For some general information regarding environmentally critical areas, please review our Client Assistance Memos.
2 - Q. How much does a Critical Area Exemption cost?
A. A minimum of 1/2 hour at the DPD hourly rate. The DPD hourly rate is currently $155. The minimum fee is due at application intake. Time beyond the 1/2 hour is charged additionally, if extra time is needed to review the application. That fee is due at issuance of the exemption.
