Permit Application Regulations. 1. Regulations Requiring POTW NPDES/ Sludge Permit Coverage In accordance with 40 CFR Subpart 122.21(c)(2), all POTWs and any other existing TWTDS are required to apply for a NPDES permit. POTWs generating/ treating/blending/disposing of sewage sludge are subject to the application submission deadlines as defined in the February 19, 1993, Federal Register . 40 CFR Subpart 122.21(a) excludes persons covered by general permits from requirements to submit individual permit applications.
