The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is a regulatory agency. Its purpose is environmental protection, which is facilitated through the use of the permitting function. Permits are issued for various reasons by a number of different divisions within DEQ. The "Type of Permit Actions" below identifies the type of permit issued; it is fairly accurate in describing the actual permit subject. In order for the item to be listed as a permit in this table, it needed to possess the following specific characteristics:
1) It had to be required by statute; 2) Its issuance had to give authority to conduct a specific activity, and 3) DEQ had to provide a decision based on established criteria.
