Innovative Permitting and Technical Assistance Initiative

The DES Innovative Permitting and Technical Assistance project has been initiated to improve our technical assistance and permitting programs for land development activities to:

  • Achieve better overall environmental outcomes.
  • Streamline and coordinate DES’s land development permitting processes.
  • Improve coordination with other agencies and municipalities.

DES is making a significant investment of time and resources toward this effort, including a $275,000 State Innovations Grant received from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2008. Key components of this project will be developed during the first year and piloted for several projects starting in the fall of 2009.

Under this initiative, DES will establish guidelines on best practices for land development activities, enhance our pre-application meeting practices, and review and revise our land development permit procedures. more...
