Wastewater General Permits
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is authorized under Section 283.35, Wis. Stats. [exit DNR], to issue Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) general permits to a designated area of the state authorizing discharges from specified categories or classes of point sources located within that area. A general permit is designed to cover multiple facilities under one permit when they perform similar operations, produce the same type of wastewater streams, employ similar wastewater treatment operations, or are subject to similar effluent limitations and monitoring requirements in accordance with s. NR 205.08(1)(b), Wis. Adm. Code.
NOTE: Expired General Permit: If a permittee submitted a complete and timely NOI to be covered by a WPDES general permit, all conditions of an expired general permit shall continue to apply until the effective date of a new general permit.

Apply
- How to Apply
-
Starting on July 1, 2022, applicants submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under any wastewater general permit must submit an electronic NOI (eNOI). The eNOI is available on the online ePermitting System by logging in through the Water Permit Applications webpage. Paper NOIs will no longer be accepted by the department for wastewater general permits.
For an applicant to obtain coverage under a general permit, the applicant must:
- Determine if a WPDES permit is required for the discharge activity by answering the general applicability questionnaire available (NOTE: if applying for the Satellite Sewage Collection System or Ballast Water Discharge General Permit, please skip to Step 2).
- After you have completed the general applicability questionnaire, please answer the additional applicability questionnaire available for each general permit. Links to the additional applicability questionnaires are available at the end of the questionnaire above or available under the general permit documents. If the additional applicability questionnaire is not available for the general permit, please review the applicability section of the general permit.
- After you have completed the additional applicability questionnaire available for the general permit, please complete and submit an electronic notice of intent (eNOI) for the general permit to the department at least thirty (30) days before the expected start date of discharge pursuant to s. NR 205.08(3), Wis. Adm. Code, and 40 CFR Part 127.
Applicants must submit the eNOIs to obtain coverage under any general permit. The eNOI is available for use on the online ePermitting System by logging in through the Water Permit Applications webpage. The ePermitting System does not require any special software and is completely web-based and available using any internet browser. Applicants must have or create a Wisconsin Web Access Management System (WAMS) ID to access the eNOI. If the applicant already has a WAMS ID, then the applicant does not need to recreate one and they may access the eNOI.
For the Ballast Water Discharge General Permit, the eNOI is available on the Ballast Water General Permit Process webpage.
Instructions, user guides and videos are available for the ePermitting System and eNOIs can be found below under the “User Support Tools” table.
User Support Tools ePermitting System User Guide for Wastewater General Permits [PDF] Instructional training videos for getting started on your water permit application - Fee Overview
-
The department does not charge permit application fees or annual fees for most wastewater general permits, with one exception. The exception is the ballast water discharge general permit, which charges a $1,200 application fee and $345 annual fee as required by s. 283.35(1m), Wis. Stats.
- Average Review Process
-
- Notice of intent: 14 to 30 days
Note: The review time period begins from the date that a complete NOI has been received by the department. Additionally, there is no review time period provided in Wisconsin statutes or administrative code for granting coverage under a general permit.
Coverage
Permit coverage
Following the submittal of a complete NOI to the department, the applicant shall receive a letter from the department granting them coverage under a general permit prior to commencing discharge to a water of the state pursuant to s. NR 205.08(3), Wis. Adm. Code.
If the applicant has not received a letter from the department granting them coverage under a general permit, an applicant may not discharge to a water of the state until coverage under the general permit is granted by the department. Failure to obtain coverage under a WPDES permit for a discharge to a water of the state may be in violation of state law under s. 283.31, Wis. Stats. and you could be prosecuted.
Coverage under a general permit is effective upon the date specified in the department coverage letter. If a permittee submitted a complete and timely NOI to be covered by a general permit, the terms and conditions of an expired general permit shall continue to apply until the effective date of a new general permit based on s. NR 205.07(1)(n), Wis. Adm. Code and 40 CFR Part 122.28(b)(2)(i).
Reporting
Submittal of electronic discharge monitoring reports (eDMRs)
The permittee shall submit wastewater discharge monitoring data as required under the general permit on an electronic discharge monitoring report (eDMR) form in accordance with s. NR 205.07(1)(r), Wis. Adm. Code. The eDMR form is available through the Switchboard. The eDMRs are due 21 days following the end of the reporting period/frequency. For instance, if a parameter is to be sampled quarterly, the eDMRs are due 21 days following the end of each quarter. The eDMR shall be submitted to the department regardless whether or not there is a discharge during any reporting period and the flow rate shall be reported when there is no flow or discharge on a day.
In order to access the eDMR forms, you must have or create a Wisconsin Web Access Management System (WAMS) ID and request access for each facility for which you intend to submit data. The Switchboard can be used to create a WAMS ID and register with your contact information and user roles. If you already have a WAMS ID, then you do not need to recreate one but must still request access to each facility for which you intend to submit data.
Submittal of Paper Discharge Monitoring Reports
When an eDMR is not available, the permittee shall submit paper discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) to the department no later than the date indicated on the DMR form. The DMR must be submitted to the department regional office identified on the letter granting coverage under the applicable general permit. (The contacts for each general permit can be found in the Contacts tab). The DMR must summarize the monitoring information and show all the required sample results for the general permit discharge. Failure to submit a complete DMR may result in a violation of the general permit conditions.
Transfer
Permit coverage transfers
A permit is not transferrable to any person except after notice to the department. Permittees that wish to transfer general permit coverage to a new permittee must submit a Transfer of Coverage (TOC, Form 3400-222) pursuant to ss. NR 203.136(p) and NR 205.07(1)(i), Wis. Adm. Code and 40 CFR Part 122.61. All TOCs shall be completed by both the existing and new permittees including the “Certification and Signature” section and sent via mail or email to the department. The department will then send a letter to the existing permittee stating that their coverage is terminated under this general permit.
If the quality or quantity of the discharge has not changed at the facility, the department will send a coverage letter to the new permittee under this general permit. If there have been significant changes at the permitted facility, the new permittee shall submit a new NOI to the department.
Note: Permittees must submit all required reporting to the department before permit coverage can be transferred.
