Tennessee - Industrial General Permit News

Updated (July 26, 2007) - The Tennessee Multi-Sector General NPDES Permit (TMSP) expired on December 31, 2006. The permit remained in force and effect until the new permit issued. Coverage was administratively extended for facilities that did not request termination of coverage from the last day of the year until the new TMSP permit is issued. Covered facilities should continue to follow the terms of the expired permit.
During the comment period of the draft TMSP, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry plus several other commenters asked that the TMSP will not be issued until after the Federal MSP. It is anticipated that the Federal MSP may be issued by September 30, 2007. In that case, the division will issue the new permit by the end of the year.

Wyoming - Industrial General Permit Renewal

Per Wyoming DEQ -
Completion of the draft permit is behind schedule. The draft should be out for public comment around the first week of August. This means it will not be ready before the expiration of the current permit. Permit coverage under the existing permit, for all currently covered operators, will be continued until the new permit is issued. All operators should continue to comply with that permit. A renewal mailing for the new permit is now expected for mid-September. (7/07)
