Georgia Environmental Permitting
Sensible environmental regulations allow Georgia to maintain both a clean environment and a healthy business climate. The state offers businesses a permitting process that cuts through red tape and saves months during the critical startup period.
The Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has developed an innovative, one-stop permitting process that can handle all requests for permits required by state and federal environmental-protection legislation. This coordinated permit procedure provides adequate review of environmental considerations without the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. This often saves 12 to 24 months for a prospective business.
