OVERVIEW

  • Shaping the direction of the national NPDES permit program;
  • Producing policies and regulations;
  • Developing technical and administrative tools to support permit issuance;
  • Tracking and managing critical information related to permit issuance, permit quality, and point source pollution abatement;
  • Overseeing the programs managed by the States and Regional Offices; and
  • Providing access to information on NPDES permitting to promote increased awareness and involvement in the NPDES permitting process.
