Phase II EPA Site Compliance EPA Phase II rules and regulations relate to storm water discharges from three categories:
First, the rule covers storm water discharges to certain municipal separate
storm sewer systems (MS4s). Public entities which operate these MS4s, such
as cities, counties, States, and the Federal government, could be regulated
under this rule.
Second, the rule also covers storm water discharges from construction activity
generally disturbing between 1 and 5 acres. (5+ acres covered by Phase 1) A construction operator could
include the site owner, developer, contractor, or subcontractor.
Third, the rule also covers storm water discharges from industrial activity
generally disturbing between 1 and 5 acres. (5+ acres covered by Phase 1) A industrial operator could
include the site owner, developer, contractor, or subcontractor.
The storm water Phase II final rule also provides regulatory relief for certain
industrial facilities (currently permitted under EPA?s storm water regulations) where storm water runoff is not exposed to industrial activities. Operators of industrial facilities interested in the no exposure exclusion should read the PDF documents below.
