Veolia WTS Solutions USA - Wastewater Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for Veolia WTS Solutions USA in Minnetonka.


Veolia WTS Solutions USA manufactures water treatment, filtration, separation, and purification equipment systems. The production process uses non-contact cooling water and five greensand filters. The facility discharges wastewater from a detention pond to the south fork of Nine Mile Creek. Currently, the facility does not discharge any chemical additives via the surface discharge point.


Along with current limit and monitoring requirements, the draft water quality permit adds monitoring for ammonia nitrogen, nitrite plus nitrate‐nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total nitrogen, and salty discharge parameters.


Wastewater from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could adversely affect the water quality in area wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes. Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. All wastewater must be treated before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life. 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.
