Technical Assistance Webinar Series: Improving CWA-NPDES Permit Compliance
This technical assistance webinar series supports the joint EPA and Authorized State Significant Noncompliance (SNC) Rate Reduction National Compliance Initiative (NCI). The SNC NCI is aimed at improving surface water quality and reducing potential impacts on drinking water by assuring that all Clean Water Act (CWA) – National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPES) permittees are complying with their wastewater discharge permits.
This page includes registration information for upcoming webinars as well as recordings and supplemental materials for past webinars.
Intended Audience: The webinars are intended for plant operators, municipal leaders, technical assistance providers, and compliance inspection staff from federal, state, tribal and local governments. Every plant is unique and plant operators should discuss any major operational change with their NDPES permitting authority.
