Air Monitoring notices

Q: Can I notify for my air monitoring project through this system?

A: Yes. Consultants may notify and pay for air monitoring through this system. Enter your account and you will see unpaid notices at the top of the screen and paid notices on the bottom of the screen.

Q: How do I notify? There is nothing for me to fill out.

A: Log into your account. You will see a list of projects your firm is associated with. Simply click the "Print Notice" link for the project you wish to notify for and your notice will generate as a pdf. You may now fax, email or snail mail the notice to MDH.

Amending

Q: Can I amend my current notices through this system?

A: Yes. Contractors may now amend their notifications online.

Q: My job has been postponed indefinitely. Can I still amend it?

A: Yes. Just be sure to amend the end date far enough out so that it will not expire and disappear from the online system. Once a permit expires and disappears from the online system, it cannot be "re-loaded".

Entering an original notice

Q: Can two or more people within the company log-in with a different email address and password?

A: No. The system is designed to deliver notice and payment confirmations to one e-mail address only (i.e. Asbestos@Abatement.com, R.E.Moval@AOL.com, etc). If contractors wish to give multiple employees access to their notification account, it is up to the contractor to determine who has access to the e-mail account and the password.

Q: Can I save my unfinished notification and get back to it later?

A: Yes. 

Q: Can I notify for an emergency permit online?

A: Yes. The system will allow for emergency notifications.

Q: Can I enter multiple notices and pay for them at one time?

A: No. You must pay for each notice as it is entered. 

Q: I am conducting an outside demolition project. Since air monitoring is not required for my project, do I still have to pick an air monitor?

A: No. Since you are not required to conduct air monitoring, do not select an Air Monitoring Consultant.
