The Industrial Storm Water General Permit Order 97-03-DWQ (Industrial General Permit) is a National Pollution Elimination Discharge (NPDES) permit that regulates discharges associated with 10 broad categories of industrial activities. The Industrial General Permit requires the implementation of management measures that will achieve the performance standard of best available technology economically achievable (BAT) and best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT). The General Industrial Permit also requires the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and a monitoring plan. The SWPPP identifies sources of pollutants and describes the means to manage the sources to reduce storm water pollution.
