As part of Pennsylvania’s recently signed bipartisan budget, PA DEP is initiating the Streamlining Permits for Economic Expansion and Economic Development (“SPEED”) program and the Chapter 105 Permit Pilot Program to reduce backlogs, speed up the permit review process, and have the state government “move at the speed of business”. This pilot program is due to launch this Fall and should reduce DEP permitting time significantly. SDC applauds this bipartisan effort to streamline the permitting process and will continue to follow this program as it is implemented. Stay tuned for more updates!
