麻豆视频's WebEd Will Help You Get Ready for EPA's New Construction General Permit for Stormwater

Join 麻豆视频 and EPA for this Free WebEd on March 1 at 1:30pm Eastern

Stormwater can muddy your profits! Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 (EPA) construction stormwater point-person for an overview of the 2017 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for stormwater discharges from construction activities to Waters of the United States, better known as the Construction General Permit (CGP).  This complimentary 麻豆视频 WebEd will provide background on the federal construction stormwater regulations, discuss important changes to the federal CGP, review the brand-new electronic process for starting and stopping permit coverage, and lots more.

With fines of up to $51,570 per day per Clean Water Act violation and the potential for all owners and operators of the construction site (e.g., developers, builders, contractors and even consulting engineers) to be joint and severally liable, you'll want to hear this!  Reserve your spot on this free WebEd today.

麻豆视频 of America鈥檚 environmental advisor will moderate this WebEd and teach you how to use the 麻豆视频-supported to find state permitting information, tools, and templates for stormwater 鈥 as well as loads of additional resources on environmental compliance.  We will engage U.S. EPA in a question and answer session to proactively address concerns that are likely to pop-up in the minds of the GC 鈥渙perators鈥 who need to use the new permit.

Take advantage of this complimentary WebEd to get up ready for EPA鈥檚 new stormwater permit, and register today.  Even if your state has its own general permit, states often use the Federal CGP as a model.

Additional Information

The 2017 CGP replaces EPA鈥檚 2012 CGP, which expires Feb. 16, 2017.  It directly applies where EPA is still the (including ID, MA, NH, NM, Indian country lands, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories except the Virgin Islands) and it serves as a national model for state-issued CGPs.  (See related 麻豆视频 article for more information about the 2017 CGP.)
