WYPDES
The Federal Clean Water Act requires regulation of point source pollutant discharges into surface waters. In the state of Wyoming, such discharges are regulated under the Wyoming Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WYPDES) Program.
Operators with point source surface discharges to Wyoming surface waters are required to obtain permit coverage under the WYPDES Program. WYPDES permits contain limitations and/or conditions protective of state and federal surface water quality standards.’ Discharges occurring within the boundaries of the Wind River Indian Reservation are regulated by the Region 8 EPA office in Denver, CO.
