NSR Application Forms

Permit Applications should continue to use the appropriate forms and attachments. DAQ is only making changes to allow for electronic submittal (via email) of Permit Applications to facilitate faster submittal of Applications and adapting to telecommute and work from home situations. As we roll this process out, we reserve the right to make changes to improve the process for all involved.

Application Forms

Permit determinations are a process whereby a facility may ascertain whether or not a permit to construct, modify or relocate is necessary. Once a permit determination application is filled out and submitted, DAQ engineers will decide within 30 days if further action is required. There are NO FEES connected with this process.
