Violations at Nevada wastewater plants
2 of the 4 municipal plants on this page recorded at least one effluent violation, a monitored value above a permit limit, in the last three years, and 2 had a violation of any kind, including late or missing monitoring reports. Each plant’s page shows its own count.
Permit renewals by year
An NPDES permit runs for five years. To keep discharging, a plant must apply for renewal at least 180 days before the expiry date, and the renewed permit usually arrives with tighter effluent limits, new monitoring requirements or a compliance schedule. That is why the year a permit expires is the year a plant starts budgeting for upgrades: nutrient removal, disinfection, capacity or controls.
