Slaughterhouses
This website provides information on the appropriate Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) permit(s) for those interested in the construction and operation of small wastewater systems, specifically slaughterhouses (aka meat processors or meat packing plants).
Underground Injection Control (UIC) Permit coverage for slaughterhouse-derived waste discharge is required under Wyoming Water Quality Rules (WWQR) Chapter 27. Permit coverage is required to protect groundwater and human health. Certain constituents within slaughterhouse-derived waste can negatively impact groundwater quality; groundwater is often used to supply domestic drinking water to public and private users.

Aquifer Prioritization Project
This project developed a method to prioritize aquifers for groundwater monitoring based on their geology and potential contaminant sources.
Groundwater Vulnerability Mapping Project
GIS coverage maps and reports are available for each county. Please run the Autorun.exe in each county's zip file to access all data except the maps. To access map data, please download the shapefiles separately and import them into ArcMap.
Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Program

Pesticide Monitoring Program
Wyoming's Pesticide Monitoring Program is a cooperative monitoring effort between the Wyoming Dept. of Agriculture and the US Geologic Survey (USGS). Since 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, has been sampling groundwater in Wyoming. Sampling of surface water for pesticides began in 2006.
Groundwater and surface water data, maps, and reports, including fact sheets are available for each county.
