Document Types

The Document Type identifies each document attachment by a specific category for easier identification and location. Everyone on the applicant team and review team can upload documents.

Acceptable File Formats

The table below lists types of documents that can be attached to an ePermitting application. All documents are stored in the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). Each document type has a specific retention schedule, which is defined by regulation.

The size of each document is limited to 50 megabytes (MB).

Note that the same document can be attached only once in the current application cycle. Attachments can be added or deleted only for the current cycle. Attachments from previous application cycles cannot be modified.
