A District engineer evaluates the project based on the information supplied in the permit application and any other equipment or process information made available. Applicants must demonstrate that they can operate in compliance with the District rules and regulations. When the District engineer is satisfied that the project will comply, an Authority to Construct is issued. After construction is completed, you must file for a Permit to Operate. District staff inspects the facility to ensure that all the necessary equipment has been installed in accordance with the Authority to Construct.
Authorization then is given to allow operation during testing.
Once the District is satisfied that the operating facility does not violate District rules, a Permit to Operate will be issued. The Permit to Operate contains the parameters within which the facility may operate. This permit must be renewed annually and may be reviewed and modified as needed. Contact the District to receive a Permit Application Package. This includes an application form and instructions.
