General Guidance:
Proposals are grouped by application type and organized in a sortable table. The tables are updated on a regular basis as new applications are deemed complete and move through the leasing process.
Selecting linked content within a row will open the respective documents or notices. If there is no document or other materials associated with the processing milestone, then no link is included.
STANDARD LEASE APPLICATIONS
This table includes draft standard and final standard applications that have been deemed complete by the Department. Standard lease applicants are required to submit a draft application prior to scheduling a scoping session. Final applications are submitted after the scoping session. These proposals are for new standard lease sites.
