We invite you to comment on the modified draft permit no. WA0052078.

The modified draft permit we propose to issue to Dairgold Sunnyside authorizes the discharge of treated industrial wastewater to Joint Drain 33.4 and the Port of Sunnyside Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility.

Background

We regulate wastewater released from municipalities and industries using the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater Discharge Permit. This permit regulates wastewater that goes directly into lakes, rivers, Puget Sound, or the ocean (surface water). All wastewater must be treated and meet the applicable water quality standards before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life. Learn more about water quality individual permits.
