Water Quality Permit Program - NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permits -
Public Notice of NPDES Industrial Stormwater General Permit 1200-COLS Applications

The 1200-COLS permit regulates industrial facilities that discharge stormwater from a point source to the Columbia Slough or to conveyance systems that discharge to the Columbia Slough Watershed.  The permit provides for a public review process for all renewal and new permit applications within the Columbia Slough Watershed. During the 14 calendar day public review period, the public may review the permit application, which describes the industrial facility, and the Stormwater Pollution Control Plan (SWPCP), which describes how stormwater runoff will be controlled on the site, at the DEQ Northwest Region (NWR) office listed below.  Please provide comments by using the comment form provided below, by separate letter or by e-mail using the address listed below.  Only submit water quality-related comments regarding the permit application and SWPCP.  DEQ cannot act on land use-related comments because they are outside the agency's jurisdiction.  DEQ's stormwater technical staff will review your comments and will inform you of the action(s) taken in response to the comments.
