Does your Site Need a
Storm Water Permit? All construction sites
and most industrial facilities need storm water permit coverage!
The National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System a/k/a the "storm water permit" is a national
program that address environmental concerns for construction
sites and industrial sites.
-
Does
your construction project disturb any soil
through clearing, grading, excavating, or stockpiling of fill
material?
-
Is
there any possibility that storm water could run off of your
site?
-
Is
your construction project a smaller site that is part of a
common plan or sale? (Recent
changes in the regulations include smaller sites.)
-
Is your facility an industrial
site that discharges storm water from any conveyance that is
used for the collecting and conveying of storm water
directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw
materials storage areas at an industrial plant?
- If you answered “yes”
to any of these questions, YOU NEED PERMIT COVERAGE! If you
don’t have permit coverage, you could be fined
up to $32,500 per day for construction permits and upto
$2,000,000 per day for industrial permits!
Point
source pollution abatement programs developed by the
Environmental Protection Agency have identified manufacturing,
construction, and other land improvements as a leading source of
environmental pollutants.
Pollutants
such as petroleum products, sewage, and sediment directly enter
the nation’s waterways through storm water drainage systems,
contaminating the water and choking streams with sediment.
