NPDES and WPCF Wastewater Permits in Your DEQ Online

​​​Your DEQ Online will be the system to use for applying for a permit, applying to renew a permit, registering for a General Permit, submitting monitoring data, submitting fees, updating information, and a lot more!

As of May 14, 2025, permittees will be able to establish or update their user accounts and link their account with the associated facility or facilities. Guidance will be available on how to use Your DEQ Online, including account registration instructions and user guides for permit actions.
