It takes a lot of water to make wine and the Department of Ecology wants to make sure that corrosive wastewater from wineries do not harm animals or people.

Beginning July 1^st Washington’s first Winery General Permit goes into effect. Want to know whether your winery qualifies or is exempt? Check out the Department of Ecology website which is full of FAQs and details.

Here are two resources to help navigate the process and complete your water testing:
