As a precautionary response to COVID-19, Ohio EPA staff are currently working remotely limiting access to office buildings and items mailed through the postal service.

Ohio EPA is requesting that the standard process of mailing NPDES Notice of Intent with checks continue. However, until the state of emergency is lifted, Ohio EPA asks that an electronic copy of the application, local health department checklist and copy of the check to cover the fee be emailed to DSW.HSTS@epa.ohio.gov. This email is intended for NPDES Notice of Intent mailings only. Please do not use this email for concerns or questions intended for Franklin County Public Health.  For security purposes it is requested that the homeowner please cross out or crop out any banking information like the routing number and bank account number that is on check.

The agency will review the emailed applications, and if deemed complete, will provide notification of permit coverage through email.  Ohio EPA’s downloadable lists of dischargers covered under the HSTS permit continues to be updated nightly so the permit number associated with the coverage will be uploaded to this site.
