Ecology
Invites Comments On New Construction Stormwater
General Permit
The Construction Stormwater General Permit, issued by the Department of
Ecology (Ecology) on November 16, 2005, will expire on December 16,
2010. Ecology has prepared a draft permit for public review and
comment. Ecology will host five informational workshops and public
hearings, and accept written and oral comments on the draft permit, fact
sheet, and notice of intent (permit coverage application) from July 21,
2010 to September 10, 2010.
Construction site operators are required to be covered by a Construction
Stormwater General Permit if they are engaged in clearing, grading, and
excavating activities that disturb one or more acres and discharge
stormwater to surface waters of the state. Smaller sites may also
require coverage if they are part of a larger common plan of development
that will ultimately disturb one acre or more.

permit, fact sheet, economic impact analysis, and notice of intent at:
