National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

Authorization Status for EPA's Construction and Industrial Stormwater Programs

EPA has authorized many states to administer the NPDES stormwater permitting program, including for regulated construction- and industrial-stormwater discharges.

EPA’s 2012 Construction General Permit (CGP) and 2015 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) apply only in the jurisdictions where EPA remains the permitting authority.

CGP and MSGP Coverage Areas

^a See Part 9 of the CGP.
