NPDES Permit Writers' Clearinghouse
About the NPDES Permit Writers' Clearinghouse
The NPDES Permit Writers' Clearinghouse is an easily navigable web-based portal to help NPDES authorities make informed decisions for their permits. The NPDES Permit Writers' Clearinghouse is a searchable database containing links to resources such as permits, templates, and webinars that are shared by NPDES authorities.
The NPDES Permit Writers' Clearinghouse was developed by EPA’s Office of Wastewater Management and is populated and used largely by EPA Regions and States. Resources shared by authors or agencies other than the EPA are not endorsed by the EPA, but are provided here to facilitate information sharing between NPDES permitting authorities and practitioners.
This Clearinghouse is specific to NPDES Permit Writers’ resources. Click HERE to learn more about the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program.
