The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is announcing our public comment period for the 401 water quality certification of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits:
- Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NPDES Permit for U.S. Department of Defense Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Permit (#WAS026638)
- United States Department of the Navy Naval Base Kitsap Bangor National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (#WA0025577)
We're looking for your feedback
Ecology is seeking feedback on what water quality conditions we should consider to make sure EPA’s permits meet Washington state’s water quality standards. Ecology’s comment period for both 401 certifications will end on March 20, 2023.
The EPA is currently holding its public comment period on the draft permits. We are not accepting comments on the contents of the draft permits. Please direct any comments you have on the draft permits to EPA.
