Do All Dewatering Operations Require an NPDES Permit?
No. Depending on the type and/or quality of the water to be discharged, other options that do not require an NPDES permit are available. These include discharging to a landowner or facility by special agreement, re-use as construction site water, discharge to a sanitary sewer, or use of a sub-contractor such as Green Clean that specializes in the removal, transportation, and disposal of dewatering effluent.
