This page provides the ability to search almost 1,500 documents by keyword or phrase. You can select one or more individual compilations or search all. See the following "Search Tips" for suggestions on how to build your query.

Search Tips

By default, a search locates documents containing the search terms specified with the terms that are entered first given more weight than the terms that come after. When you want documents containing any of several words, use commas to separate them.

For example, searching for:

1) "operating permit"

will find documents that contain the phrase operating permit.


2) operating OR permit

will find documents that contain either operating or permit. Note that the OR must be capitalized.


3) operating -permit

will find documents that contains operating and exclude documents that contain permit. Therefore, it will exclude documents that has the phrase "operating permit" in them.
