DENR ONE STOP Permitting
Our goal is to make the environmental permitting process as friendly and easy to understand as possible. Whether you have an existing business or are planning a new business, we want to help you understand everything you need to know about permitting -- What permits are needed? Where can I get application forms? What is the application procedure? Time frames? Duration of the permit? Cost? etc.
Several sources of permitting information are available from the links shown below. These links may answer your questions but, if not, feel free to use the information as a guide for contacting us directly. Our contact for one stop permitting is Kent Woodmansey. Depending on the situation, Kent may be able to answer your questions. If not, he can arrange to have the pertinent staff contact you or setup a face-to-face meeting at our office. At the meeting we will have department staff available to explain permitting issues and answer your questions.
