Industrial Stormwater General Permit

The General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity (“Industrial Stormwater General Permit”) regulates industrial facilities with point source discharges that are engaged in specific activities listed in the permit. To register for this program, these facilities must submit a registration form, and implement a Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP). The PPP must include information about the site, an inventory of exposed materials, a summary of potential pollutants, a description of and schedule for implementation of storm water control methods, storm water monitoring, and site inspection.
