• ePermits
• The Notice of Intent (NOI) for this General Permit is submitted electronically through the ePermits website, as are Notices of Termination, Transfers, and the Declaration of Intent (DOI - for the 14-GP).
• The NOI and DOI (for the 14-GP) must be electronically signed by the person in authority from the developer or builder; however, the system will allow agents and consultants to prepare any part of the NOI necessary, then send it to the person who will submit it as the responsible party.
• Federal regulations require that applicants must submit certain information to MDE to validate their authorization to submit an NOI on behalf of a responsible party.  To meet this requirement, MDE developed a Subscriber Agreement Template Form (.doc, pdf).
• Technical issues with the system should be submitted to the technical support team via the 24/7 Support link at the top of the system screen.
• Public Notification Period - When NOIs (with a signed DOI for the 14-GP) are submitted to MDE, a 14 day Public Notification P​​eriod​ is initiated and information is published on MDE's website.  Interested parties may review NOIs during the public notification period.  Please contact the appropriate Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) authority to review plans.  Interested parties may submit concerns about the E&SC to the approval authority and to MDE.  Concerns should be supported by a detailed, written explanation as to why the E&SC Plan fails to meet State standards.
