Applying for Aquatic Farm Operation Permit Renewal

The Aquatic Farm Operation Permit Renewal Application is used to request a renewal of your operation permit. The renewal fee is $100.00 and must be submitted with the completed form.

Apply at least 30 days before a renewal is required.

You may also be required to fill out the Joint-Agency Aquatic Farm Program Application (PDF 934 kB), if you are also renewing your lease with Department of Natural Resources at the same time or if additional information is required to update the operation permit.

An operation permit renewal is subject to review and the permit holder must provide evidence that they have

  • Complied with the terms and conditions of the operation permit
  • The aquatic farm or hatchery continues to demonstrate technical and operational feasibility
  • Applied before 30 days before the expiration date of the operation permit,
