City of New Germany - Wastewater Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the city of New Germany.


The city of New Germany has applied for a reissued water quality permit for its wastewater treatment facility. The facility is designed to treat 52,000 gallons per day and discharges to County Ditch 9.


The draft permit does not authorize any construction or changes to the facility.


Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. Permits are regularly reviewed and updated as they expire, allowing the MPCA to incorporate new information about the impacts of pollutants on the environment in future permits. Permits are enforced through a combination of self-reporting and compliance monitoring.
