^* Totals may not reconcile because:
— Many permits received at the end of one year do not receive a status (Approved, Denied, etc.) until the following year;
— Data includes 21 permits from 1985-1987 (and others) that contain incomplete information, such as no status and/or no receive date.

Note: Approved combines "Acknowledged" under the streamlined Notification procedure, and "Issued" under the full Permit procedure (for most purposes, there is no difference)
