Industrial Permitting
Since 1981, communities across the country have been able to regulate industrial discharges into wastewater treatment plants in order to enhance the ability of those plants to protect human health and the environment. Johnson County Wastewater's Industrial Pretreatment Program extensively regulates industrial wastewater discharges so that toxic materials do not interfere with wastewater treatment systems or pass through to receiving streams. The program issues permits, inspects, and monitors industries to control discharges to the sanitary sewers. This program also investigates instances of illegal and harmful wastewater discharges.
Special Waste Disposal Authorization (SWD)

Long-Term Wastewater Disposal Authorization
Where Required
A Long-Term Wastewater Disposal Authorization is required for industries needing to dispose of wastewater generated from non-routine activities or unforeseen events over an extended period of time. Long-Term Authorizations are non-expiring, unless the wastewater flow and/or characteristics change significantly or the discharge is subsequently determined by the control authority to present a concern to the collection system or treatment plant.
Application
Application requirements vary widely between industries. Please contact JCW to receive application requirements specific to your industry.
