Storm Water Management for Industrial Activities (16-hour)

Course Description

This course provides industrial facilities with comprehensive guidance on the development of storm water pollution prevention plans and identification of appropriate best management Practices (BMPs).  It provides technical assistance and support for all construction activities subject to pollution prevention requirements established under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for storm water point source discharges.

EPA's storm water program significantly expands the scope and application of the existing NPDES permit system for muncapal and industrial process wastewater discharges.  It emphasizes pollution prevention and reflects a heavy reliance on BMPs to reduce pollutant loadings and improve water quality.  This course provides essential guidance in both of these areas.
