- The
rules changed. Phase II stormwater rules
were
published in 1999, and were effective in 2003.
- Your
rules depend on your location. The federal government
sets the overall requirements, but most states have their own rules.
- Permit
forms and instructions are sometimes hard to find. It
isn't always clear what permits you need, and whom you need to
call to find out.
Many states
offer valuable assistance on the Internet. Finding it is
not always easy. This resource includes a page for every state
with links to the resources available from the state, arranged to make
it as easy as possible for you to pick out what you will need. The
information is presented in five steps, to answer the following questions:
- Do I
need a permit?
- How do
I apply for a stormwater permit?
- Where
can I find permit application forms and instructions?
- Whom
should I contact for more information?
- Where
can I find additional stormwater compliance resources?
If a state
provides other items of possible interest for stormwater compliance,
they
are listed in the "Additional Resources" section. Sometimes
when you follow these links, you will be taken to a long page or
document. Check
the "SWRL hints" for help in finding exactly where in the
document the specific information you need is located. Please
note that occasionally some states may leave obsolete information
in place. You
may want to check with the contacts listed for your state to be sure
you are getting up-to-date information. |
