Waste and Materials Management Permits and General Permits

Effective October 1, 2013, if an applicant is required by law to publish notice of their permit/license application, the applicant must submit a copy of the published notice and a completed "Certification of Notice" form with their application materials (Public Act 13-209). Applications will not be processed by DEEP if the required notice documents and initial application fee are not included in the application submittal. Application forms and instructions are in the process of being updated to include the new requirements.

DEEP's ezFile on-line system can be used for submitting Pesticides Into State Waters; Re-Introduction of Pesticides Into State Waters and Waste Transporter applications. Please refer to the Waste Transporter Fact Sheet for details on using ezFile.
