E-Submission exempt forms

We offer some flexible options to submit data, apply for permits, or file reports. For instance, contractors can apply online for a construction stormwater permit, or a plant operator can file required water quality reports directly into an Ecology database. We are required by law to notify the public about the documents that are exempt from the electronic submittal process. See the list below.
