Additional permitting programs will be added to the platform throughout the next year. PEEP brings transparency to DEQ’s permitting processes and will provide current information about the critical steps and permitting schedules associated with obtaining permit approvals. Permit applicants, agency staff, and the public can now access information about pending permits online in real time.
