The joint-agency application package has two parts: Part 1 (this section) and Part II, Instructions and Application. Part I provides you with information about the application process, requirements, and guidance for aquatic farm site development and explains how to obtain the authorizations required to site, develop, and operate your aquatic farm. Part II of the package contains the application and instructions. The joint-agency consolidated application helps minimize the paperwork needed to obtain authorizations for an aquatic farm.
