Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program: Guidance Development
Guidance development initiated to implement IDAPA 58.01.25 “Rules Regulating the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program”
Status
The next guidance development meeting is scheduled for January 19, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Overview
This guidance development has been initiated to implement IDAPA 58.01.25 "Rules Regulating the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program". These guidance documents will clarify implementation of rules promulgated under a new DEQ rule chapter.
In order to gain approval of the program, DEQ must have rules in place that meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act and federal regulations. These rules establish procedures for submitting permit applications, writing and issuing IPDES permits, filing appeals, fee structures, developing general permits, and other required components of an NPDES program. DEQ negotiated certain elements of the IPDES program including the permit application process, the appeals process, the fee structure, and compliance enforcement with IPDES permits. With respect to required NPDES program components, federal regulations have been incorporated by reference into the proposed rules.
The technical guidance committee will help DEQ staff prepare guidance documents related to the implementation of IDAPA 58.01.25. Topics discussed may include applying for and composing permits, collecting and submitting information for individual or general discharge permits, and documenting procedures, practices, and requirements for permit writers.
