Current Permits & Forms: UPDES Permitting Program

Individual Permits

General Information

The prospective permittee will be required to obtain Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) Individual Permit coverage when the surface water discharge cannot be covered by a UPDES General Permit. This coverage is required by the Clean Water Act in an effort to protect our nation’s waters. In most cases, this will require the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to run a Wasteload Analysis, which will evaluate the impact of the discharge on the receiving water body to ensure that the discharge will not have a negative impact on that water body. For more information on UPDES, see Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R317-8.

UPDES Individual Permits may include additional programs such as Pretreatment, Biosolids, and Reuse, if applicable.

The UPDES Individual Permit may include Pretreatment Requirements, or DWQ may issue a separate Pretreatment Individual Permit. For more information on Pretreatment, see UAC R317-8-8.  For additional information, contact Jennifer Robinson (jenrobinson@utah.gov).

The UPDES Individual Permit may incorporate a Biosolids Permit, or DWQ may issue a separate Biosolids Individual Permit. For more information on Biosolids, see 40 Code of Federal Regulations 503 for the Disposal of Sewage Sludge (biosolids). For additional information, contact Daniel Griffin (dgriffin@utah.gov).

The UPDES Individual Permit may include Reuse Requirements, or DWQ may issue a separate Operating Permit to cover Reuse Activity. For more information on Reuse Requirements, see UAC R317-3-11. For additional information, contact Jennifer Berjikian (jberjikian@utah.gov).

UPDES Individual Permits located within the Colorado River Basin may also include additional requirements to further control salinity within the Colorado River Basin portion of Utah, as authorized in UAC R317-2-4. For additional information, contact Jeff Studenka (jstudenka@utah.gov) or Jennifer Berjikian (jberjikian@utah.gov)
