Construction Permits In Progress

Permit applications will be reviewed in the order that they are received. Applicants will be contacted if any additional information is required to complete the permit application process.

The amount of review time required for a permit application is dependent on a variety of factors (completeness of the application, complexity of the review, number of applications currently under review, current staffing levels/expertise, etc.).

Questions may be addressed to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality at 701-328-5188, or email (AirQuality@nd.gov).
