Stormwater Discharges and Permits

Provider: Mason Contractors Association of America
Discipline: General
Credits: 2

This course covers federal and state regulations to control and prevent stormwater discharge. Stormwater discharges are generated by runoff from land and impervious areas such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops during rainfall and snow events that often contain pollutants in quantities that could adversely affect water quality. Federal and state storm water regulations require industrial facilities to take steps to prevent storm water pollution.

All stormwater permits require the development and implementation of minimum control measures (for MS4 stormwater permits) and best management practices (for industrial stormwater permits). Consequently, this course also discusses procedures required for NPDES permit and pollution prevention plans.

A five question quiz will be given at the end of each lesson; mastery is not required. A twenty question final exam must be passed with a 50% to pass the course.

  1. Describe the EPA construction general permit requirements
  2. Identify sources of stormwater discharge from industrial facilities
