New permit requirements and related guidance materials
This table is a resource for guidance and outreach related to the new permit requirements. The permit requirements (items) listed below may only be partially new. In this case, the part of the permit item that is new will be indicated with bold italic text. If there is no bold italic text, then the whole permit item is new.
