In 1986, Arkansas became the first state in EPA Region 6 authorized to administer the NPDES Permits program. Not counting Storm Water and General Permits, the Enforcement Branch monitors more than 800 NPDES individual permits for facilities located throughout the State of Arkansas.

The monitoring and enforcement of permits is the responsibility of the Enforcement Administrators (EAs). The permits are monitored and enforced by seven EAs. Each EA also has the responsibility for at least one specific class of Wastewater Discharge General Permits.

NetDMR

Electronic DMR submission through EPA's NetDMR web site is now available in Arkansas. Upon completion of NetDMR Permittee Training, permittees will be able to log on to the NetDMR Test site to perform test DMR data entry. After one or more successful transmissions of DMR data, you can create an account, submit a signed Subscriber Agreement to ADEQ, get approval for Signatory authority, and submit your DMR data electronically. For more information, please contact Amy Schluterman in the Enforcement Branch of the Water Division of ADEQ at (501) 682-0633 or schluterman@adeq.state.ar.us.

FAQs

Q. I am thinking of opening a small coin operated car wash, Do I need a permit?

A. That depends on where the wastewater from the car wash is discharged.

If the car wash wastewater is discharged to a municipal sanitary sewer system you will not be required to obtain an NPDES permit, however you will have to make arrangements with the Municipal Sewer Authority before you discharge.

If the wastewater is discharged to a subsurface septic tank field line system, you will not be required to obtain an NPDES Permit, however you will need permission from the the Arkansas Department of Health to insure that the area selected is suitable for subsurface.

If the wastewater is discharged to the surface, you will need to apply for an NPDES General Car/Truck Wash Permit (Series ARG75). Call the Department for an application.

Q. Where are your offices located?

A. The Water Division of ADEQ is located at 5301 Northshore Drive, North Little Rock, AR 72118-5317. Upon arrival you should report to the Reception Desk located in the main lobby to obtain visitor badges.

Q. The only discharge from my facility is soapy water. Since we only use biodegradable soap, Do we need to treat before we discharge it?

A. Yes. You must treat it or discharge it to a municipal sanitary sewer system where it will be treated. Biodegradable does not mean that it won’t cause pollution. If you discharge it to the surface, you will need to obtain an NPDES Permit before commencing the discharge.
