What is an SIC Code and what would be my companys code if I operate an automotive recycling facility?
An SIC Code, or Standard Industrial Classification, is the 4-digit code that represents the economic activity of a company. Most users of ECAR Center, including salvage yard operators, auto recyclers and auto dismantlers, would fall under SIC code 5015. According to EPA’s list of classifications, this code is described as “motor vehicle parts, used.” Your SIC code is a particularly important factor in determining whether you need to have a stormwater permit. With rare exceptions, businesses that fall under the 5015 code are required to obtain a stormwater permit. In addition to using SIC codes to identify regulated activities, many regulations include narrative descriptions of those regulated activities. If the narrative description applies to your operations even though you may use a different SIC code, your operations most likely are regulated.
