How long does it take to get a permit to discharge wastewater under the WYPDES program?
Most wastewater discharges are covered under individual permits which must be individually drafted for each facility. The proposed permit must then be published for a minimum of 30 days to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the requirements of the permit. On average it takes around 140 days from the submission of a complete application to the issuance of an individual permit. The complexity of your situation and the completeness of the application will affect the time necessary to issue a permit.
