Record group 89-265 consists of material of the Water Resources Commission for the years 1982-1984. Includes minutes, permit applications, transcripts, and correspondence. The Commission issues state-federal permits to control waste discharges under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The major concern of the Commission is water quality and what kind of effluent limits should be placed on industrial and public facilities that use water in their processes, then discharge this water into the state's rivers and lakes. This record group documents the standards applied to facilities in order to keep Michigan's waters clean.
