[EPA 40 CFR 122.21(d)] Is Your Storm Water Permit About to Expire?
According to
40
CFR 122.21(d), any publicly owned treatment works (POTW) that is currently
covered by an
NPDES permit must submit
a new application at least 180 days before the expiration of the existing permit,
unless a later date has been granted by the regulating authority. Similarly, industrial
dischargers must submit a new application at least 180 days before the expiration
of the existing permit. The regulating authority may authorize a later date for
application, but it can be no later than the date on which the existing permit
expires. States with
NPDES delegated
authority may have different reapplication deadlines than
EPA
requirements.
