⚠️ Online Application Portal Maintenance October 9-14

Starting at 4 PM on Friday, October 9, the OWR Application Portal and DAFE Application Portal will be unavailable for scheduled maintenance. The portals are expected to be available again on Wednesday, October 14.

  • OWTS professionals: Submit inspection requests for October 9 by 3:30 PM Thursday, October 8. After that deadline, Start of Construction, Bottom, Cover, and Reinspection requests will not be accepted until October 14. Requests submitted October 14 will be scheduled for October 15. Soil Evaluations will continue as scheduled during the outage. All other application and permitting functions will remain available through 4 PM on October 9. For assistance, use the OWR Application Portal Ticket System.
     
  • Pesticide License and Certificate Holders: Customers must complete their renewals by the applicable deadline. Renewals completed after the applicable deadline and 60-day grace period will be considered late and will require the applicator to retake the certification exam. Please plan ahead and complete your renewal on time to avoid having to retake the exam.

Please plan ahead and submit applications, renewals, and inspection requests before applicable deadlines. We appreciate your patience as DEM completes these system improvements.
