Clarifying Water Discharge Permits: New Rules for Pollutant Control
This new law aims to clarify what constitutes compliance with water discharge permits. It provides clearer rules for businesses and individuals regarding which substances are covered by their permits, potentially increasing transparency and predictability in water environmental protection efforts.
Key points
The act specifies that permit compliance covers not only pollutants with set limits but also those monitored by other means or identified during the permit application process.
It mandates that all water quality-based limitations in permits must be clearly stated, including the specific pollutant and its numerical limit or the precise waterbody conditions to be achieved.
