The Department of Geology and Mineral Industries
(DOGAMI) is excited to announce the launch of our
new online permitting system, DEPS! For the most up-to-date information regarding DEPS, visit us at the MLRR home page.
What is DEPS?
The DOGAMI e-Permitting System (DEPS) is a new online system for submitting and managing permit applications. DEPS has been created to streamline applications and
permit processes that were previously done through a paper submittal process. Supported permit types include the following:
- Aggregate Surface Mining
- Non-Aggregate Surface Mining
- Chemical Process Mining
- Exploration
- Oil & Gas Wells
- Geothermal Wells
Why Are We Transitioning to an Online System?
The industries we regulate and the general public need better access to
information, faster turn-around times, and easier payment methods. We are working to meet
those needs through DEPS!
Key Features
- Online Payments: Pay invoices and fees online using e-Check and ACH payments.
- 24/7 Access to Information: Check the status of your submitted applications,
upcoming reporting obligations, permit renewal dates, scheduled inspections, pay
invoices, and correspond with DOGAMI Mineral Land Regulation & Reclamation (MLRR) staff.
- 24/7 Access to Public Records: Easily access publicly available records and other
public information, such as active applications, issued permits and public notices.
Implementation Timeline & Next Steps
We will be launching the DEPS public portal starting Winter 2026 through Spring 2027. Each of the following programs will be rolled out individually:
- Chemical Process Mining
- Surface Mining (Aggregate and Non-Aggregate)
- Exploration
- Geothermal and Oil & Gas Wells
Current permittees will receive information in the next few months about how to create an
account and use the DEPS online portal.
