Permits to Discus Today

What are your options?
How Did We Get Here?
In 1990 EPA developed regulations to control Stormwater Discharge (40 CRFR 122.26 (b)(14)(i)-(xi)). Establishes 11 Industrial activities
Narrative Activity
Standard Industrial Activity (SIC)
General Permit
EPA 2009 IGP Established 29 Sectors
Reduced the amount of monitoring for industrial activities
Transfer Stations Industrial Sectors
Sector L – Landfills, and land application sites.
If the transfer station is owned and operated by a landfill, it is considered “auxiliary” to the landfill and takes on the Narrative Activity of the landfill;
Sector N – Scrap recycling and waste recycling facilities.
If the transfer station receives wastes from multiple sources and
sorts/sells the waste to a variety of companies, then it is
operating as a stand alone transfer station;
Sector P – Land transportation and warehousing.If the transfer station also operates a waste facility, picking up waste
from individuals, and businesses, and the vehicles for waste hauling
are maintained at the transfer station;
