The 2015 industrial stormwater permit and its
requirements began April 5, 2015. The permit is valid for 5
years, until April 5, 2020.
Good to know
-
Everything related
to the 2010-2015 permit ended April 5.
-
Coverage cards were emailed
April 5, 2015 to facility "site contacts." If you didn't
receive the email, you can go to the Industrial Stormwater Permit Information
Access page, search by
facility name, and print out the coverage card from there. Also, coverage cards
will be mailed to facilities without an email address for the facility
"site contact" over the next couple of weeks.
-
Sampling
requirements start for all permittees on July 1, 2015. New permittees
applying after July 1 start sampling the next full calendar quarter. There are no sampling requirements between now and July 1,
2015.
-
Updated Stormwater
Monitoring Report (SWMR) forms are being created. They will likely be available around
July 1, 2015.
-
Guidance materials
are being updated. Over half of 35 existing documents and all of
the industrial stormwater webpages now reflect the 2015 permit
requirements and are available on the MPCA website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/industrialstormwater.

# 1 question since April

Fill out and submit the Change
Form.
No Exposure Certifiers
-
Keep making sure 100%
of industrial activities and materials are protected from rain, snow,
snowmelt, and runoff 100% of the time. Apply for permit coverage if
that changes.

Vehicle fueling activities rarely qualify for No Exposure. To
