The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, created in 1972 by the Clean Water Act, helps address water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants to waters of the United States. The NPDES program is administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the State of New Mexico.
All New Mexico NPDES permits are posted here.
The Environment Department assists with the implementation of the program by conducting inspections.
