The Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment – Division of Environmental Quality and Tri County Regional Water Distribution District (“Tri County”) entered into a February 3rd Consent Administrative Order (“CAO”) addressing alleged violations of a Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit.

Key Takeaways
What Is Happening? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the 2021 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities, which will take effect and supersede the 2015 MSGP on March 1, 2021.
Who Is Impacted? Short term: industrial facilities in jurisdictions where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority. Longer-term: industrial facilities in states that model their NPDES stormwater general permits after EPA’s MSGP.
What Should I Do? For industrial facilities with current coverage under the 2015 MSGP, prompt attention to permit requirement changes is prudent to ensure that all necessary updates to facilities’ Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), a prerequisite of coverage renewal, are made and implemented prior to the May 30, 2021 coverage renewal deadline.
