AGCA Webinar:
EPA's Construction Stormwater Program: What the
New Mandated Discharge Limits, Monitoring
Requirements and Prescriptive Controls Mean for
Contractors |
10:30–12:00 pm.
Prepare now for first-time nationwide numeric
discharge limits and monitoring requirements.
These new limits strictly enforce the amount of
sediment allowed to run off any construction
site disturbing 10 or more acres of land at any
one time (whether contiguous or not). The new
rule, issued by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency in December 2009, also
specifies the exact types of erosion and
sediment controls that contractors must use, at
a bare minimum, to control stormwater runoff on
all construction sites that disturb one or more
acres of land. The C&D ELG rule takes effect in
February 2010 and phases in over four years. The
new ELG requirements will be incorporated into
all federal and state individual and general
National Pollutant Discharges Elimination System
(NPDES) stormwater construction permits upon
their next reissuance.
Click here to see when your state's
construction general stormwater permit is
scheduled to expire and be re-issued. For more
information on what the new C&D ELG rule
requires, see a detailed article that ran in the
January 8, 2010, issue of AGC’s Environmental
Observer newsletter –
