Wastewater
EGLE has the responsibility to protect the public health and the environment by ensuring wastewater is properly handled and treated safely. This is achieved through a series of programs that provide:
- engineering reviews of public wastewater infrastructure projects (Wastewater Construction Permits);
- licensing of treatment plant operators (Operator Training and Certification);
- licensing of septage haulers and approval of receiving stations and land application (Septage regulation);
- the control of industrial pollutants into publicly owned treatment works (Industrial Pretreatment Program); and,
- the encouragement of the beneficial reuse of wastewater treatment plant residuals (Biosolids Program).
