CLEAN WATER ACT PERMITS:
IPDES PROGRAM
▪Cities are supporting the funding of IPDES with Permit Fees
▪Opportunities within Idaho:
◦ Integration with Related Programs (TMDLs, site specific criteria)
◦ Compliance Schedule Considerations
◦ Benefits of Bubble or Coordinated Watershed Monitoring & Permitting
IPDES PERMITS – REVIEW & COMMENT OPPORTUNITY
▪ AIC, Members Cities, and Idaho Permit Writers –everyone is on a learning curve▪ Best Practices: ▪ reach out to AIC for additional insight & a second pair of eyes▪ check to see if the discharge authorization reflects the facility operations▪ can your city comply with the effluent limits?
▪if there are new monitoring requirements or stations▪ is the city given enough time to set up a station?▪will the Quality Assurance Program Plan be in place before data collection?▪ is there time to both collect and analyze samples prior to when the data is
required to be reported?
