What is an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit?

  • Wastewater discharges from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could affect the quality of receiving waters or interfere with publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) that receive those discharges.
  • The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program establishes discharge limits and conditions for industrial and commercial sources with specific limitations based on the type of facility/activity generating the discharge.

Revisions and Modifications to Wastewater permit

  • Changes in Ownership
  • 25% or more change in wastewater quantity/quality
  • Modifications to the wastewater conveyance/pretreatment system
  • Permits are issued on a case-by-case basis for facilities. Revisions or changes to a permit occur with the following:
  • Permit expirations, dependent on the permit specifications. Usually every 3 years, but varies on the jurisdiction

What is a Self Monitoring Report and why is sampling required?

  • Sampling is a method to monitor internally, usually with the assistance of a third party contractor.
  • Most permits require a notification to be made to the sanitation district, in the event, they want to be present or to send an inspector into the sewerage systems for a reference sample.
  • The sampling frequency is dependent on the volume of wastewater discharged, specific industry, history of compliance, and material processes.
