Some WWMD permitting programs go through a public comment process prior to making final determination on an application. Public notices, fact sheets and draft permits/certifications for applications currently under consideration are available in PDF format and may be downloaded.

Pursuant to Title 10 Chapter 220 a Notice of Appeal of a permit decision may be filed with the Environmental Court within 30 days of the date of the decision.  A list of permit decisions is updated regularly.

The above programs all have compliance and enforcement components as well as permit issuance responsibilities.

The division provides technical assistance and educational opportunities to wastewater treatment facility operators and site technicians and in cooperation with State, regional and national organizations the division supports and/or co-sponsors opportunities that enhance the technical abilities of our regulated communities as well as our own engineering staff.

Within these Wastewater Management Division pages you will find the rules and regulations under which each program regulates activities, application forms, information about the training opportunities for the individuals we license, lists of those individuals, information sheets and other related links.

Please view the Staff and Location page to find maps for our regional offices. The page also shows names and e-mail addresses for all division personnel in the Barre, Essex Junction, Rutland, Springfield, St. Johnsbury and Waterbury offices.
