The Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) Water Resources Division has launched MiWaters, a web-based permitting and compliance database focused on National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), storm water, groundwater discharge, aquatic nuisance control, Part 41 construction, and land and water interface permits. The database replaces over 25 outdated databases and includes 5 permitting programs. The program is meant to benefit regulated stakeholders by allowing them to manage their own accounts, submit applications and reports electronically, receive reminders regarding upcoming deadlines, and review past submissions and violations. Permit holders will receive letters in the mail with instructions to register.
