Capabilities
Configured for your permit type. Your jurisdiction. Your workflow.
PermitPro is not generic AI. Every deployment is configured to your specific regulatory framework: your permit types, your agency's logic, your jurisdiction's requirements. Nothing is built until it is scoped, validated, and locked in writing.
Permit types
Air, water, and stormwater programs
Air quality
| Permit type | Regulatory authority |
|---|---|
| Title V operating permits | Clean Air Act Title V, 40 CFR Part 70 |
| State construction air permits | State pre-construction programs, NSPS / NESHAP screening |
| MACT / NESHAP / NSPS applicability screening | 40 CFR Parts 60 and 63 |
Water and stormwater
| Permit type | Regulatory authority |
|---|---|
| NPDES stormwater: construction | Clean Water Act Section 402, CGP, SWPPP / SWMP |
| NPDES stormwater: industrial | Clean Water Act Section 402, IGP, BMP plans |
| NPDES individual permits: wastewater | CWA Section 402, 40 CFR Parts 122 to 125 |
Expanding continuously. PermitPro's regulatory logic engine is designed to accommodate any permit type, any jurisdiction. If your program isn't listed, ask us.
Workflow modules
Four configurable modules. Any permit type.
| Module | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Intake and Document Classification | Ingests and classifies applications, attachments, and supporting documents. Completeness checked against jurisdiction requirements. Deficiency notices generated. |
| 02 | Applicability / Eligibility Analysis | Regulatory logic cross-references applicant data against thresholds, standards, and permit pathways. Flags presented to staff for review. |
| 03 | AI-Drafted Permit Generation | Complete, regulation-compliant permit draft. All conditions populated, all limits extracted, all citations included. Staff reviews and approves. |
| 04 | QA Review and Sign-Off | Structured review journeys with configurable checkpoints. Every output traceable, auditable, and defensible. Every decision logged. |
Example workflow: compliance and enforcement
See it in action: from permit issuance to enforcement action
This workflow illustrates the compliance and enforcement capability on the PermitPro roadmap, building directly on the permitting foundation. DMR refers to a Discharge Monitoring Report; NOV refers to a Notice of Violation.
Without PermitPro: the compliance gap
| Step | Reality |
|---|---|
| DMR submitted by facility | Staff must manually locate the corresponding permit and extract applicable limits |
| Limit comparison | Done by hand, often in a spreadsheet, often weeks after submission |
| Exceedance identified | Depends on staff availability and workload, not systematic |
| NOV drafted | Staff starts from scratch: locates permit, reconstructs violation history, drafts correspondence |
| Enforcement case assembled | Staff manually pulls documents from multiple systems, email threads, and paper files |
| Result | Violations go undetected or unaddressed for months. Enforcement cases are slow to build and difficult to defend. |
With PermitPro: compliance and enforcement on a single platform
| Step | What PermitPro does | Time |
|---|---|---|
| DMR submitted | PermitPro ingests the DMR automatically | Seconds |
| Limit comparison | Platform cross-references DMR values against permit conditions it drafted | Under 2 min |
| Exceedance detected | Staff notified with structured summary: facility, parameter, limit, reported value, variance | Immediate |
| Compliance history surfaced | Platform pulls full compliance record for facility across all permits | Under 1 min |
| NOV draft generated | Platform generates draft Notice of Violation with permit citations, violation detail, and regulatory basis | 10 to 15 min |
| Enforcement case file assembled | Platform compiles intake records, permit draft history, compliance flags, and DMR data into a single case file | Under 5 min |
| Staff reviews, applies judgment, approves | Enforcement staff reviews draft, adds professional judgment, routes for signature | 20 to 30 min |
| Result | Violations are caught systematically. Cases are built on a complete, defensible record. Enforcement actions move faster and hold up better. | — |
The permit PermitPro drafted on day one is the same record that anchors the enforcement case on day 1,000.
