EPA Permitting Clause Samples
The EPA Permitting clause establishes the requirement for obtaining and maintaining all necessary permits from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before commencing certain activities or operations. In practice, this clause obligates the responsible party—often a contractor or facility operator—to secure relevant environmental permits, such as those for air emissions, water discharges, or hazardous waste handling, and to comply with all associated regulatory conditions. Its core function is to ensure legal compliance with environmental laws, thereby minimizing the risk of regulatory violations and potential penalties.

EPA Permitting. Upon authorization of the State Program, EPA will suspend issuance of Federal permits for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities for which the State is receiving authorization. If EPA promulgates standards for additional regulations mandated by HSWA that are not covered by the State’s authorized program, EPA will issue and enforce RCRA permits in the State for these new regulations until the State receives final authorization for equivalent State standards. As the State receives authorization for additional provisions of HSWA, EPA will suspend issuance of Federal permits in the State for those provisions. If EPA promulgates new standards requiring a permit modification, EPA may, pursuant to 40 CFR §270.42(b)(6)(vii), extend the time period for final approval or denial of a modification request until such time that the State receives authorization for the new standards. EPA will transfer any pending permit applications, completed permits or pertinent file information to the State within thirty (30) days of the approval of the State Program or other mutually agreed upon schedule in conformance with the conditions of this MOA.
