- Obtain Industrial General Permit coverage or submit a certified notice of non-applicability for each facility with a regulated SIC code(s).
City/County Requirements
- Cities and counties may develop their own processes for determining whether a business is appropriately covered by the Industrial General Permit.
- Senate Bill 205 requires business license applicants to provide, where applicable, their facilities’ Waste Discharger Identification (WDID) number and application number, No-Exposure Certification identification number, or Notice of Non-Applicability identification number.
Permit Applications
- The Industrial General Permit is a State Water Board NPDES General Permit implementing the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act.
- IGP regulates discharges of stormwater (rainfall flowing over surfaces into waterways) into waters of the United States associated with nine broad categories of industrial activities.
- The Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (commonly referred to as SMARTS) is the federally compliant electronic database used for California NPDES stormwater permitting. This system allows permittees, regulators, and the public to enter, manage, and view stormwater data.
