Ala. Admin. Code r. 335-6-6-.01

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 335-6-6-.01 - Purpose

Section 402(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) provides that a state may administer its own permit program for discharges into the navigable waters within its jurisdiction. Such permit program, however, must be comparable to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. It is the purpose of this chapter to establish rules and procedures which will enable the state to administer an NPDES-type permit system for this state and to enforce the provisions of the Alabama Water Pollution Control Act (AWPCA).
