Overview
The Permit Compliance System (PCS) provides information on companies which have been
issued permits to discharge waste water into rivers. You can review information on when
a permit was issued and expires, how much the company is permitted to discharge, and the
actual monitoring data showing what the company has discharged.
The Water Discharge Permits Query allows you
to retrieve preselected data from the PCS database in Envirofacts. You can narrow your
search by selecting various options including facility name, geographic location,
standard industrial classification, and chemicals. You may also use
the PCS Customized Query to retrieve data and
design a query for your particular needs, using any data element available from the
Envirofacts Warehouse. Customized Queries are primarily geared toward more experienced
users. There is also information on
related laws and regulations.For the technical user there is a graphic model of the PCS database and table and column information.
