WHAT IS A STATEWIDE PERMIT?
Some common constructions activities have been identified that have been determined to be permissible if the project meets certain limitations. For those activities, a statewide permit has been issued. All individual projects that are within the listed limitations for the permit are automatically authorized. If the applicant determines that his proposed work is within the limitations, his project is approved under the statewide permit and he does not need to contact the division for further approval. These permits cover only the IDNR permit requirements.
