Pre Design/Permitting Assistance

Businesses considering establishing or expanding facilities in Utah may use DEQ’s pre-design process to assist with obtaining environmental permits quickly and efficiently. Begin by sending a letter or e-mail to the Office of Planning and Public Affairs briefly explaining your production processes. DEQ will arrange a meeting with Division representatives to introduce the permit process, explain which permits are required, and detail pollution prevention techniques.

Processing of permit applications can take between 21 and 180 days, depending upon the permit or permits required. Complex and large-scale project may require additional review time. Submitting complete and accurate information in the beginning reduces delay during reviews.
