Wastewater Discharge Permits

Taxonomy Code: JD-6500.9500-900.90

Programs that issue permits which regulate the direct discharge of wastewater to surface waters by industrial, commercial and municipal facilities. The permits limit the amount of pollutants that may be discharged. If the concentration of pollutants is too high, or if its discharges endanger public health or the environment, the facility is in violation of its permit and may be fined and/or forced to upgrade its operation. The permits require compliance with all government standards, where these exist, and may also require additional controls based on local conditions.
