What types of construction activities are regulated under the construction stormwater permit program?
All construction activities 1 acre or larger must obtain permit coverage. Construction activities less than 1 acre must also obtain coverage if they are part of a larger common plan of development or sale that totals at least 1 acre. Small construction activities, i.e., less than 5 acres, may qualify for a waiver. For more information on the waiver see http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/waiver.cfm.
