Industrial General Permit

On November 6, 2018 the State Water Board amended the Industrial General Permit Order 2014-0057-DWQ as amended by Order 2015-0122-DWQ to incorporate the following requirements:

1. Federal Sufficiently Sensitive Test Method Ruling;
2. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Requirements; and,
3. Statewide Compliance Options incentivizing on-site or regional storm water capture and use.

The Industrial General Permit expired on June 30, 2020, but it is administratively continued in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations 122.6 until a new permit is issued.
