The Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB) is the official notice bulletin of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Notices in the ENB are organized geographically using the 9 DEC regions framework. Activities such as regulatory changes that would affect the entire state would be listed in the statewide section, which appears before the individual regional sections.
In the ENB you will find notices related to:
- complete applications for environmental permits administered under the Uniform Procedures Act (UPA);
- State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) for activities that are being reviewed by state and local agencies;
- DEC hearings;
- proposed and adopted changes to DEC policy;
- technical guidance and regulations; and
- an assortment of other environmental notices.
The following items are not published in the ENB: job listings or general requests for proposals, and it does not accept advertising; notices of local municipal meetings; notices of local hearings; resolutions; findings statements; local laws; scoping documents; unlisted negative declarations; or Type II actions.
