Online Informational Presentation and Q&A

We are hosting an informational presentation to explain our proposed changes to the permit, followed by a question and answer session. The online presentation will be held via Zoom, a video conferencing platform that allows people to join the meeting with a computer or phone. 

The draft permit and supporting documents are available for review on the Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit webpage.
 

Discharges of excess nutrients—particularly nitrogen—to Puget Sound from domestic wastewater treatment plants are contributing to existing low oxygen levels in Puget Sound and the rest of the Salish Sea. The Clean Water Act and federal rules require facilities that contribute to water quality impairments by discharging excess nutrients to take action to prevent this pollution. The Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit applies to 58 domestic wastewater treatment plants discharging to marine and estuarine waters of the Salish Sea in Washington.
