This page organizes environmental permits, licenses, and certifications by topic to help you quickly identify the approvals that may apply to your activity. Each numbered item links to a fact sheet that explains the most important details about that approval.
At the top of each fact sheet, you’ll find a question or two to help determine whether that approval is relevant to your project. The fact sheets also walk you through the application process, including what steps to take, how long it typically takes to receive the approval, and any associated costs. You’ll find guidance on whether additional approvals from local or federal agencies are required, how long your approval will remain valid, and who to contact with questions.
Many fact sheets also explain what related approvals you might need and the legal authority under which the state issues each one. Additional resources are available, including contact information for program staff and lists of approvals organized by type of activity, site, or equipment.
