Complying with General Permit WQG200000

After obtaining coverage under General Permit WQG200000 for wastewater generated from livestock manure compost operations you should:

• Obtain a copy of General Permit WQG200000 and adhere to its requirements. (Help with PDF.)

• Complete all testing required by the permit. Keep records of this testing on site.

• Send us a letter to notify us if any of these changes occur:

  • You realize that you failed to submit to us any facts relevant to the decsion to approve coverage.

  • You realize that you submitted incorrect information in the NOI.

  • Information that you had submitted changes. (But if the change is a new owner or operator, you must terminate coverage as described below.)

• Send us a letter to request termination of coverage under this general permit if any of these circumstances occur:

  • All discharges authorized by the permit are eliminated.

  • The operation is transferred to a new owner.

  • The operator changes.

Remember: Even if your operation no longer discharges wastewater, permit coverage will remain active until you request termination. If your coverage is active September 1 of any given year, you will owe a water quality fee for that year. See Proposed Increases to Three Water–Related Fees for more information.
