The Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP) was established by the EPA to oversee industrial stormwater discharges from specific industrial facilities. These facilities are regulated by state and local environmental agencies to ensure industrial stormwater compliance. Compliance begins by developing and maintaining a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3), which includes:
- Regulatory site inspections
- Maintenance and repair programs
- Material management
- Spill prevention and response
- A detailed site map
- Annual SWP3 training
- Sampling and analysis
- Water quality monitoring
- Record keeping
- Reporting to the TCEQ and EPA
Stormwater Advisors provides comprehensive MSGP management and guidance to keep you in compliance. Contact us for more information.
The MSGP governs industrial stormwater discharges from 30 specific industrial sectors based on SIC codes, designated industrial activities, or the requirement to comply with numeric effluent limits. Compliance with industrial stormwater regulations is critical, and the MSGP management framework outlines these requirements clearly. This is a general list of categories of industrial facilities that are applicable to the MSGP and must adhere to a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan:
Manufacturing & Processing (Heavy & Light):
Mining - (Limestone, Sand & Gravel, Stone, Clay, etc.):
Waste & Recycling - (Hazardous waste TSD, Recycling, Landfills, Auto Salvage, etc.):
Transportation - (Air, Water, Land):
Utilities & Treatment - (Power Plants, Large WWTPs):
Misc. Industrial Facilities - (Timber products, facilities subject to federal effluent limitations guidelines):
The range of relevant industrial stormwater facilities is extensive when it comes to industrial stormwater compliance!
