History

Session Law 2013-82 required the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to convene a stakeholder team to help develop fast track permitting rules for issuing state stormwater permits without an initial technical review by DEQ staff.  Fast track permits must be prepared by a qualified professional who will certify that the as-built project will comply with all Minimum Design Criteria (MDC). The new Fast track stormwater permitting process rules became effective January 1, 2017.

Notes:

• The Fast Track Stormwater Permitting process is only available for projects required to apply for a Henderson County stormwater permit from Henderson County Water Quality.
• Not all projects will be eligible for permitting under the Fast Track Process.  Review the eligibility requirements on the ATC permit application form for more information.
• You have a choice.  Even if your project is eligible for the Fast Track Process, you may choose to apply to a stormwater permit under the standard permitting process.
