Submit Your Engineer Project for Review
Submit documents using the appropriate regional office link below. Engineering documents submitted for review must be sent in PDF format, and as appropriate, stamped, signed, and dated. Submittals with multiple documents should be uploaded in a ZIP file, and although PDF format is preferred, supporting information can be in any Microsoft Office format. Not adhering to the requested formats may result in a delay of review.

Checklists for Plans and Specification Reviews
Checklists can help ensure that important but nonroutine considerations are addressed and the application package is complete. Completed checklists can also expedite the plan and specification review.
Before filling out the following checklists, contact the DEQ regional office in the area where your project will be located for specific instructions.
Complete a General Plan and Specification Review Checklist for each project; use others as required for particular projects.
- Review our checklists, guidance, and forms to assist with plan and specification reviews.
Guidance for Engineers and Developers
Guidance does not have the force and effect of law or rule. It is designed to help those impacted by agency actions to comply with laws and rules. The documents may include memoranda, manuals, policy statements, interpretations of law or rules, and other materials that are of general applicability, whether prepared by the agency alone or jointly with other persons. In some cases, guidance consists of recommended best management practices.
