Four States & Certain U.S. Territories Affected by New 2012 Stormwater Permit

Effective Feb. 16, EPA’s 2012 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) CGP applies in four states—(1) Idaho; (2) Massachusetts; (3) New Hampshire; and (4)  New Mexico—the District of Columbia; Puerto Rico; all other U.S. territories, with the exception of the U.S. Virgin Islands; federal facilities in four states—(1) Colorado; (2) Delaware; (3) Vermont; and (4) Washington—and most Indian lands and for a few other specifically designated activities in specific states.    If you are planning a new project located in an area where EPA is the permitting authority, or if you will continue to work on a project that is currently covered by the 2003 or 2008 CGP, you are required to obtain coverage under the new 2012 CGP by the deadlines specified in the permit.
