Pretreatment Industrial Users Discharge Permits

In South Dakota, we issue permits to industries that are considered to be significant contributors to a municipal sewer system. These permits regulate the allowable level of pollutants that can be discharged into the sewer. Permittees are required to sample their discharge and report these results to the state.

Dental Effluent Guidelines

On June 14, 2017, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the dental effluent guideline rules. This rule requires all dental offices in the United States which use or remove dental amalgam and discharge wastewater to a municipal sanitary sewer system to meet requirements to reduce the discharge of mercury. These rules can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 40, Part 441. EPA has a guideline guide at www.epa.gov/eg/dental-effluent-guidelines. The Water Quality Program is responsible for implementing this rule in South Dakota.

All dental offices in South Dakota must complete a One Time Compliance Report. Dental offices who discharge wastewater to the following cities must contact the city’s pretreatment coordinator:

All other dental offices must submit their report directly to the department. For more information contact Kyle Doerr at (605) 773-3351.
