ORA’s permit process schematics, or flowcharts, show the responsibilities of the applicant, the regulatory agencies, and the public within a specific permit process. They can help you chart out and plan for the permitting process.

Together with our partner agencies, ORA has developed schematics which show you step-by-step how various permit processes work. Subjects covered include: Air, Waste and Toxics, Water Quality, Water Resources, Work in or Near Water, General, and we are adding more all the time!

ORA's schematics help you:

  • Understand how applicants and agencies work together

  • Visualize each step of the process

  • Understand at which stage public comment might be required
