modification WITHOUT Acreage Increase). Select MODIFICATION
