Georgia 2017 IGP | What If My Facility Is Already Covered Under the Existing Permit?

The current Georgia industrial stormwater general discharge permit expires on May 30, 2017. A revised permit NPDES General Storm Water Permit For Discharges of Stormwater Associated With Industrial Activity (2017 IGP) was finalized in 2016 and becomes effective on June 1, 2017. The revised permit made some modifications to requirements permitted facilities must meet, but not as substantial of changes compared to the release of the 2012 IGP.


Current permittees are required to submit a new Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the 2017 IGP and to maintain coverage for discharging stormwater associated with industrial activities. Facilities previously covered under the 2012 IGP will have up to 30 days to submit the new NOI for coverage under the updated 2017 IGP after the effective date.
