DEP Launches New Permit Tracking Webpage For Applicants, Public

On January 14, Acting DEP Secretary Jessica Shirley briefed DEP’s Citizens Advisory Council on a new Permit Tracking webpage that just became available for applicants and the public to see where permits are in the DEP review process.

With this new tool, users can search by county, program area, permit type or by the authorization (permit) ID or by keyword.

Program areas include air quality, clean water, environmental cleanup & brownfields, mining, oil & gas, radiation protection, safe drinking water, waste management and waterways engineering.

For each application, information is presented on the current status in the review process, general information on the permit application (county, but not always townships), target date for competing current review step, and contact information for the permit reviewer.

Permit applications reviewed by county conservation districts are not in this application since they are not part of DEP's eFACTS database.

Visit DEP’s Permit Tracking webpage.
