A Letter of Permission (LOP) is a type of individual permit issued through an abbreviated processing procedure. The procedures and standards for issuing LOPs are developed after coordination with Federal and state fish and wildlife agencies, as required by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and a public interest evaluation. A LOP authorization can be issued without requesting public input via issuance of a public notice.
To apply for a Letter of Permission use the Joint Permit Application developed with our State partners (Georgia Department of Natural Resource, Environmental Protection Division and Coastal Resource Division) for use with their State of Georgia Marshland and Protection Permit, Revocable License Agreement, and Water Quality Certification.
