How to Find Air Documents Online

Air Permit Document Search

Air Permit Document Search is a user-friendly method to view air permit documents online. Air permits have been zipped and posted online for more than 10 years, and Electronic Permit Submittal and Processing System (EPSAP) applications may be viewed on the site as well. Scanned supporting documents may be found but should probably be accessed using OCULUS. In a future project, Air Permit Document Search (APDS) will be changed so that it will access documents from OCULUS, the electronic document management system of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

DEP Information Portal (Nexus)

The DEP Information Portal is a user-friendly way of accessing data and OCULUS documents associated with a permitted facility across DEP programs. Data included in this search includes location on aerial map, permits, program specific facility information, etc.

OCULUS (Electronic Document Management System)

OCULUS is DEP's general document management tool. Documents and the data related to the documents are searchable by basic information. Download the the following guide for detailed instructions.

Disclaimer: Not all documents are available in OCULUS. Some documents may not be available in OCULUS because they are exempt public records. DEP has made a reasonable effort to ensure that the information provided is up-to-date and comprehensive but cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the data. Any specific, missing information may be obtained by a file review for the particular facility at the appropriate DEP district office or local program office.
