DEQ - Expedited Application Review Information
In accordance with Part 41, Sewerage Systems, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, the construction of any new or alteration of an existing sewerage system to serve the public is required to receive a construction permit from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). In accordance with Part 41 (Section 12), the DEQ is providing, for a fee, an expedited application review process for construction permits. The following is a link to Section 12 of Part 41:
A summary of the expedited review process is provided below, along with the address for required contacts with the DEQ.
If you have questions about the expedited application review process, please send an e-mail to DEQ-Expedited-Permit@michigan.gov.
1. Submit electronic notification of intent to request expedited review to DEQ-Expedited-Permit@michigan.gov.
2. Submit a completed electronic Part 41 permit application, in PDF file format, to DEQ-Expedited-Permit@michigan.gov at least 10 business days after submission of the initial notification described above.
The application form may be found at: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/wb-fos-part41-App-1-30-07_188807_7.doc
Note: "complete application" means that a DEQ-provided application form is completed, all requested information has been provided, and the application can be processed without additional information.

On the same date as the electronic Part 41 permit application (described in 2 above) is submitted, a completed paper copy of the Part 41 permit application (postmarked with the same date as the electronic application was sent) with original signature along with two complete sets of construction plans and specifications that have been prepared, signed and sealed by a State of Michigan licensed professional engineer, shall be submitted to the appropriate district contact.

For non-governmental entities, the submittal shall include certification to the DEQ that all necessary contractual service agreements and financial plans are in place.
4. On the same date of the electronic Part 41 Permit application submittal described in 2 above (i.e., the mail submittal shall be postmarked on this date also), appropriate payment of the fee shall be made in check form, payable to the State of Michigan.

Credit card payment will be available again for expedited permits later this year when the Part 41 permit processing is moved to the new MiWaters permitting system.
The check and a copy of the cover page of the permit application shall be submitted to:
5. If the applicant fails to sign the Part 41 permit application, submits construction plans and specifications that have not been prepared, signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer, or submits an insufficient fee, the DEQ will notify the applicant within 5 business days of the deficiency. The application will not be processed until the deficient items are addressed. If the applicant does not provide the deficient items within 5 business days after notification by the DEQ, the application will be handled as described in item 6.
6. If application deficiencies exist, other than those described in 5 above or if deficiencies exist as described in 5 above and are not corrected within 5 business days of notification to the applicant, the department will not conduct an expedited review and shall keep the original fee amount. The applicant will be notified of the application deficiencies. Upon receipt of this notification, the applicant may correct the deficiencies and resubmit the application and request expedited review based on the following:
7. The DEQ shall review and make a decision on complete applications submitted with a request for expedited review within 10 business days of receipt by the department of a complete application. However, if the department waives the notification requirement of subsection (4)(a) of Section 12 of Part 41, the department shall review and make a decision on the application within 20 business days of receipt of a complete application.
The DEQ will notify applicants electronically of decisions regarding expedited review requests. If a permit is issued, the DEQ will send a PDF copy of the signed permit to the permittee electronically, followed with the paper copy via regular mail.
