Ground Water Disposal
Occasionally, WEP accepts treated ground water as a
service to contractors. Permits are issued on a case-by-case basis.
Hazardous waste sites
WEP does not accept ground water from hazardous waste sites. A
certification that the site is not a listed hazardous
waste site is required before WEP issues a permit.
Permit requirements
Detailed procedures on the general requirements for
disposal of ground water are available from WEP. See
links below. However, each permit is issued on a
case-by-case basis.
- Application and fee of $200.
- Flow monitoring
Fees are based on the amount of water discharged, among other factors.
- Pretreatment
Ground water remediation activities typically require filtration to remove solids and carbon adsorption to remove organic constituents.
- Laboratory analyses
Samples may be required before treatment (as part of the application process) and during discharge to ensure compliance.
There is no standard application form for a ground
water discharge permit. Applications are generally
submitted in letter format with the materials required
for application as detailed in the WEP's "Procedures
Governing the Acceptance and Treatment of Ground Water
and Other Contaminated Wastewater."
