Discharge permits in Wisconsin

5,859Current permits
87Major dischargers
1,006Individual 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 Wisconsin’s current permits three ways below — by the program they are issued under, by the city of the discharge, and by watershed. It names 5 programs, 506 cities and 864 watersheds. Each list says which set it covers.

Every permit’s record
