When an application for either an easement and/or a removal-fill permit is submitted, DSL first reviews the application(s) for completeness.
Applications determined to be complete are circulated for public review and comment. DSL staff then reviews comments submitted and may request additional information from the applicant or require modifications.
Finally, DSL staff develop a recommendation and findings for the removal-fill permit, and the program Manager conducts a final review whether to approve or deny the removal-fill permit. DSL also develops a recommendation to the Land Board regarding the easement, and the Land Board decides whether to approve or deny the easement.
