Management/Review Of NPDES Phase II NOIs
Construction activities (including other land-disturbing activities) that disturb one acre or more are regulated under the NPDES Stormwater Program. On March 10, 2003, new regulations came into effect that extended coverage to construction sites that disturb one to five acres in size, including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale. Sites disturbing five acres or more were regulated previously.
In New Hampshire, the Construction General Permit (CGP) outlines a set of provisions construction operators must follow to comply with the requirements of the NPDES stormwater regulations. The CGP covers any site one acre and above, including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, and replaces and updates previous EPA Permits.
Permittees may contact the EPA’s NOI Processing Center via on-line form or at (866) 352-7755 for questions about filing by mail.
