The Department of Environmental Quality will be presenting the Water and Wastewater Construction Permits Workshop on December 3, at Lansing Community College's West Campus. 

This one-day seminar will show communities, developers, and consulting firms how to ensure the quickest review and permitting of projects.  Along with reviewing checklists and common problems that may delay processing of applications, the DEQ will review its expedited and streamlined processes for water main and sewer main construction permitting to provide for even faster application reviews and permit issuances.  Anyone involved in water and sewer construction permitting should attend.

The cost to attend the workshop is $125 and includes workshop materials, lunch, and refreshments.  Registration can be done on-line at www.michigan.gov/deqworkshops(click on "Upcoming DEQ Workshops").  For registration information, contact the Environmental Assistance Center at 1-800-662-9278, or e-mail at deq-ead-env-assist@michigan.gov.
