Utah has a ideal business climate: wide open spaces, a highly-educated
populace and a fine quality of life enhanced by beautiful mountain
ranges, red rock canyons and desert terrain. The Utah Department
of Environmental Quality is committed to managing growth and economic
development in a manner which does not sacrifice public health
or the environment.
New or expanding companies may need to obtain various
environmental permits before construction begins. Permits are required
for activities that could adversely affect the environment. You
will probably be regulated if your business could release pollutants
to the air, land, or water, or if you store, treat, or dispose of
hazardous or solid wastes.
Processing time can take between 21 and 180 days,
depending upon the permit or permits required. Complex and large
scale projects may require additional review time. Submitting complete
and accurate information in the beginning reduces delay during reviews.
