DEQ Title DW Joint Permit Application
The MDEQ/USACE "Joint Permit Application" (JPA) package covers permit requirements pursuant to state and federal rules and regulations for construction activities where the land meets the water and including wetlands, often referred to as the land/water interface. It is intended to prevent duplication of state and federal regulations. The application covers activities on or for:
 l Wetlands         l Inland Lakes and Streams
 l Floodplains     l Great Lakes Bottom Lands
 l Marinas           l Critical Dunes
 l Dams               l High Risk Erosion Areas
The status of applications processed by the MDEQ/LWMD, as well as current Public Notice and Hearing Notices, can be searched and viewed on the Coastal and Inland Waters Permit Information System (CIWPIS 0n-line). The JPA is now available electronically for on-line submittal through the Michigan Timely Application and Permit Service (MITAPS).
