EPA Region 10 Stormwater Requirements

On June 30, EPA issued a final 2008 Construction General Permit (CGP) that covers discharges of stormwater from certain construction sites. Because EPA is in the process of developing a national regulation (called an Effluent Limitations Guideline) for the construction and development industry, this permit contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the 2003 CGP and has been issued for a two-year time period. The new permit applies only to “new” construction sites (e.g. those that have started construction on or after June 30, 2008 or those that started previously, but did not obtain permit coverage under the 2003 CGP). For more information on this new permit, please visit www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp

EPA's 2008 General Construction Permit (CGP) section 3.1 requires inspections to be performed by a "qualified person". ECO 3 has an EPA specific Erosion and Sediment Control training courses to help meet EPA's CGP requirements in Alaska and Idaho
