General industrial stormwater permittees:

It’s time to fulfill an annual industrial stormwater permit requirement by filling out your facility’s Annual Report.  The 2017 general industrial stormwater annual report form is online and due March 31, 2018

Permittees can either fill out the Microsoft Word form or the PDF form.  Enter your Permit ID number plus information / data for all months your facility was active during 2017; for most Permittees, that’s the entire 2017 calendar year. 

If you fill out the form electronically, email it to the Industrial Stormwater Program.  You have the option to mail it in, if you prefer. 

We are also mailing out copies of the newsletter & instructions to every Permittee “site contact.” You can also read the Annual Report newsletter that contains instructions on filling out the annual report as well as an announcement of 2018 industrial stormwater training opportunities.

Individual wastewater permittees with a stormwater chapter:

For permittees with an individual wastewater permit with a stormwater chapter, part of your requirements include filling out an industrial stormwater annual report.  This permit requirement is for permittees only; it is not required for those who have certified for No Exposure. If you are not required to fill out an industrial stormwater annual report, please delete this message.

There is a specific (and shorter!) version of the Industrial Stormwater Annual Report form just for you. Please fill out either the Microsoft Word form or PDF form.

Wastewater permittees: please mail your completed Annual Report to:
