FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS
This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require full Fact
Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile home parks, etc)
that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include facilities with more complex
issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance
concerns).
