What is an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit?
- Wastewater discharges from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could affect the quality of receiving waters or interfere with publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) that receive those discharges.
- The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program establishes discharge limits and conditions for industrial and commercial sources with specific limitations based on the type of facility/activity generating the discharge.

What is a Self Monitoring Report and why is sampling required?
- Sampling is a method to monitor internally, usually with the assistance of a 3rd party contractor.
- Most permits require a notification to be made to the sanitation district, in the event, they want to be present or to send an inspector into the sewerage systems for a reference sample.
- The sampling frequency is dependent on the volume of wastewater discharged, specific industry, history of compliance, and material processes.
