NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION FORM 2D
NEW SOURCE AND NEW DISCHARGE
APPLICATION FOR PERMIT TO DISCHARGE PROCESS WASTWATER
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order to avoid unnecessary effort, please read all instructions carefully before completing the
applications. In addition, you may disregard all reference to the EPA ID number when completing
these forms unless an ID number has already been obtained from EPA.
APPLICABILITY
Form 2D is to completed for proposed new sources or new dischargers of process wastewater.
Additionally, a General Information Form must be completed and submitted with Form 2D. Other
forms are available for existing facilities of process wastewater (Form 2C) and for proposed new and
existing facilities which do not discharge process wastewater (Form 2E). Public Water Supplies with a
direct discharge of filter backwash or lime softener wastewater should complete and submit a Public
Water Supply Permit Application Package. These application forms may be obtained by calling
317/233-0864.
In addition to the above, an "Application for Permit to Discharge Storm Water Associated With
Industrial Activity" (Form 2F) may need to be submitted. The facilities covered by this requirement
are included in the Federal Regulation 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). Form 2F must be submitted if the
industry is included in the definition and there are point source discharges which are composed
entirely of storm water and/or if storm water is combined with either process or non-process
wastewater. For further information and to request the 2F form, call 317/233-6725 and ask for the
Storm Water Desk.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
For the purpose of completing this application, this Agency shall consider the following waters to be
non-process wastewaters: (1) sanitary wastewater (including restaurant or cafeteria wastes); (2) once
through non-contact cooling waters; (3) cooling tower blowdown (except from those industries for
which cooling tower blowdown is considered a process wastewater, i.e. steam electric power plants);
(4) water from stone, sand, and gravel quarries; and (5) water used solely for intake screen
backwash. If the above wastewaters are the sole contributors to a discharge, please complete Form
2E; otherwise complete Form 2D.
Special care should be taken by all industries when determining whether a pollutant may be present
in a discharge. All water additives used at your facility should be examined with respect to their active
ingredients. Specifically, this Agency requests that the information listed on the Application for
Approval to Use Water Treatment Additives concerning the usage of any water conditioning or
biofouling control agents be submitted as a supplement to your application. If no additives are used,
please make a statement to that effect in your transmittal letter.

A flow diagram must be included in accordance with Form 2D Instructions, Item III-B. In addition, a
separate narrative description of your manufacturing or materials processing operation should be
included to aid the permit writer in preparing the permit. The manufacturing description may be
included as a part of Item 13 of the General Information Form. If EPA effluent limitation guidelines
are based on production, it is most important to give the production figures asked for in Item IV of
Form 2D. Also include when applicable, the particular EPA effluent limitation guidelines subcategory
or subcategories in which the manufacturing operation lies, and the production figures for each
subcategory. Except for the Petroleum Refining Category, the production figures are to be
representative of actual production rather than a design rate or capacity.
WATER TREATMENT ADDITIVES INFORMATION
The enclosed form “Application for Approval to use Water Treatment Additives” State Form 50000.
Dischargers utilizing water treatment additives in their treatment systems must include the
requested information in the Application for Approval to use Water Treatment Additives. This
information must also be provided any time that water treatment additives are changed during the
term of the NPDES permit. Approval from the IDEM is required prior to the use of any water
treatment additive.
IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY AFFECTED PERSONS
Please see the enclosed form, "Identification of Potentially Affected Persons". Include with the
completed application the attached form to fully identify all persons, by name and mailing address,
who may be affected by the issuance of this permit (i.e. the discharge from the facility). These
parties may include but not necessarily be limited to adjoining landowners, persons with a
proprietary interest, or the first downstream non-adjacent property owner. Also, include the name of
any fish and wildlife or conservation groups, downstream marinas, etc., which may be potentially
affected, and/or persons who may have expressed concern regarding the discharge. Failure to fully
identify a potentially affected person may result in any issued permit being challenged and rendered
null and void.
UPDATED FEE INFORMATION FOR NPDES PERMIT APPLICATIONS
The following revised fees were established, pursuant to IC 13-18-20-12, effective
March 18, 1994 to defray the costs of processing the permit applications for the NPDES permit
program from all NPDES permit applicants:
(1) When an application is filed with the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management (IDEM), concerning a NPDES Permit action a fifty dollar ($50)
application fee must be remitted. A permit action includes an application for an initial
permit, the renewal of a permit, the modification of a permit, or a variance of a permit or
permit limitation. If the application fee is not remitted the IDEM shall deny the permit
application.
(2) The permittee will remit the fee at the time the application, or a request for modification
is filed with the IDEM. No fee will be assessed for permit modifications initiated by
the IDEM.
3

www.FormsWorkflow.com
(3) For construction activity subject to 327 IAC 15-5, a fee of one hundred dollars ($100)
shall be submitted with a Notice of Intent (NOI) letter.
(4)
The fees specified above will be payable to the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management. Any fee submitted will not be refundable once
substantive processing of the permit application has commenced.
Additionally the issuance of (or existence of) a NPDES Permit will require the permittee to pay an
annual fee for which billing will be made by the IDEM, all in accordance with Senate Enrolled Act
417, which was signed into law on March 18, 1994. This new schedule supersedes the fee schedule
established in 327 IAC 5, 6, and 8. If there are any questions pertaining to the annual fee schedule
contained in the regulation, they should be directed to the Program Management Section at
317/233-0569.

OWNER/OPERATOR AFFIDAVIT TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE
NPDES PERMITTEE(S)
327 IAC 5-2-3(c) requires the operator to apply for and obtain the NPDES permit for the NPDES discharge, unless the
operator is an employee of the owner of the facility (in which case it is the owner’s responsibility to apply for and obtain
the NPDES permit). This is consistent with the federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.21(b). Additionally, pursuant to 327
IAC 5-2-6(c), the permittee is required to notify IDEM if there is a change in either the ownership or the operation of the
wastewater treatment plant.
When an NPDES permittee contracts with a private firm to operate its wastewater treatment plant, and the contractual
agreement is one in which the private entity is not an employee of the owner, the permit should be issued to the private
firm. Some contractual arrangements may have been made without knowledge of this rule requirement, and the contract
may not have been adequately set up to reflect the private firm as the sole permittee. Or the private contractor may not
want to be the sole permittee. Therefore, in such instances EPA has suggested that the permit be issued to both the owner
and to the private contractor, as co-permittees.
In order to help us to determine who should be listed on the NPDES permit as the permittee(s), please complete the
following information:
1.
Facility Name:
2.
NPDES Permit No.
3.
Owner’s Name:
(individual or legal business name)
Owner’s Mailing Address:
4.
Operator’s Name:
(individual or legal business name)
Operator’s Mailing Address:
5.
Is the operator an employee of the owner?
6.
If the answer to #5 is “No”, is the operator willing to be the sole permittee?
YES
7.
NO
YES
NO
N/A
If the answer to #6 is “No”, the NPDES permit will be issued to both the owner and operator as co-permittees.

(NOTE: This definition reflects the literal language of the statute. However, EPA believes that
amendments to RCRA now in conference will shortly be enacted and will change the date for determining
when a facility is an "existing facility" to one no earlier than May of 1980; indications are the conferees are
considering October 30, 1980. Accordingly, EPA encourages every owner or operator of a facility which
was built or under construction as of the promulgation date of the RCRA program regulations to file Part A
of its permit application so that it can be quickly processed for interim status when the change in the law
takes effect. When those amendments are enacted, EPA will amend this definition.)
