The Combined Environmental Regulatory Information System – North Dakota (CERIS-ND) is an online portal for the regulated community for permitting, licensing, reporting and notifications. CERIS-ND makes environmental compliance permitting and reporting easier and it allows environmental records to be open to the regulated community and public, increasing transparency. CERIS-ND includes:

• E-Permitting & Licensing
• Electronic reporting and notifications
• Data hub for public transparency

The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality is transitioning some programs to CERIS-ND. Currently the Division of Air Quality and the Division of Water Quality’s North Dakota Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPDES) permits program are utilizing CERIS-ND. All Air Quality regulated entities are required to submit using CERIS-ND. All NDPDES regulated entities are required to submit using CERIS-ND unless a temporary waiver has been obtained. 

To Access CERIS-ND:

 Access CERIS-ND  ^{Log-In Required to Submit} (for regulated community)

 CERIS-ND Open Records (for general public access to view records)

Note that the records in CERIS-ND may not be complete. If there are documents that are not in CERIS-ND, please submit an Open Records Request for those records.
