Option 1 - Basic Steps for the “NPDES ID Access” Click on “NPDES ID Access” Fill out the form Route your form to a Certifier for approval by entering their email address on the form

Option 2 - “Initial Permit Administrator Request to Regulatory Authority” This option is used when a Certifier has not requested access to your NPDES ID in NeT In most cases for the MSGP, the Certifier already has access to your permit number and you should route your “NPDES ID Access” request form to their email If there is no Certifier with access to your NPDES ID, the Certifier will need to submit the “Initial” form request The Regulatory Authority will need to approve the “Initial” NPDES ID Access request Once your request has been approved, you will receive an email
