Low Erosivity Waiver Certification for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity (March 19, 2012) -- Small construction sites can apply for a waiver from the stormwater permit requirements if the construction site has a low predicted rainfall potential where the rainfall erosivity factor (R Factor) is less than five during the period of construction activity. The rainfall erosivity factor waiver uses this factor to determine whether the potential for polluted discharge is low enough to justify a waiver from permit requirements. This waiver is time sensitive and is dependent on when during the year a construction activity takes place, how long it lasts, and the expected rainfall and intensity during that time. 

MSGP Industrial Discharge Monitoring Report (MDMR) Form (March 16, 2009) -- Permittees unable to access the eNOI reporting system can use this paper form to submit analytical monitoring results to EPA.
