Industrial stormwater compliance is a regulatory requirement that is a vital responsibility for protecting surface waters, public health, and the environment. Through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, industrial facilities must develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), implement best management practices (BMPs), and conduct regular inspections and monitoring to reduce pollution risks.
Beyond meeting regulations, investing in compliance demonstrates corporate responsibility, supports sustainability, and strengthens reputation. Ultimately, stormwater compliance is about safeguarding communities and leading toward a cleaner, healthier future.
To maintain permit coverage, facilities must keep an up-to-date Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) book on site. This document serves as a comprehensive record of all permit requirements and must be updated regularly throughout the life of the facility. In some cases, industrial facilities may qualify for exemptions from certain NPDES stormwater permitting requirements if all materials and processes are fully enclosed within storm-resistant structures.
