Background Information
The stormwater general permits for MS4s and construction activities require submission to the Department of a Notice of Intent (NOI), and also the creation of a Stormwater Management Program Plan (SWMP plan) and annual reports for MS4s and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activities. The MS4 permit requires that MS4s provide opportunity for, at a minimum, public participation in the annual report and SWMP preparation and submission of stormwater complaints. The construction stormwater permit NOI requires a summary of the information contained in the SWPPP and is also available to the public for review upon request.
