Permit Component - Industrial and High Risk Facilities

The MS4 permit requires that permittees continue to implement a program to identify and control pollutants in stormwater discharges to the MS4 from:

  • Operating municipal landfill(s)
  • Hazardous waste treatment, storage, disposal and recovery facilities
  • Facilities that a subject to EPCRA Title III, Section 313 (also known as the Toxic Release Inventory)
  • Any other industrial or commercial discharge which the permittee(s) determines is contributing, or has the potential to contribute a substantial pollutant loading to the MS4.

The program requires that the permittee:

  • Maintain an inventory of high risk facilities that could discharge into its MS4.
  • Conduct inspections of the high risk facilities.
  • Conduct sampling of the discharge from the facility, if necessary.
