WPDES Permit eApplication Submittals
What is eApplication?
The Department encourages electronic submittal of WPDES permit applications (eApplication). WPDES permit applicants use the DNR Electronic Business Switchboard to access the eApplication. Review the Switchboard tutorial for more information on electronic form submittal.
Wisconsin User ID’s
The DNR Switchboard helps people find DNR electronic forms using the State’s Web Access Management System (WAMS) without having to re-log in each time. The Department sets up your file data to allow access to your DNR forms to only your authorized users. Authorized users access their eApplication with a Wisconsin user ID and password. If you have used WAMS to obtain state forms, you have already created a Wisconsin user ID and password. Use your current Wisconsin user ID and password when you log in to the Switchboard. Wisconsin user ID’s are assigned to a person, not a facility.
If you do not have a Wisconsin user ID, you can use the Switchboard to register for one. The registration process for new users works this way:
| 1. You Register | 2. DNR Processes and Responds | 3. You Obtain Forms |
|---|---|---|
| Use the Switchboard to create a Wisconsin user ID and register with your contact information and user roles. | DNR processes registration information | Use the Switchboard to access your eApplication using your Wisconsin user ID and password. |
| Send in a signed copy of your registration form to DNR. | DNR notifies you that your eApplication is available. | |
| Activate your user ID within 4 days. |
