EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)The MSGP is the first general permit to provide facility-specific requirements for several types of industrial facilities within one permit. This permit presents all requirements up front, allowing facility operators to become familiar with, and prepare for, activities such as storm water pollution prevention plan implementation and monitoring prior to applying for permit coverage. The MSGP-2000 published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2000, replaces the original MSGP that EPA issued on September 29,1995. EligibilityThe MSGP-2000 covers the same 30 industrial sectors as contained in the MSGP-1995, modified on September 30, 1998. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and narrative descriptions identify the industrial facilities within each of the 30 sectors. The MSGP-2000 is effective in areas where EPA is the permitting authority in EPA Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 (with a few exceptions). Facilities located in these areas and currently covered under the MSGP-1995 must obtain permit coverage under the MSGP-2000. New facilities within regulated industrial sectors must also obtain permit coverage under the MSGP-2000. Permit Requirements Like the MSGP-1995, the MSGP-2000 contains general permit requirements (i.e., requirements that pertain to all sectors) and sector-specific requirements (i.e., requirements applicable only to facilities within each of the 30 industrial sectors). Most industrial sectors have visual, analytical, and/or compliance monitoring requirements. Permit Application/Termination ProceduresIf you are in one of the states where EPA is the permitting authority for the storm water program and you have questions about the "notice of intent" form (or other related forms), please contact EPA's Storm Water NOI Processing Center using this form. To apply for permit coverage under the MSGP, a facility operator must complete and submit to the appropriate NPDES permitting authority a Notice of Intent (NOI) form [PDF Format]. The NOI requests a variety of information, including latitude/longitude of the facility, and information related to the Endangered Species Act To discontinue permit coverage, a facility operator must complete and submit to the appropriate NPDES permitting authority a Notice of Termination (NOT) form. Click here to get the most recent version of the NOT form [PDF Format]. Note: If you are in one of the states where EPA is the permitting authority for the storm water program, please use the mailing addresses below for your "Year 2 and Year 4" monitoring reports:
