In March 2015, 25 final Individual CSO permits that cover 217 CSO outfalls in 21 municipalities were issued. These permits will become effective on July 1, 2015.

The Department's Division of Water Quality has established multidisciplinary internal teams to provide ongoing technical assistance and guidance to permittees. A list of the team leaders and their contact information can be found at the bottom of this page.

In Spring of 2015 these teams met with permittees to discuss the permit requirements with a specific emphasis on submittals due the first year. A detailed discussion of how to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports was part of these meetings.

As a result of these meetings the Department created several resource documents for permittees:

• What's Due & When? A presentation to assist permittees in understanding what requirements are due in the first year of the permit. There are two versions of this presentation, one for permittees that have a 36 month compliance schedule and one for permittees that have a 59 month compliance schedule. Your compliance schedule can be found in the CSO Submittal Summary which follows the cover letter of your final permit.
  

  What’s Due & When? - 36 month compliance schedule
  What’s Due & When? - 59 month compliance schedule

• Quick Guide for CSO Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form Submission – a one page document that highlights the salient points of the DMR training that was recently conducted by the Department. A DMR training video can be found on the Training and Events page.



• Progress Report Template - a template that can be utilized by permittees to comply with the quarterly progress report requirement.  Because there are two schedules for LTCP submission, please be sure that you are utilizing the proper template (36 months or 59 months). Your compliance schedule can be found in the CSO Submittal Summary which follows the cover letter of your final permit.
