Summary of Revised Industrial Stormwater Permit Requirements In Ohio

Ohio EPA has completed public comment on its proposed draft industrial multi-sector permit, and plans to issue the NPDES industrial general permit renewal in May with an effective date of June 1, 2011.

Currently, Ohio EPA plans to mail renewal notices to all permittees of the current industrial general permit (OHR000004) in mid-June. The renewal notice will include a blank NOI application form to submit to Ohio EPA within 90 days to continue general permit coverage until May 31, 2016.

The 90-day period is intended to allow permitted facilities with sufficient time to:

1. Select, design, install, and implement control measures to meet numeric and non-numeric effluent limits in the new permit;and
2. Develop a new SWPPP according to the requirements in the new permit.
