Prior to the commencement of construction, modification, alteration, replacement or
operation of any facility or the commencement of any activity that may cause or be
a source of pollution, or that may impact, eliminate, reduce or control pollution
of the air, ground, groundwaters, surface waters or other natural or biological resources,
the owner and/or operator shall obtain a EPGMD license and pay required fees as established
by resolution of the Board. The director may establish, by policy, de minimis development,
construction, operation, or alteration activities that either by themselves or in
combination with other activities, do not adversely affect the environment or human
health. Those activities designated as de minimis do not require a EPGMD license.
