As part of ADEQ’s ongoing commitment to increase transparency about its environmental permitting activities and to better serve Arizonans and the regulated community, everyone can conveniently get information about the most complex environmental permits ADEQ is working on in their neighborhood and statewide using the Individual Permits in Process (PIP) interactive map and reporting tool. The PIP map provides the status of all individual permits in process with the agency across all divisions – Air Quality, Waste Programs and Water Quality.
- Arizonans can use these tools online, 24/7, to learn about facilities and environmental permitting using a computer or a smartphone.
- Individual permit applicants can easily track the progress of their application and know which ADEQ employee to contact directly with permitting questions.
To find individual permit(s) information and status, users can search the PIP map by permit licensing time frame (LTF) number and/or geographically.
