SCS Regulatory Alert: Industrial Storm Water Permit Coverage for Wisconsin Landfills
September 13, 2016
For years, Wisconsin landfills have relied on compliance with the storm water (stormwater) management requirements in the Chapter NR 500 code series to achieve compliance with the NR 216 storm water standards. Effective June 15, 2016, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) changed their policy, and now requires landfills and associated non-commercial borrow sites to obtain separate industrial storm water permit coverage.
September 19, 2016, submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) form to WDNR.
WDNR will review your NOI and determine if your facility can be covered under the Tier 2 Industrial Storm Water Permit.
January 31, 2017, submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Summary Form. This also requires preparation of a SWPPP report designed to prevent storm water discharges of pollutants to waters of the state.
