MIDAS and e-Permitting
MIDAS is the Land Quality Division’s (LQD) new site for electronic permitting and reporting, and will be used to submit and review applications, upload and view reports, and view data and correspondence.
MIDAS functionalities include:
- Online applications for new permits
- Online applications for modifications to existing permits
- Application status tracking
- Online application review process
- Uploading Annual Reports and Monitoring Reports
- Viewing and downloading LQD Inspection Reports
- Viewing and downloading correspondence
- Viewing all data that LQD tracks about an operator’s permits
- Permit viewing by individuals from other State and Federal agencies (as permissioned by LQD)
Individual MIDAS users gain access to the e-permitting system after obtaining authentication credentials from the State of Wyoming, DEQ, and LQD. It is a simple, but secure process.
Why should you use MIDAS?
MIDAS was designed to enhance the efficiency and consistency of the LQD program and to provide a user-friendly interface for operators to submit and view information about their permits. User benefits include:
- Increased efficiency for opertors in permit application preparation and the submittal process
- Greatly reduced cost of application preparation through elimination/reduction of paper and copying costs
- Increased efficiency in application review and permit processing
- Increased efficiency for operators and LQD in permit document management
- A single version of "the truth" - All individuals with an interest in a permit view the same permit documents instead of multiple copies where inconsistencies among permit documents may occur
How to get started:
MIDAS was launched in December of 2014, and is available now for e-permitting. If you are interested in e-permitting, please refer to the "Getting Started" link under Resources in the left menu. This section provides instructions for obtaining authentication credentials and permission in MIDAS, which is required for all users. For operators who already have permits, please contact your permit coordinator to determine an approach for converting your paper permit to an electronic format.

Water Quality Division:
WYPDES applications, which includes eDMR, have to comply with 40 CFR § 122.22 – Signatories to permit applications and reports (applicable to State programs, see § 123.25).
(a) Applications. All permit applications shall be signed as follows:
(1) For a corporation. By a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this section, a responsible corporate officer means: (i) A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decision- making functions for the corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures.
Note: EPA does not require specific assignments or delegations of authority to responsible corporate officers identified in § 122.22(a)(1)(i) . The Agency will presume that these responsible corporate officers have the requisite authority to sign permit applications unless the corporation has notified the Director to the contrary. Corporate procedures governing authority to sign permit applications may provide for assignment or delegation to applicable corporate positions under § 122.22(a)(1)(ii) rather than to specific individuals.
(2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship. By a general partner or the proprietor, respectively; or
(3) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency. By either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For purposes of this section, a principal executive officer of a Federal agency includes: (i) The chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) a senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrators of EPA). This space was intentionally left blank.
(b) All reports required by permits, and other information requested by the Director shall be signed by a person described in paragraph (a) of this section, or by a duly authorized representative of that person. A person is a duly authorized representative only if:
(1) The authorization is made in writing by a person described in paragraph (a) of this section;
(2) The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field, superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual or position having overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company, (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying a named position.) and,
(3) The written authorization is submitted to the Director.
(c) Changes to authorization. If an authorization under paragraph (b) of this section is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section must be submitted to the Director prior to or together with any reports, information, or applications to be signed by an authorized representative.
(d) Certification. Any person signing a document under paragraph (a) or (b) of this section shall make the following certification:
I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
