Application for the Discharge of Cooling Water to the City of Fairbanks Storm Water Collection System

All discharges into the City’s stormwater collection system are required to meet the requirements of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System discharge permit required by the Clean Water Act as well as all appropriate laws and regulations. 

The cooling water discharge permit allows connection and discharge into the City’s stormwater system but individuals are responsible for any damages, costs for remediation, or fines incurred because of their discharges into the City’s system. Connecting individuals are also responsible for providing the City with annual water quality data in order to have the discharge permit renewed by the City each year.
