Apply for a Wastewater Discharge Permit

The Industrial Pretreatment Program controls the release of pollutants into the wastewater system by monitoring the discharge of significant industrial users.

All non-domestic users of the Grand Rapids Sanitary Sewer Service Area, including contributing jurisdictions, are required to complete and submit a non-domestic user survey to collect information on wastewater characteristics, chemical inventory, and pretreatment devices.  Facilities that are SIUs must then apply for a discharge permit to specify discharge standards, limits and conditions.

We will let you know if your facility may require, or does require a discharge permit and to complete a permit application.  Please download and complete the fillable form and email to IPP@grcity.us with the subject line “Permit Application”.
