New Permit Schedule Adopted

The new deadline for permit applications is 22 days prior to the permit Board meeting date (4th Wednesday of each month, November and December exceptions due to holidays). For applications involving impacts to wetlands, the application deadline is 40 days prior to the permit Board meeting date.
