Chapter 523 - WASTE DISCHARGE LICENSE CONDITIONS

SUMMARY: This rule contains requirements for conditions which are applicable to all waste discharge licenses (or "permits") or categories of licenses issued by the Department. Additionally, the rule provides procedures and considerations for establishing effluent limitations, compliance schedules, special conditions and monitoring requirements. The content of this rule is largely taken from federal regulations, and most references and terms are in the context of the Code of Federal Regulations. To aid the reader, a citation to the appropriate federal regulation is shown in each section of this rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule became effective upon the approval of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of related parts of the State's application to administer the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program of the Federal Clean Water Act, pursuant to 40 CFR part 123. This approval was granted through a January 12, 2001 (the presumed effective date) letter from Mindy S. Lubber of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to Governor Angus S. King, Jr. The APA Office was notified of this action through a memo, which included a copy of the Lubber letter, from Dennis Merrill of the Department of Environmental Protection dated January 23, 2001.
