Discharge permits in District of Columbia

309Current permits
4Major dischargers
19Individual permits

A major discharger is one EPA rates as significant on volume, toxicity or the water it reaches; the rest are minors. An individual permit is written for one operation, while general permit coverage applies a statewide permit to a site that qualifies for it.

This page gathers District of Columbia’s current permits three ways below — by the program they are issued under, by the city of the discharge, and by watershed. It names 3 programs, 6 cities and 12 watersheds. Each list says which set it covers.
