Obtaining and Modifying General Permit Coverage36. This General Permit requires all dischargers to electronically file allPermit Registration Documents (PRDs), Notices of Termination (NOT),changes of information, annual reporting, and other compliancedocuments required by this General Permit through the State WaterBoard’s Storm water Multi-Application and Report Tracking System(SMARTS) website.37. Any information provided to the Regional Water Board shall complywith the Homeland Security Act and any other federal law thatconcerns security in the United States; any information that does notcomply should not be submitted.38. This General Permit grants an exception from the Risk Determinationrequirements for existing sites covered under Water Quality Orders No.99-08-DWQ, and No. 2003-0007-DWQ. For certain sites, addingadditional requirements may not be cost effective. Construction sitescovered under Water Quality Order No. 99-08-DWQ shall obtain permitcoverage at the Risk Level 1. LUPs covered under Water QualityOrder No. 2003-0007-DWQ shall obtain permit coverage as a Type 1LUP. The Regional Water Boards have the authority to require RiskDetermination to be performed on sites currently covered under WaterQuality Orders No. 99-08-DWQ and No. 2003-0007-DWQ where theydeem it necessary. The State Water Board finds that there are twocircumstances when it may be appropriate for the Regional WaterBoards to require a discharger that had filed an NOI under State WaterBoard Order No. 99-08-DWQ to recalculate the site’s risk level. Thesecircumstances are: (1) when the discharger has a demonstratedhistory of noncompliance with State Water Board Order No. 99-08-DWQ or; (2) when the discharger’s site poses a significant risk ofcausing or contributing to an exceedance of a water quality standardwithout the implementation of the additional Risk Level 2 or 3requirements.E. Prohibitions39. All discharges are prohibited except for the storm water and non-stormwater discharges specifically authorized by this General Permit oranother NPDES permit. Non-storm water discharges include a widevariety of sources, including improper dumping, spills, or leakage fromstorage tanks or transfer areas.

Ordercontribute significant pollutant loads to receiving waters. Measures tocontrol spills, leakage, and dumping, and to prevent illicit connectionsduring construction must be addressed through structural as well asnon-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) 3 . The State WaterBoard recognizes, however, that certain non-storm water dischargesmay be necessary for the completion of construction.40. This General Permit prohibits all discharges which contain ahazardous substance in excess of reportable quantities established in40 C.F.R. §§ 117.3 and 302.4, unless a separate NPDES Permit hasbeen issued to regulate those discharges.41. This General Permit incorporates discharge prohibitions contained inwater quality control plans, as implemented by the State Water Boardand the nine Regional Water Boards.42. Pursuant to the Ocean Plan, discharges to Areas of Special BiologicalSignificance (ASBS) are prohibited unless covered by an exceptionthat the State Water Board has approved.43. This General Permit prohibits the discharge of any debris 4 fromconstruction sites. Plastic and other trash materials can causenegative impacts to receiving water beneficial uses. The State WaterBoard encourages the use of more environmentally safe,biodegradable materials on construction sites to minimize the potentialrisk to water quality.F. Training44. In order to improve compliance with and to maintain consistentenforcement of this General Permit, all dischargers are required toappoint two positions - the Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) and theQualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) - who must obtain appropriatetraining. Together with the key stakeholders, the State and RegionalWater Boards are leading the development of this curriculum through acollaborative organization called The Construction General Permit(CGP) Training Team.45. The Professional Engineers Act (Bus. & Prof. Code section 6700, etseq.) requires that all engineering work must be performed by aCalifornia licensed engineer.3 BMPs are scheduling of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and othermanagement practices to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States. BMPsalso include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practice to control site runoff, spillage orleaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.4 Litter, rubble, discarded refuse, and remains of destroyed inorganic anthropogenic waste.2009-0009-DWQ 7 September 02, 2009
