Stormwater discharges from most industrial facilities and construction projects must be permitted. At this interactive web-based training, you will gain an understanding of the industrial and construction stormwater regulations that apply to your site, and identify which permits are available for your operations.

Industrial and construction permits require you to implement a site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), use effective control measures to minimize pollutant discharges, and provide training for employees who implement activities necessary to meet your permit conditions as well as employees who work in areas where industrial materials or construction activities are exposed to stormwater.

EPA’s Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) is now in effect for industrial facilities. Are you meeting your permit requirements—including quarterly inspections and electronic annual reporting? And, EPA’s new Construction General Permit (CGP) went into effect on February 16, 2017. Attend this live, online session to learn the 2017 CGP’s revised requirements for controlling on-site erosion, areas that require buffers, pollution prevention measures, signage, waste container management, and new Notice of Intent (NOI) requirements.

At this live online training, you will learn how to:

• Obtain a stormwater discharge permit
• Develop and implement an effective SWPPP
• Identify and implement effective control measures (including best management practices)
• Develop and document inspection procedures
• Implement an effective monitoring and sampling plan
• Meet your permit’s training requirements
• Comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements
• Certify no-exposure
• Comply with permit renewal requirements
• Terminate permit coverage

The course handbook, Handbook for the Management of Stormwater Discharges, is included as a downloadable document.
