Effective January 1, 2020 Senate Bill 205 requires a person or entity who conducts a business operation that is a “regulated industry” to demonstrate enrollment with the NPDES permit program. By providing specified information on an initial or renewal City business license application, enrollment in the NPDES permit can be confirmed. The goal of the program is to address the health and safety of drinking water sources statewide.
SB 205 does not affect all businesses. Only those businesses with primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes that are identified by the State Water Board as requiring enrollment in the Industrial General Permit (IGP) are affected. The questions below will guide you and the City in determining if your business requires enrollment in the IGP. Completion and submission of this form is required with your 2020 business license application/renewal.
For guidance on how to apply for coverage under the Stormwater Industrial General Permit, contact the State Water Board or local Regional Board.
