Introduced
by
To establish a system of expedited review for permits and “remediation action plan” approvals required under state environmental laws. Under the bill, if a permit applicant hired an independent engineer who has been certified as competent by the Department of Environmental Quality, and submitted a determination by that engineer attesting that the application or approval request meets relevant standards, the department would have to process the application within 21 days (with some exceptions), and if it did not the application would be considered approved.
Referred to the Committee on Great Lakes and Environment
