Welcome to the online Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) e-Permits interface, established for projects that disturb one or more acres of earth that must apply for coverage under a Permit for Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity, and obtain coverage under that permit before beginning earth disturbance on any part of the project. Projects that initially disturb less than one acre, but that are part of a plan of development that will ultimately disturb one acre or more, must also obtain coverage before beginning earth disturbance on the first part of the project.
