EPA issues notice of proposed and final modification of the expiration date of the eleven (11) NPDES general permits for biosolids in Region 8

The proposal calls for modifying the expiration date of NPDES general permits for facilities or operations that generate, treat, and/or use/dispose of sewage sludge by means of land application, landfill and surface disposal in the states of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming and in Indian country in the states of CO, MT, ND, SD, WY and UT (except for the Goshute Indian Reservation and the Navajo Indian Reservation) from May 12, 2018, to January 15, 2015. The EPA will regulate biosolids through the direct enforceability provision of the regulation.
