Recent General Permit Authorizations

The DEQ Water Quality Division accepts comments on all permits authorized under a general permit for a period of 30 days, as provided for in W.S. 35-11-801(d).

Interested persons may mail or fax comments to the main Cheyenne office. The ‘Date’ column in the table below indicates the date the authorization was posted to the website. Comments must be received before 5:00 pm on the 30th day after the authorization was posted to the website. For example, comments for an authorization posted on 10/1/18 must be received by 5:00 p.m. on 10/31/18. DEQ does not accept emailed comments.

You may sort the table by posting date or search for the type of general permit, the county where the permit was issued, the permit number, or the name of the person or company to whom the permit was issued.

Rules and Regulations

All official Wyoming State Rules and Regulations are kept at the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office. Click here to view all current Rules and Regulations.

Class I

All commercial disposal wells in Wyoming are regulated by the UIC Program as Class I injection wells.  Class I wells inject industrial, municipal and hazardous wastes below the deepest Underground Source of Drinking Water (USDW).  Currently, all permitted Class I wells are for the injection of non-hazardous waste.  WQRR Chapter 27 governs the installation and operation of Class I wells. You may download the current version from the Secretary of State’s Office website.

The Class I Well Application form and instructions are located in the “Forms and Guidance” tab above.  

The UIC Program strongly encourages applicants to schedule a pre-application meeting to discuss the project in general and potential concerns.  The UIC Program will not make permitting or technical decisions at this meeting.

Please be advised that the UIC Program requires Class I permit renewals to be submitted 180 days prior to permit expiration.
