Section 92a.75. Reissuance of expiring permits

(a) A permittee who wishes to continue to discharge after the expiration date of its NPDES permit shall submit an application for reissuance of the permit at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the permit unless permission has been granted for a later date by the Department. The application fees specified in § 92a.26 (relating to application fees) apply.

(b) Upon completing review of the application, the Department may reissue a permit if, based on up-to-date information on the permittee’s wastewater treatment practices and the nature, contents and frequency of the permittee’s discharge, the Department determines that:

(1) The permittee is in compliance with existing Department-issued permits, regulations, orders and schedules of compliance, or that any noncompliance with an existing permit has been resolved by an appropriate compliance action.

(2) The discharge is, or will be under a compliance schedule issued under § 92a.51 (relating to schedules of compliance) and other applicable regulations, consistent with the applicable water quality standards, effluent limitations or standards and other legally applicable requirements established under this title, including revisions or modifications of the standards, limitations and requirements that may have occurred during the term of the existing permit.
