020-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-5

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 1-5 - Standards Enforcement

The numerical and narrative standards contained within these regulations shall be used to establish effluent limitations for those discharges requiring control via permits to discharge in the case of point sources and best management practices in the case of nonpoint sources. If no permit or best management practice has been issued or implemented for a pollution source the state may, in addition to other appropriate legal action, take direct action to enforce these standards.

The processes used to implement the standards are described in various implementation documents adopted by the department. Such documents are adopted with full public participation and include, but are not limited to, the Implementation Policies for Antidegradation, Mixing Zones and Dilution Allowances, Turbidity and Use Attainability Analysis, the Wyoming Continuing Planning Process (CPP) and best management practices.

These regulations shall not be interpreted to preclude the establishment of appropriate compliance schedules for permitting purposes nor shall compliance with the conditions of these regulations exempt any discharger from the penalty provisions of W.S. 35-11-901.
