This form must be completed by all applicants.
Completing This Form
Please type or print in the unshaded areas only. Some items have
small graduation marks in the fill-in spaces. These marks indicate the
number of characters that may be entered into our data system. The
marks are spaced at 1/6" intervals which accommodate elite type (12
characters per inch). If you use another type you may ignore the
marks. If you print, place each character between the marks. Abbreviate if necessary to stay within the number of characters allowed for
each item. Use one space for breaks between words, but not for
punctuation marks unless they are needed to clarify your response.

Item III
Enter the facility’s official or legal name. Do not use a colloquial name.
Item IV
Give the name, title, and work telephone number of a person who is
thoroughly familiar with the operation of the facility and with the facts
reported in this application and who can be contacted by reviewing
offices if necessary.

Item I
Space is provided at the upper right hand corner of Form 1 for insertion of your EPA Identification Number. If you have an existing facility, enter your Identification Number. If you don’t know your EPA
Identification Number, please contact your EPA Regional office
(Table 1), which will provide you with your number. If your facility is
new (not yet constructed), leave this item blank.

Item V
Give the complete mailing address of the office where correspondence should be sent. This often is not the address used to designate the location of the facility or activity.

Item II
Answer each question to determine which supplementary forms you
need to fill out. Be sure to check the glossary in Section D of these
instructions for the legal definitions of the bold faced words. Check
Section C of these instructions to determine whether your activity is
excluded from permit requirements.

Item VI
Give the address or location of the facility identified in Item III of this
form. If the facility lacks a street name or route number, give the
most accurate alternative geographic information (e.g., section
number or quarter section number from county records or at intersection of Rts. 425 and 22).

If you answer “no” to every question, then you do not need a permit,
and you do not need to complete and return any of these forms.

Item VII
List, in descending order of significance, the four 4-digit standard
industrial classification (SIC) codes which best describe your facility
in terms of the principal products or services you produce or provide.
Also, specify each classification in words. These classifications may
differ from the SIC codes describing the operation generating the
discharge, air emissions, or hazardous wastes.

If you answer “yes” to any question, then you must complete and file
the supplementary form by the deadline listed in Table 2 along with
this form. (The applicable form number follows each question and is
enclosed in parentheses.) You need not submit a supplementary
form if you already have a permit under the appropriate Federal
program, unless your permit is due to expire and you wish to renew
your permit.

SIC code numbers are descriptions which may be found in the
“Standard Industrial Classification Manual” prepared by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget,
which is available from the Government Printing Office, Washington,
D.C. Use the current edition of the manual. If you have any questions
concerning the appropriate SIC code for your facility, contact your
EPA Regional office (see Table 1).

Questions (I) and (J) of Item II refer to major new or modified
sources subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
requirements under the Clean Air Act. For the purpose of the PSD
program, major sources are defined as: (A) Sources listed in Table 3
which have the potential to emit 100 tons or more per year emissions; and (B) All other sources with the potential to emit 250 tons or
more per year. See Section C of these instructions for discussion of
exclusions of certain modified sources.

Item VIII-A
Give the name, as it is legally referred to, of the person, firm, public
organization, or any other entity which operates the facility described
in this application. This may or may not be the same name as the
facility. The operator of the facility is the legal entity which controls
the facility’s operation rather than the plant or site manager. Do not
use a colloquial name.

SECTION C – ACTIVITIES WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE PERMITS
II. Hazardous Waste Permits Under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act. You may be excluded from the requirement to
obtain a permit under this program if you fall into one of the following
categories:

1. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits
Under the Clean Water Act. You are not required to obtain an
NPDES permit if your discharge is in one of the following categories,
as provided by the Clean Water Act (CWA) and by the NPDES
regulations (40 CFR Parts 122-125). However, under Section 510 of
CWA a discharge exempted from the federal NPDES requirements
may still be regulated by a State authority; contact your State environmental agency to determine whether you need a State permit.

Generators who accumulate their own hazardous waste on-site for
less than 90 days as provided in 40 CFR 262.34;
Farmers who dispose of hazardous waste pesticide from their own
use as provided in 40 CFR 262.51;

A. DISCHARGES FROM VESSELS. Discharges of sewage from
vessels, effluent from properly functioning marine engines, laundry, shower, and galley sink wastes, and any other discharge incidental to the normal operation of a vessel do not require NPDES
permits. However, discharges of rubbish, trash, garbage, or other
such materials discharged overboard require permits, and so do
other discharges when the vessel is operating in a capacity other
than as a means of transportation, such as when the vessel is being used as an energy or mining facility, a storage facility, or a
seafood processing facility, or is secured to the bed of the ocean,
contiguous zone, or waters of the United States for the purpose of
mineral or oil exploration or development.

Certain persons treating, storing, or disposing of small quantities
of hazardous waste as provided in 40 CFR 261.4 or 261.5; and
Owners and operators of totally enclosed treatment facilities as
defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
Check with your Regional office for details. Please note that even if
you are excluded from permit requirements, you may be required by
Federal regulations to handle your waste in a particular manner.
III. Underground Injection Control Permits Under the Safe Drinking Water Act. You are not required to obtain a permit under this
program if you:

B. DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL. Discharges of dredged or fill
material into waters of the United States do not need NPDES
permits if the dredging or filling is authorized by a permit issued by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or an EPA approved State under Section 404 of CWA.

Inject into existing wells used to enhance recovery of oil and gas
or to store hydrocarbons (note, however, that these underground
injections are regulated by Federal rules); or
Inject into or above a stratum which contains, within 1/4 mile of the
well bore, an underground source of drinking water (unless your
injection is the type identified in Item II-H, for which you do need a
permit). However, you must notify EPA of your injection and submit certain required information on forms supplied by the Agency,
and your operation may be phased out if you are a generator of
hazardous wastes or a hazardous waste management facility
which uses wells or septic tanks to dispose of hazardous waste.

C. DISCHARGES INTO PUBLICLY OWNED TREATMENT
WORKS (POTW), The introduction of sewage, industrial wastes,
or other pollutants into a POTW does not need an NPDES permit.
You must comply with all applicable pretreatment standards
promulgated under Section 307(b) of CWA, which may be included in the permit issued to the POTW. If you have a plan or an
agreement to switch to a POTW in the future, this does not relieve
you of the obligation to apply for and receive an NPDES permit
until you have stopped discharging pollutants into waters of the
United States.

IV. Prevention of Significant Deterioration Permits Under the
Clean Air Act. The PSD program applies to newly constructed or
modified facilities (both of which are referred to as “new sources”)
which increase air emissions. The Clean Air Act Amendments of
1977 exclude small new sources of air emissions from the PSD
review program. Any new source in an industrial category listed in
Table 3 of these instructions whose potential to emit is less than 100
tons per year is not required to get a PSD permit. In addition, any
new source in an industrial category not listed in Table 3 whose
potential to emit is less than 250 tons per year is exempted from the
PSD requirements.

(NOTE: Dischargers into privately owned treatment works do not
have to apply for or obtain NPDES permits except as otherwise
required by the EPA Regional Administrator. The owner or operator of the treatment works itself, however, must apply for a permit
and identify all users in its application. Users so identified will receive public notice of actions taken on the permit for the treatment
works.)
D. DISCHARGES FROM AGRICULTURAL AND SILVICULTURAL ACTIVITIES. Most discharges from agricultural and silvicultural activities to waters of the United States do not require
NPDES permits. These include runoff from orchards, cultivated
crops, pastures, range lands, and forest lands. However, the discharges listed below do require NPDES permits. Definitions of the
terms listed below are contained in the Glossary section of these
instructions.

Modified sources which increase their net emissions (the difference

POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of
the facility’s discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those
that are required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
•
At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of
two species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the
results show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do
not include information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through
analysis conducted using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136
and other appropriate QA/QC requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
•
In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity
test conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results
of a toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.

Item II-B in Form 1. Not all animal feeding operations or fish farms are
required to obtain NPDES permits. Exclusions are based on size. See the
description of these statutory and regulatory exclusions in the General
Instructions that accompany Form 1.
For aquatic animal production facilities, the size cutoffs are based on
whether the species are warm water or cold water, on the production
weight per year in harvestable pounds, and on the amount of feeding in
pounds of food (for cold water species). Also, facilities which discharge
less than 30 days per year, or only during periods of excess runoff (for
warm water fish) are not required to have a permit.
Refer to the Form 1 instructions to determine where to file this form.

Application for Permit to Discharge Wastewater
EXISTING MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL, MINING. AND SILVICULTURAL OPERATIONS
“Maximum Daily” columns (columns 4-a-2 and 4-b-2). Report the
average of all daily values measured during days when discharge
occurred within the last year in the “Long Term Average” columns
(columns 4-a-1 and 4-b-1).

This form must be completed by all applicants who check “yes” to
item II-C in Form 1.
Public Availability of Submitted Information.
Your application will not be considered complete unless you answer
every question on this form and on Form 1. If an item does not apply
to you, enter “NA” (for not applicable) to show that you considered
the question.

Item III-A
All effluent guidelines promulgated by EPA appear in the Federal
Register and are published annually in 40 CFR Subchapter N. A
guideline applies to you if you have any operations contributing
process wastewater in any subcategory covered by a BPT, BCT, or
BAT guideline. If you are unsure whether you are covered by a
promulgated effluent guideline, check with your EPA Regional office
(Table 1 in the Form 1 instructions). You must check “yes” if an
applicable effluent guideline has been promulgated, even if the
guideline limitations are being contested in court. If you believe that a
promulgated effluent guideline has been remanded for
reconsideration by a court and does not apply to your operations,
you may check “no.”

You may not claim as confidential any information required by this
form or Form 1, whether the information is reported on the forms or
in an attachment. This information will be made available to the
public upon request.
Any information you submit to EPA which goes beyond that required
by this form or Form 1 you may claim as confidential, but claims for
information which is effluent data will be denied. If you do not assert
a claim of confidentiality at the time of submitting the information,
EPA may make the information public without further notice to you.
Claims of confidentiality will be handled in accordance with EPA’s
business confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.

Item III-B
An effluent guideline is expressed in terms of production (or other
measure of operation) if the limitation is expressed as mass of
pollutant per operational parameter; for example, “pounds of BOD
per cubic foot of logs from which bark is removed,” or “pounds of
TSS per megawatt hour of electrical energy consumed by smelting
furnace.” An example of a guideline not expressed in terms of a
measure of operation is one which limits the concentration of
pollutants.

Definitions
All significant terms used in these instructions and in the form are
defined in the glossary found in the General Instructions which
accompany Form 1.
EPA ID Number
Fill in your EPA Identification Number at the top of each page of
Form 2c. You may copy this number directly from item I of Form 1.

Item III-C
This item must be completed only if you checked “yes” to item III-B.
The production information requested here is necessary to apply
effluent guidelines to your facility and you cannot claim it as
confidential. However, you do not have to indicate how the reported
information was calculated. Report quantities in the units of
measurement used in the applicable effluent guideline. The
production figures provided must be based on actual daily production
and not on design capacity or on predictions of future operations. To
obtain alternate limits under 40 CFR 122.45(b)(2)(ii), you must define
your maximum production capability and demonstrate to the Director
that your actual production is substantially below maximum
production capability and that there is a reasonable potential for an
increase above actual production during the duration of the permit.

Item I
You may use the map you provided for item XI of Form 1 to
determine the latitude and longitude of each of your outfalls and the
name of the receiving water.
Item II-A
The line drawing should show generally the route taken by water in
your facility from intake to discharge. Show all operations
contributing wastewater, including process and production areas,
sanitary flows, cooling water, and stormwater runoff. You may group
similar operations into a single unit, labeled to correspond to the
more detailed listing in item II-B. The water balance should show
average flows. Show all significant losses of water to products,
atmosphere, and discharge. You should use actual measurements
whenever available; otherwise use your best estimate. An example
of an acceptable line drawing appears in Figure 2c-1 to these
instructions.

Item IV-A
If you check “yes” to this question, complete all parts of the chart, or
attach a copy of any previous submission you have made to EPA
containing same information.

Item II-B
List all sources of wastewater to each outfall. Operations may be
described in general terms (for example, “dye-making reactor” or
“distillation tower”). You may estimate the flow contributed by each
source if no date are available. For stormwater discharges you may
estimate the average flow, but you must indicate the rainfall event
upon which the estimate is based and the method of estimation. For
each treatment unit, indicate its size, flow rate, and retention time,
and describe the ultimate disposal of any solid or liquid wastes not
discharged. Treatment units should be listed in order and you should
select the proper code from Table 2c-1 to fill in column 3-b for each
treatment unit. Insert “XX” into column 3-b if no code corresponds to
a treatment unit you list. If you are applying for a permit for a
privately owned treatment works, you must also identify all of your
contributors in an attached listing.

Item IV-B
You are not required to submit a description of future pollution
control projects if you do not wish to or if none is planned.
Item V-A, B, C, and D
The items require you to collect and report data on the pollutants
discharged for each of your outfalls. Each part of this item addresses
a different set of pollutants and must be completed in accordance
with the specific instructions for that part. The following general
instructions apply to the entire item.
General Instructions
Part A requires you to report at least one analysis for each pollutant
listed. Parts B and C require you to report analytical data in two
ways. For some pollutants, you may be required to mark “X” in the
“Testing Required” column (column 2-a, Part C), and test (sample
and analyze) and report the levels of the pollutants in your discharge
whether or not you expect them to be present in your discharge. For
all others, you must mark “X” in either the “Believe Present” column
or the “Believe Absent” column (columns 2-a or 2-b, Part B, and
columns 2-b or 2-c, Part C) based on your best estimate, and test for
those which you believe to be present. (See specific instructions on
the form and below for Parts A through D.) Base your determination
that a pollutant is present in or absent from your discharge on your

Item II-C
A discharge is intermittent unless it occurs without interruption during
the operating hours of the facility, except for infrequent shutdowns
for maintenance, process changes, or other similar activities. A
discharge is seasonal if it occurs only during certain parts of the
year. Fill in every applicable column in this item for each source of
intermittent or seasonal discharges. Base your answers on actual
data whenever available; otherwise, provide your best estimate.
Report the highest daily value for flow rate and total volume in the

times, the collection of duplicate samples, etc. The time when you
sample should be representative of your normal operation, to the
extent feasible, with all processes which contribute wastewater in
normal operation, and with your treatment system operating properly
with no system upsets. Samples should be collected from the center
of the flow channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site
specified in your present permit, or at any site adequate for the
collection of a representative sample.

knowledge of your raw materials, maintenance chemicals,
intermediate and final products and byproducts, and any previous
analyses known to you of your effluent or similar effluent. (For
example, if you manufacture pesticides, you should expect those
pesticides to be present in contaminated stormwater runoff.) If you
would expect a pollutant to be present solely as a result of its
presence in your intake water, you must mark “Believe Present” but
you are not required to analyze for that pollutant. Instead, mark an
‘X’ In the “Intake” column.
A.

For pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual chlorine, oil and
grease, and fecal coliform, grab samples must be used. For all other
pollutants 24-hour composite samples must be used. However, a
minimum of one grab sample may be taken for effluents from holding
ponds or other impoundments with a retention period of greater than
24 hours. For stormwater discharges a minimum of one to four grab
samples may be taken, depending on the duration of the discharge.
One grab must be taken in the first hour (or less) of discharge, with
one additional grab (up to a minimum of four) taken in each
succeeding hour of discharge for discharges lasting four or more
hours. The Director may waive composite sampling for any outfall for
which you demonstrate that use of an automatic sampler is infeasible
and that a minimum of four grab samples will be representative of
your discharge.

Reporting. All levels must be reported as concentration
and as total mass. You may report some or all of the
required data by attaching separate sheets of paper
instead of filling out pages V-I to V-9 if the separate sheets
contain all the required information in a format which is
consistent with pages V-I to V-9 in spacing and in
identification of pollutants and columns. (For example, the
data system used in your GC/MS analysis may be able to
print data in the proper format.) Use the following
abbreviations in the columns headed “Units” (column 3,
Part A, and column 4, Parts B and C).

Concentration

Mass

ppm…….parts per million
mg/l ...milligrams per liter
ppb.…......parts per billion
ug/l ...micrograms per liter

lbs……………...…….pounds
ton….........tons (English tons)
mg………..............milligrams
g……………….............grams
kg……………..…..kilograms

Grab and composite samples are defined as follows:
Grab sample: An individual sample of at least 100 milliliters
collected at a randomly-selected time over a period not exceeding
15 minutes.

T………..tonnes (metric tons)

Composite sample: A combination of at least 8 sample aliquots
of at least 100 milliliters, collected at periodic intervals during the
operating hours of a facility over a 24 hour period. The composite
must be flow proportional; either the time interval between each
aliquot or the volume of each aliquot must be proportional to either
the stream flow at the time of sampling or the total stream flow
since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be
collected manually or automatically. For GC/MS Volatile Organic
Analysis (VOA), aliquots must be combined in the laboratory
immediately before analysis. Four (4) (rather than eight ) aliquots
or grab samples should be collected for VOA. These four samples
should be collected during actual hours of discharge over a 24hour period and need not be flow proportioned. Only one analysis
is required.

All reporting of values for metals must be in terms of “total
recoverable metal,” unless:
(1)

An applicable, promulgated effluent limitation or standard
specifies the limitation for the metal in dissolved, valent, or total
form; or

(2)

All approved analytical methods for the metal inherently
measure only its dissolved form (e.g., hexavalent chromium); or

(3)

The permitting authority has determined that in establishing
case-by-case limitations it is necessary to express the
limitations on the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form to
carry out the provisions of the CWA.

The Agency is currently reviewing sampling requirements in light of
recent research on testing methods. Upon completion of its review,
the Agency plans to propose changes to the sampling requirements.

If you measure only one daily value, complete only the “Maximum
Daily Values” columns and insert ‘1’ into the “Number of Analyses”
column (columns 2-a and 2-d, Part A, and column 3-a, 3-d, Parts B
and C). The permitting authority may require you to conduct
additional analyses to further characterize your discharges. For
composite samples, the daily value is the total mass or average
concentration found in a composite sample taken over the operating
hours of the facility during a 24-hour period; for grab samples, the
daily value is the arithmetic or flow-weighted total mass or average
concentration found in a series of at least four grab samples taken
over the operating hours of the facility during a 24-hour period.

Data from samples taken in the past may be used, provided that:
All data requirements are met;
Sampling was done no more than three years before submission;
and
All data are representative of the present discharge.
Among the factors which would cause the data to be
unrepresentative are significant changes in production level,
changes in raw materials, processes, or final products, and changes
in wastewater treatment. When the Agency promulgates new
analytical methods in 40 CFR Part 136, EPA will provide information
as to when you should use the new methods to generate data on
your discharges. Of course, the Director may request additional
information, including current quantitative data, if she or he
determines it to be necessary to assess your discharges.

If you measure more than one daily value for a pollutant and those
values are representative of your wastestream, you must report
them. You must describe your method of testing and data analysis.
You also must determine the average of all values within the last
year and report the concentration and mass under the “Long Term
Average Values” columns (column 2-c, Part A, and column 3-c, Parts
B and C), and the total number of daily values under the “Number of
Analyses” columns (column 2-d, Part A, and columns 3-d, Parts B
and C). Also, determine the average of all daily values taken during
each calendar month, and report the highest average under the
“Maximum 30-day Values” columns (column 2-c, Part A, and column
3-b, Parts B and C).

C. Analysis: You must use test methods promulgated in 40 CFR
Part 136; however, if none has been promulgated for a particular
pollutant, you may use any suitable method for measuring the level
of the pollutant in your discharge provided that you submit a
description of the method or a reference to a published method. Your
description should include the sample holding time, preservation
techniques, and the quality control measures which you used. If you
have two or more substantially identical outfalls, you may request
permission from your permitting authority to sample and analyse only
one outfall and submit the results of the analysis for other
substantially identical outfalls. If your request is granted by the

B. Sampling: The collection of the samples for the reported
analyses should be supervised by a person experienced in
performing sampling of industrial wastewater. You may contact your
EPA or State permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling
techniques and for answers to specific questions. Any specific
requirements contained in the applicable analytical methods should
be followed for sample containers, sample preservation, holding

treatment works, determine your testing requirements on the basis of
the industry categories of your contributors. When you determine
which industry category you are in to find your testing requirements,
you are not determining your category for any other purpose and you
are not giving up your right to challenge your inclusion in that
category (for example, for deciding whether an effluent guideline is
applicable) before your permit is issued. For all other cases
(secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and
nonrequired GC/MS fractions), you must mark “X” in either the
“Believed Present” column (column 2-b) or the “Believed Absent”
column (column 2-c) for each pollutant. For every pollutant you know
or have reason to believe is present in your discharge in
concentrations of 10 ppb or greater, you must report quantitative
data. For acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2, 4 dinitrophenol, and 2-methyl-4, 6
dinitrophenol, where you expect these four pollutants to be
discharged in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater, you must report
quantitative data. For every pollutant expected to be discharged in
concentrations less than the thresholds specified above, you must
either submit quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the
pollutant is expected to be discharged. At your request the Director,
Office of Water Enforcement and Permits, may waive the
requirement to test for pollutants for an industrial category or
subcategory. Your request must be supported by data
representatives of the industrial category or subcategory in question.
The data must demonstrate that individual testing for each applicant
is unnecessary, because the facilities in question discharge
substantially identical levels of the pollutant, or discharge the
pollutant uniformly at sufficiently low levels. If you qualify as a small
business (see below) you are exempt from testing for the organic
toxic pollutants, listed on pages V-4 to V-9 in Part C. For pollutants in
intake water, see discussion in General Instructions to this item. The
“Long Term Average Values” column (column 3-c) and “Maximum
30-day Values” column (column 3-b) are not compulsory but should
be filled out if data are available. You are required to mark “Testing
Required” for dioxin if you use or manufacture one of the following
compounds:

permitting authority, on a separate sheet attached to the application
form, identify which outfall you did test, and describe why the outfalls
which you did not test are substantially identical to the outfall which
you did test.
D. Reporting of Intake Data: You are not required to report data
under the “Intake” columns unless you wish to demonstrate your
eligibility for a “net” effluent limitation for one or more pollutants, that
is, an effluent limitation adjusted by subtracting the average level of
the pollutant(s) present in your intake water, NPDES regulations
allow net limitations only in certain circumstances. To demonstrate
your eligibility, under the “Intake” columns report the average of the
results of analyses on your intake water (if your water is treated
before use, test the water after it is treated), and discuss the
requirements for a net limitation with your permitting authority.
Part V-A
Part V-A must be completed by all applicants for all outfalls, including
outfalls containing only noncontact cooling water or storm runoff.
However, at your request, the Director may waive the requirement to
test for one or more of these pollutants, upon a determination that
available information is adequate to support issuance of the permit
with less stringent reporting requirements for these pollutants. You
also may request a waiver for one or more of these pollutants for
your category or subcategory from the Director, Office of Water
Enforcement and Permits. See discussion in General Instructions to
item V for definitions of the columns in Part A. The “Long Term
Average Values” column (column 2-c) and “Maximum 30-day
Values” column (column 2-b) are not compulsory but should be filled
out if data are available.
Use composite samples for all pollutants in this Part, except use grab
samples for pH and temperature. See discussion in General
Instructions to Item V for definitions of the columns in Part A. The
“Long Term Average Values” column (column 2-c) and “Maximum
30-Day Values” column (column 2-b) are not compulsory but should
be filled out if data are available.
Part V-B
Part V-B must be completed by all applicants for all outfalls, including
outfalls containing only noncontact cooling water or storm runoff. You
must report quantitative data if the pollutant(s) in question is limited
in an effluent limitations guideline either directly, or indirectly but
expressly through limitation on an indicator (e.g., use of TSS as an
indicator to control the discharge of iron and aluminum). For other
discharged pollutants you must provide quantitative data or explain
their presence in your discharge. EPA will consider requests to the
Director of the Office of Water Enforcement and Permits to eliminate
the requirement to test for pollutants for an industrial category or
subcategory. Your request must be supported by data representative
of the industrial category or subcategory in question. The data must
demonstrate that individual testing for each applicant is unnecessary,
because the facilities in the category or subcategory discharge
substantially identical levels of the pollutant or discharge the
pollutant uniformly at sufficiently low levels. Use composite samples
for all pollutants you analyze for in this part, except use grab
samples for residual chlorine, oil and grease, and fecal coliform. The
“Long Term Average Values” column (column 3-c) and “Maximum
30-day Values” column (column 3-b) are not compulsory but should
be filled out if data are available.

(a)

2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid, (2,4,5-T);

(b)

2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid, (Silvex, 2,4,5-TP)

(c)

2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethyl 2,2-dichloropropionate, (Erbon);

(d)

0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) phosphorothioate, (Ronnel);

(e)

2,4,5,-trichlorophenol, (TCP); or

(f)

hexachlorophene, (HCP).

If you mark “Testing Required” or “Believed Present,” you must
perform a screening analysis for dioxins, using gas chromotography
with an electron capture detector. A TCDD standard for quantitation
is not required. Describe the results of this analysis in the space
provided; for example, “no measurable baseline deflection at the
retention time of TCDD” or “a measurable peak within the tolerances
of the retention time of TCDD.” The permitting authority may require
you to perform a quantitative analysis if you report a positive result.
The Effluent Guidelines Division of EPA has collected and analyzed
samples from some plants for the pollutants listed in Part C in the
course of its BAT guidelines development program. If your effluents
are sampled and analyzed as part of this program in the last three
years, you may use these data to answer Part C provided that the
permitting authority approves, and provided that no process change
or change in raw materials or operating practices has occurred since
the samples were taken that would make the analyses
unrepresentative of your current discharge.

Part V-C
Table 2c-2 lists the 34 “primary” industry categories in the lefthand
column. For each outfall, if any of your processes which contribute
wastewater falls into one of those categories, you must mark “X” in
“Testing Required” column (column 2-a) and test for (l) all of the toxic
metals, cyanide, and total phenols, and (2) the organic toxic
pollutants contained in Table 2c-2 as applicable to your category,
unless you qualify as a small business (see below). The organic toxic
pollutants are listed by GC/MS fractions on pages V-4 to V-9 in Part
V-C. For example, the Organic Chemicals Industry has an asterisk in
all four fractions; therefore, applicants in this category must test for
all organic toxic pollutants in Part V-C. The inclusion of total phenols
in Part V-C is not intended to classify total phenols as a toxic
pollutant. If you are applying for a permit for a privately owned

Small Business Exemption: If you qualify as a “small business”,
you are exempt from the reporting requirements for the organic toxic
pollutants, listed on pages V-4 to V-9 in Part C. There are two ways
in which you can qualify as a “small business.” If your facility is a coal
mine, and if your probable total annual production is less than
100,000 tons per year, you may submit past production data or
estimated future production (such as a schedule of estimated total
production under 30 CFR § 795.14(c)) instead of conducting
analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. If your facility is not a coal
mine, and if your gross total annual sales for the most recent three
years average less than $100,000 per year (in second quarter 1980

dollars), you may submit sales data for those years instead of
conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. The production
or sales data must be for the facility which is the source of the
discharge. The data should not be limited to production or sales for
the process or processes which contribute to the discharge, unless
those are the only processes at your facility. For sales data, in
situations involving intracorporate transfer of goods and services, the
transfer price per unit should approximate market prices for those
goods and services as closely as possible. Sales figures for years
after 1980 should be indexed to the second quarter of 1980 by using
the gross national product price deflator (second quarter of
1980=100). This index is available in National Income and Product
Accounts of the United States (Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis).

(A) For a corporation: by a responsible corporate official. For
purposes of this section, a responsible corporate official means (i) a
president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in
charge of a principal business function, or any other person who
performs similar policy- or decision-making functions for the
corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing,
production, or operating facilities employing more than 250 persons
or having gross annual sales or expenditures exceeding $25,000,000
(in second-quarter 1980 dollars), if authority to sign documents has
been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with
corporate procedures.
Note: EPA does not require specific assignments or delegation of
authority to responsible corporate officers identified in
§122.22(a)(1)(i). The Agency will presume that these responsible
corporate officers have the requisite authority to sign permit
applications unless the corporation has notified the director to the
contrary. Corporate procedures governing authority to sign permit
applications may provide for assignment or delegation to applicable
corporate position under §122.22(a)(1)(ii) rather than to specific
individuals.

Part V-D
List any pollutants in Table 2c-3 that you believe to be present and
explain why you believe them to be present. No analysis is required,
but if you have analytical data, you must report it.
Note: Under 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2), certain discharges of hazardous
substances (listed in Table 2c-4 of these instructions) may be
exempted from the requirements of section 311 of CWA, which
establishes reporting requirements, civil penalties and liability for
cleanup costs for spills of oil and hazardous substances. A discharge
of a particular substance may be exempted if the origin, source, and
amount of the discharged substances are identified in the NDPES
permit application or in the permit, if the permit contains a
requirement for treatment of the discharge, and if the treatment is in
place. To apply for an exclusion of the discharge of any hazardous
substance from the requirements of section 311, attach additional
sheets of paper to your form, setting forth the following information:
1.

The substance and the amount of each substance which may
be discharged.

2.

The origin and source of the discharge of the substance.

3.

(B) For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or
the proprietor, respectively; or
(C) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: by
either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For
purposes of this section, a principal executive officer of a Federal
Agency includes (i) the chief executive officer of the Agency, or (ii) a
senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall
operations of a principal geographic unit of the Agency (e.g.,
Regional Administrators of EPA). Applications for Group II
stormwater dischargers may be signed by a duly authorized
representative (as defined in 40 CFR 122.22(b)) of the individuals
identified above.

The treatment which is to be provided for the discharge by:
a.

An onsite treatment system separate from any treatment
system treating your normal discharge;

b.

A treatment system designed to treat your normal
discharge and which is additionally capable of treating the
amount of the substance identified under paragraph 1
above; or

c.

Any combination of the above.

See 40 CFR §117.12(a)(2) and (c) published on August 29, 1979, in
44 FR 50766, or contact your Regional Office (Table 1 on Form 1,
Instructions), for further information on exclusions from section 311.
Item VI
This requirement applies to current use or manufacture of a toxic
pollutant as an intermediate or final product or byproduct. The
Director may waive or modify the requirement if you demonstrate
that it would be unduly burdensome to identify each toxic pollutant
and the Director has adequate information to issue your permit. You
may not claim this information as confidential; however, you do not
have to distinguish between use or production of the pollutants or list
the amounts.
Item VII
Self explanatory. The permitting authority may ask you to provide
additional details after your application is received.
Item IX
The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for submitting
false information on this application form.
Section 309(c)(2) of the Clean Water Act provides that “Any person
who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or
certification in any application,... shall upon conviction, be punished
by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more
than six months, or by both.”

OUTFALL NUMBER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C
PART C - If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2c-2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC/MS fractions you must test for. Mark “X” in column 2-a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS
fractions), mark “X” in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark “X” in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for
additional details and requirements.

Form 2D Instructions
Item III-B
An example of an acceptable line drawing appears in Figure 2D-1 to
these instructions. The line drawing should show the route taken by
water in your proposed facility form intake to discharge. Show all
sources of wastewater, including process and production areas,
sanitary flows, cooling water, and storm water runoff. You may group
similar operations into a single unit, labeled to correspond to the
more detailed listing in Item III-A. The water balance should show
estimates of anticipated average flows. Show all significant losses of
water to production, atmosphere, and discharge. You should use
your best estimates.

Form 2D must be completed in conjunction with EPA form 3510-1
(Form 1).
This form must be completed by applicants who checked “yes” to
Item II-D in Application Form 1. However, facilities which discharge
only nonprocess wastewater that is not regulated by an effluent
limitations guideline or new source performance standard may use
EPA Form 3510-2E (Form 2E). Educational, medical, and
commercial chemical laboratories should use this form or EPA Form
3510-2C (Form 2C). To further determine if you are a new source or
a new discharger, see §122.2 and §122.29. This form should not be
used for discharges of stormwater runoff.

Item III-C
Fill in every applicable column in this item for each source of
intermittent or seasonal discharge. Base your answers on your best
estimate. A discharge is intermittent if it occurs with interruptions
during the operating hours of the facility. Discharges caused by
routine maintenance shutdowns, process changes, or other similar
activities are not considered to be intermittent. A discharge is
seasonal if it occurs only during certain parts of the year. The
reported flow rate is the highest daily value and should be measured
in gallons per day. Maximum total volume means the total volume of
any one discharge within 24 hours and is measured in units such as
gallons.

Public Availability of Submitted Information.
You may not claim as confidential any information required by this
form or Form 1, whether the information is reported on the forms or
in an attachment, Section 402(j) of the CWA requires that all permit
applications shall be available to the public. This information will
therefore be made available to the public upon request.
You may not claim as confidential any information you submit to EPA
which goes beyond that required by this form and Form 1.
Confidentiality claims for effluent data must be denied. If you do not
assert a claim of confidentiality at the time of submitting the
information, EPA may make the information public without further
notice. Claims of confidentiality will be handled in accordance with
EPA’s business confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2.

Item IV
“Production” in this question refers to those goods which the
proposed facility will produce, not to “wastewater” production. This
information is only necessary where production-based new source
performance standards (NSPS) or effluent guidelines apply to your
facility. Your estimated production figures should be based on a
realistic projection of actual daily production level (not design
capacity) for each of the first three operating years of the facility. This
estimate must be a long-term-average estimate (e.g., average
production on an annual basis). If production will vary depending on
long-term shifts in operating schedule or capacity, the applicant may
report alternative production estimates and the basis for the alternate
estimates.

Completeness
Your application will not be considered complete unless you answer
every question on this form and on Form 1 (except as instructed
below). If an items does not apply to you, enter “NA” (for “not
applicable”) to show that you considered the question.
Followup Requirements
Although you are now required to submit estimated data on this form
(Form 2D), please note that no later than two years after you begin
discharging from the proposed facility, you must complete and
submit Items V and VI of NPDES application Form 2C (EPA Form
3510-2C). However, you need not complete those portions of Item V
requiring tests which you have already performed under the
discharge monitoring requirements of your NPDES permit. In
addition, the permitting authority may waive requirements of Items VA and VI if the permittee makes the demonstrations required under
40 CFR §122.22(g)(7)(i)(B) and 122.21(g)(9).

If known, report quantities in the units of measurement used in the
applicable NSPS or effluent guideline. For example, if the applicable
NSPS is expressed as “grams of pollutant discharged per kilogram of
unit production,” then report maximum “Quantity Per Day” in
kilograms. If you do not know whether any NPSP or effluent
guideline applies to your facility, report quantities in any unit of
measurement known to you. If an effluent guideline or NSPS
specifies a method for estimating production, that method must be
followed.

Definitions
All significant terms used in these instructions and in the form are
defined in the glossary found in the General Instructions which
accompany Form 1.

There is no need to conduct new studies to obtain these figures; only
data already on hand are required. You are not required to indicate
how the reported information was calculated.

Item I
You may use the map you provided for Item XI of Form 1 to
determine the latitude and longitude (to the nearest 15 seconds) of
each of your outfalls and the name of the receiving water. You
should name all waters to which discharge is made and which flow
into significant receiving waters. For example, if the discharge is
made to a ditch which flows into an unnamed tributary which in turn
flows into a named river, you should provide the name or description
(if no name is available) of the ditch, the tributary, and the river.

Item V-A, B, and C
These items require you to estimate and report data on the pollutants
expected to be discharged from each of your outfalls. Where there is
more than one outfall, you should submit a separate Item V for each
outfall. For Part C only a list is required. Sampling and analysis are
not required at this time. If, however, data from such analyses are
available, then those data should be reported. Each part of this item
addresses a different set of pollutants or parameters and must be
completed in accordance with the specific instructions for that part.
The following are the general and specific instructions for Items V-A
through V-C.

Item II
This item requires your best estimate of the date on which your
facility or new outfall will begin to discharge.

Item V – General Instructions
Each part of this item requires you to provide an estimated maximum
daily and average daily value for each pollutant or parameter listed
(see Table 2D-2), according to the specific instructions below. The
source of the data is also required.

Item III-A
List all outfalls, their source (operations contributing to the flow), and
estimate an average flow from each source. Briefly describe the
planned treatment for these wastewaters prior to discharge. Also
describe the ultimate disposal of any solid or liquid wastes not
discharged. You should describe the treatment in either a narrative
form or list the proper code for the treatment unit from a list provided
in Table 2D-1.

EPA Form 3510-2D (Rev. 8-90)

For Parts A through C, base your determination of whether a
pollutant will be present in your discharge on your knowledge of the
proposed facility’s raw materials, maintenance chemicals,

I-1

through promulgated limitations on an indicator pollutant. The priority
pollutants in Group B are divided into the following three sections:

intermediate and final products, byproducts, and any analyses of
your effluent or of any similar effluent. You may also provide the
determination and the estimates based on available in-house or
contractor’s engineering reports or any other studies performed on
the proposed facility (see Item VI of the form). If you expect a
pollutant to be present solely as a result of its presence in your
intake water, please state this information on the form.

1) Metal toxic pollutants, total cyanide, and total phenols
2) 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxin (TCDD) (CAS # 1764-016)
3) Organic Toxic Pollutants (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Fractions)

Please note that no later than 2 years after you begin discharging
from the proposed facility, you must complete and submit Items V
and VI of NPDES application Form 2C (followup data).

a)
b)
c)
d)

Reporting Intake Data. You are not required to report pollutants or
parameters present in intake water unless you wish to demonstrate
your eligibility for a “net” effluent limitation for these pollutants or
parameters, that is, an effluent limitation adjusted to provide
allowance for the pollutants or parameters present in your intake
water. If you wish to obtain credits for pollutants or parameters
present in your intake water, please insert a separate sheet, with a
short statement of why you believe you are eligible (see §122.45(g)),
under Item VII (Other Information). You will then be contacted by the
permitting authority for further instructions.

Volatile compounds
Acid compounds
Base/neutral compounds
Pesticides

For pollutants listed in Sections 1 and 3, you must report estimates
as instructed above:
For Section 2, you are required to report that TCDD may be
discharged if you will use or manufacture one of the following
compounds, or if you know or have reason to believe that TCDD is or
may be present in an effluent:
A. 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T) (CAS # 93-765);

All estimated pollutant or parameter levels must be reported as
concentration and as total mass, except for discharge flow,
temperature, and pH. Total mass is the total weight of pollutants or
parameters discharged over a day.

B. 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (Silvex, 2,4, 5TP) (CAS
# 93-72-1);

Use the following abbreviations for units:

D. 0, O-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) phosphorothioate
(Ronnel) (CAS # 299-84-3);

(CAS # 136-25-4);

Small Business Exemption
If you are a “small business,” you are exempt from the reporting
requirement for Item V-B (section 3). You may qualify as a “small
business” if you it one of the following definitions:

Source
In providing the estimates, use the codes in the following table to
indicate the source of such information in column 4 of Parts V – A
and – B.

1) Your expected gross sales will total less than $100,000 per year
for the next three years, or
2) In the case of coal mines, you average production will be less
than 100,000 tons of coal per year.

Code
Engineering study ..................................................................... 1
Actual data from pilot plants...................................................... 1
Estimates from other engineering studies................................. 2
Data from other similar plants ................................................... 3
Best professional estimates ...................................................... 4
Others ........................................................... specify on the form

If you are a “small business,” you may submit projected sales or
production figures to qualify for this exemption. The sales or
production figures you submit must be for the facility which is the
source of the discharge. The data should not be limited only to
production or sales for the process or processes which contribute to
the discharge, unless those are the only processes at your facility.
For sales data, where intracorporate transfers of goods and services
are involved, the transfer price per unit should approximate market
prices for those goods and services as closely as possible. If
necessary, you may index your sales figures to the second quarter of
1980 to demonstrate your eligibility for a small business exemption.
This may be done by using the gross national product price deflator
(second quarter of 1980 = 100), an index available in “National
Income and Product Accounts of the United States” (Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis).

Item V-A
Estimates of data on pollutants or parameters in Group A must be
reported by all applicants for all outfalls: including outfalls containing
only noncontact cooling water or nonprocess wastewater.
To request a waiver from reporting any of these pollutants or
parameters, the applicant must submit to the permitting authority a
written request specifying which pollutants or parameters should be
waived and the reasons for requesting such a waiver. This request
should be submitted to the permitting authority before or with the
permit application. The permitting authority may waive the
requirements for information about these pollutants or parameters if
he or she determines that less stringent reporting requirements are
adequate to support issuance of the permit. No extensive
documentation will normally be needed, but the applicant should
contact the permitting authority if she or he wishes to receive
instructions on what his or her particular request should contain.

The small business exemption applies to the GC/MS fractions
(Section 3) of Item V-B only. Even if you are eligible for a small
business exemption, you are still required to provide information on
metals, cyanide, total phenols, and dioxin in Item V-B, as well as all
of Items V-A and C.
Item V-C
List any pollutants in Table 2D-3 that you believe to be present in
any outfalls and briefly explain why you believe they will be present.
No estimate of the pollutant’s quantity is required, unless you already
have quantitative data.

Item V-B
Estimates of data on pollutants in Group B must be reported by all
applicants for all outfalls, including outfalls containing only
noncontact cooling water or nonprocess wastewater. You are merely
required to report estimates for those pollutants which you know or
have reason to believe will be discharged or which are limited
directly by an effluent limitations guideline (or NSPS) or indirectly

EPA Form 3510-2D (Rev. 8-90)

Note: The discharge of pollutants listed in Table 2D-4 may subject
you to the additional requirements of section 311 of the CWA (Oil
and Hazardous Substance Liability). These requirements are not
administered through the NPDES program. However, if you wish an
exemption under 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2) from these requirements,
attach additional sheets of paper to this form providing the following
information:
I-2

A. The substance and the amount of each substance which may be
discharged;

Item VII
A space is provided for additional information which you believe
would be useful in setting permit limits, such as additional sampling.
Any response is optional.

B. The origin and source of the discharge of the substance;
C. The treatment which is to be provided for the discharge by:
1. An onsite treatment system separate from any treatment
system which will treat your normal discharge;
2. A treatment system designed to treat your normal discharge
and which is additionally capable of treating the amount of the
substance identified under paragraph 1 above; or
3. Any combination of the above.

Item VIII
The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for submitting
false information on this application form.
Section 309(c)(2) of the Clean Water Act provides that “Any person
who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or
certification in any application,… shall upon conviction, be punished
by a fine of no more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more
than six months, or both.”

An exemption from the section 311 reporting requirements pursuant
to 40 CFR Part 117 for pollutants on Table 2D does not exempt you
from the section 402 reporting requirements pursuant to 40 CFR Part
122 (Item V-C) for pollutants listed on Table 2D-3.

40 CFR Part 122.22 Requires the Certification to be Signed as
Follows:

Form 2E Instructions
you, enter “NA” (for “not applicable”) to show that you
considered the question.

Who Must File Form 2E
EPA Form 3510-2E must be completed in conjunction with
EPA Form 3510-1 (Form 1). This short form may be used
only by operators of facilities which discharge only
nonprocess wastewater (process wastewater is water that
comes into direct contact with or results from the production
or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished
product, byproduct, waste product, or wastewater) which is
not regulated by effluent limitations guidelines or new source
performance standards. The form is intended primarily for
use by dischargers (new or existing) of sanitary wastes and
noncontact cooling water. It may not be used for discharges
of stormwater runoff or by educational, medical, or
commercial chemical laboratories or by publicly owned
treatment works (POTW’s).

Followup Requirements for New Dischargers and
New Sources
Please note that no later than 2 years after commencement
of discharge from the proposed facility, you must complete
and submit Item IV of this form (NPDES Form 2E). At that
time you must test and report actual rather than estimated
data for the pollutants or parameters in Item IV, unless
waived by the permitting authority.
Definitions
Significant terms used in these instructions and in the
form are defined in the Glossary found in the General
Instructions accompanying Form 1.

Where to File Applications

Item I

The application forms should be sent to the EPA
Regional Office which covers the State in which the
facility is located. Form 2E (the short form) must be used
only when applying for permits in States where the
NPDES permits program is administered by EPA. For
facilities located in States which are approved to
administer the NPDES permits program, the State
environmental agency should be contacted for proper
permit application forms and instructions. Information on
whether a particular program is administered by EPA or
by a State agency can be obtained from your EPA
Regional Office. Form 1, Table 1 of the “General
Instructions” lists the addresses of EPA Regional Offices
and the States within the jurisdiction of each Office.

Under Part A, list an outfall number. Under Part B, list the
latitude and longitude to the nearest 15 seconds for this
outfall. Under Part C, list the name of the outfall’s receiving
water. When there is more than one outfall, you must submit
a separate Form 2E (Items I, III, and IV only) for each outfall.
Item II (New Dischargers Only)
This item requires your best estimate of the date on
which your facility will begin to discharge.
Item III
In Part A, indicate the general type(s) of wastes to be
discharged by placing an “x” in the appropriate box(es).
If “other nonprocess wastewater” is marked, it should be
identified. If cooling water additives are to be used, they
must be listed by name under Part B.

Public Availability of Submitted Information
You may not claim as confidential any information
required by this form or Form1, whether the information
is reported on the forms or in an attachment. Section
402(j) of the CWA requires that all permit applications
shall be available to the public. This information will
therefore be made public upon request.

In addition, the composition of the cooling water
additives should be listed if this information is available.
The composition of cooling water additives may be found
on product labels or from manufacturer’s data sheets.
Item IV — Reporting

You may claim as confidential any information you submit to
EPA which goes beyond that required by this form or Form
1. However, confidentiality claims for effluent data must be
denied. If you do not assert a claim of confidentiality at the
time of submitting the information, EPA may make the
information public without further notice. Claims of
confidentiality will be handled in accordance with EPA’s
business confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2.

All pollutant levels must be reported as concentration and as
total mass (except for discharge flow, pH, and temperature).
Total mass is the total weight of pollutants discharged over a
day. Use the following abbreviations for units:

Code
Actual data from pilot plants .....................................1
Estimates from other engineering studies ................2
Data from other similar plants...................................3
Best professional estimates......................................4
Others .......................................... specify on the form

A. Existing Sources
You are required to provide at least one analysis for
each pollutant or parameter listed by filling in the
requested information under the applicable column. Data
reported must be representative of the facility’s current
operation (average daily value over the previous 365
days should be reported). Most facilities routinely
monitor these pollutants or parameters as part of
existing permit requirements.

C. Testing Waivers
To request a waiver from reporting any of these
pollutants or parameters, the applicant (whether a new
or existing discharger) must submit to the permitting
authority a written request specifying which pollutants or
parameters should be waived and the reasons for
requesting a waiver. This request should be submitted to
the permitting authority before or with the permit
application. The permitting authority may waive the
requirements for information about any pollutant or
parameter if he determines that less stringent reporting
requirements are adequate to support issuance of the
permit. No extensive documentation of the request will
normally be needed, but the applicant should contact the
permitting authority if her or she wishes to receive
instructions on what his or her particular request should
contain.

The pollutants or parameters listed are: average flow,
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended
solids (TSS), fecal coliform (if believed present or if
sanitary waste is discharged), pH, total residual chlorine
(if chlorine is used), temperature (winter and summer),
oil and grease, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total
organic carbon (TOC) (COD and TOC are only required
if noncontact cooling water is discharged), and ammonia
(as N). The analysis of these pollutants or parameters
must be done in accordance with procedures
promulgated in 40 CFR Part 136. Grab samples must be
used for pH, temperature, residual chlorine, oil and
grease, and fecal coliform. For all other pollutants, 24hour composite samples must be used. Any further
questions on sampling or analysis should be directed to
your EPA or State permitting authority. The authority
may request that you do additional testing, if appropriate,
on a case-by-case basis under Section 308 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA).

Item V
Describe the average frequency of flow and duration of
any intermittent or seasonal discharge (except for
stormwater runoff, leaks, or spills). The frequency of flow
means the number of days or months per year there is
intermittent discharge. Duration means the number of
days or hours per discharge. For new dischargers, base
your answers on your best estimate.

If you expect a pollutant to be present solely as a result
of its presence in you intake water, state this information
on Item VII of the form.
B. New dischargers

Item VI

Your are required to provide an estimated maximum
daily and average daily value for each pollutant or
parameter (exceptions noted on the form). Please note
that followup testing and reporting are required no later
than 2 years after the facility starts to discharge.
Sampling and analysis are not required at this time. If,
however, data from such analyses are available, then
such data should be reported. The source of the
estimates is also required. Base your determination of
whether a pollutant will be present in your discharge on
your knowledge of the proposed facility’s use of
maintenance chemicals, and any analyses of your
effluent or of any similar effluent. You may also provide
the estimates based on available inhouse or contractor’s
engineering reports or any other studies performed on
the proposed facility. If you expect a pollutant or
parameter to be present solely as a result of its presence
in your intake water, state this information on Item VII of
the form.

Describe briefly any treatment system(s) used (or to be
used for new dischargers), indicating whether the
treatment system is physical, chemical, biological,
sludge and disposal, or other. Also give the particular
type(s) of process(es) used (or to be used). For
example, if a physical treatment system is used (or will
be used), specify the processes applied, such as grit
removal, ammonia stripping, dialysis, etc.
Item VII
This item is intended for you to provide any additional
information (such as sampling results) that you feel
should be considered by the reviewer in establishing
permit limitations. Any response here is optional. If you
wish to demonstrate your eligibility for a “net” effluent
limitation, i.e., an effluent limitation adjusted to provide
credit for the pollutant(s) present in your intake water,
please add a short statement of why you believe you are
eligible (see §122.45(g)). You will then be contacted by
the permitting authority for further instructions.

In providing the estimates, use the codes in the following
table to indicate the source of such information.

Associated with Industrial Activity
Who Must File Form 2F
Form 2F must be completed by operators of facilities which discharge storm water associated with industrial
activity or by operators of storm water discharges that EPA is evaluating for designation as a significant
contributor of pollutants to waters of the United States, or as contributing to a violation of a water quality
standard.
Operators of discharges which are composed entirely of storm water must complete Form 2F (EPA Form
3510-2F) in conjunction with Form 1 (EPA Form 3510-1).
Operators of discharges of storm water which are combined with process wastewater (process wastewater is
water that comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material,
intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, waste product, or wastewater) must complete and submit
Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2C (EPA Form 3510-2C).
Operators of discharges of storm water which are combined with nonprocess wastewater (nonprocess
wastewater includes noncontact cooling water and sanitary wastes which are not regulated by effluent
guidelines or a new source performance standard, except discharges by educational, medical, or commercial
chemical laboratories) must complete Form 1, Form 2F, and Form 2E (EPA Form 3510 2E).
Operators of new sources or new discharges of storm water associated with industrial activity which will be
combined with other nonstormwater new sources or new discharges must submit Form 1, Form 2F, and Form
2D (EPA Form 3510-2D).
Where to File Applications
The application forms should be sent to the EPA Regional Office which covers the State in which the facility is

each well where fluids from the facility are injected underground; and
springs, and other surface water bodies which receive storm water discharges from the facility;
Item IV-A
For each outfall, provide an estimate of the area drained by the outfall which is covered by impervious
surfaces. For the purpose of this application, impervious surfaces are surfaces where storm water runs off at
rates that are significantly higher than background rates (e.g., predevelopment levels) and include paved
areas, building roofs, parking lots, and roadways. Include an estimate of the total area (including all
impervious and pervious areas) drained by each outfall. The site map required under item III can be used to
estimate the total area drained by each outfall.
Item IV-B
Provide a narrative description of significant materials that are currently or in the past three years have been
treated, stored, or disposed in a manner to allow exposure to storm water; method of treatment, storage or
disposal of these materials; past and present materials management practices employed, in the last three
years, to minimize contact by these materials with storm water runoff; materials loading and access areas;
and the location, manner, and frequency in which pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, and fertilizers are
applied. Significant materials should be identified by chemical name, form (e.g., powder, liquid, etc.), and type
of container or treatment unit. Indicate any materials treated, stored, or disposed of together. “Significant
materials” includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents, and
plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or
production; hazardous substances designated under Section 101 (14) of CERCLA; any chemical the facility is
required to report pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such
as ashes, slag and sludge that have the potential to be released with storm water discharges.
Item IV-C
For each outfall, structural controls Include structures which enclose material handling or storage areas,
covering materials, berms, dikes, or diversion ditches around manufacturing, production, storage or treatment
units, retention ponds, etc. Nonstructural controls include practices such as spill prevention plans, employee
training, visual inspections, preventive maintenance, and housekeeping measures that are used to prevent or
minimize the potential for releases of pollutants.

EPA Form 3510-2F (Rev. 1-92)

I-2

Item V
Provide a certification that all outfalls that should contain storm water discharges associated with industrial
activity have been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-storm water discharges which are not covered
by an NPDES permit. Tests for such non-storm water discharges may include smoke tests, fluorometric dye
tests, analysis of accurate schematics, as well as other appropriate tests. Part B must include a description of
the method used, the date of any testing, and the onsite drainage points that were directly observed during a
test. All non-storm water discharges must be identified in a Form 2C or Form 2E which must accompany this
application (see beginning of instructions under section titled “Who Must File Form 2F” for a description of
when Form 2C and Form 2E must be submitted).
Item VI
Provide a description of existing information regarding the history of significant leaks or spills of toxic or
hazardous pollutants at the facility in the last three years.
Item VII-A, B, and C
These items require you to collect and report data on the pollutants discharged for each of your outfalls. Each
part of this item addresses a different set of pollutants and must be completed in accordance with the specific
instructions for that part. The following general instructions apply to the entire item.
General Instructions
Part A requires you to report at least one analysis for each pollutant listed. Parts B and C require you to report
analytical data in two ways. For some pollutants addressed in Parts B and C, if you know or have reason to
know that the pollutant is present in your discharge, you may be required to list the pollutant and test (sample
and analyze) and report the levels of the pollutants in your discharge. For all other pollutants addressed in
Parts B and C, you must list the pollutant if you know or have reason to know that the pollutant is present in
the discharge, and either report quantitative data for the pollutant or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant
is expected to be discharged. (See specific instructions on the form and below for Parts A through C.) Base
your determination that a pollutant is present in or absent from your discharge on your knowledge of your raw
materials, material management practices, maintenance chemicals, history of spills and releases,
intermediate and final products and byproducts, and any previous analyses known to you of your effluent or
similar effluent.
A. Sampling: The collection of the samples for the reported analyses should be supervised by a person
experienced in performing sampling of industrial wastewater or storm water discharges. You may contact
EPA or your State permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling techniques and for answers to
specific questions. Any specific requirements contained in the applicable analytical methods should be
followed for sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, the collection of duplicate samples,
etc. The time when you sample should be representative, to the extent feasible, of your treatment system
operating properly with no system upsets. Samples should be collected from the center of the flow
channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site specified in your present permit, or at any site
adequate for the collection of a representative sample.
For pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual chlorine, oil and grease, and fecal coliform, grab
samples taken during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge must be
used (you are not required to analyze a flow-weighted composite for these parameters). For all other
pollutants both a grab sample collected during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable)
of the discharge and a flow-weighted composite sample must be analyzed. However, a minimum of one
grab sample may be taken for effluents from holding ponds or other impoundments with a retention period
of greater than 24 hours.
All samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1
inches and at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event.
Where feasible, the variance in the duration of the event and the total rainfall of the event should not
exceed 50 percent from the average or median rainfall event in that area.
A grab sample shall be taken during the first thirty minutes of the discharge (or as soon thereafter as
practicable), and a flow-weighted composite shall be taken for the entire event or for the first three hours
of the event.

EPA Form 3510-2F (Rev. 1-92)

I-3

Grab and composite samples are defined as follows:
Grab sample: An individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected during the first thirty minutes
(or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge. This sample is to be analyzed separately from
the composite sample.
Flow-weighted Composite sample: A flow-weighted composite sample may be taken with a
continuous sampler that proportions the amount of sample collected with the flow rate or as a
combination of a minimum of three sample aliquots taken in each hour of discharge for the entire
event or for the first three hours of the event, with each aliquot being at least 100 milliliters and
collected with a minimum period of fifteen minutes between aliquot collections. The composite must
be flow proportional; either the time interval between each aliquot or the volume of each aliquot must
be proportional to either the stream flow at the time of sampling or the total stream flow since the
collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be collected manually or automatically. Where GC/MS
Volatile Organic Analysis (VOA) is required, aliquots must be combined in the laboratory immediately
before analysis. Only one analysis for the composite sample is required.
Data from samples taken in the past may be used, provided that:
All data requirements are met;
Sampling was done no more than three years before submission; and
All data are representative of the present discharge.
Among the factors which would cause the data to be unrepresentative are significant changes in
production level, changes in raw materials, processes, or final products, and changes in storm water
treatment. When the Agency promulgates new analytical methods in 40 CFR Part 136, EPA will provide
information as to when you should use the new methods to generate data on your discharges. Of course,
the Director may request additional information, including current quantitative data, if they determine it to
be necessary to assess your discharges. The Director may allow or establish appropriate site-specific
sampling procedures or requirements including sampling locations, the season in which the sampling
takes place, the minimum duration between the previous measurable storm event and the storm event
sampled, the minimum or maximum level of precipitation required for an appropriate storm event, the form
of precipitation sampled (snow melt or rainfall), protocols for collecting samples under 40 CFR Part 136,
and additional time for submitting data on a case-by-case basis.
B. Reporting: All levels must be reported as concentration and mass (note: grab samples are reported in
terms of concentration). You may report some or all of the required data by attaching separate sheets of
paper instead of filling out pages VII-1 and VII-2 if the separate sheets contain all the required information
in a format which is constant with pages VII-1 and VII-2 in spacing and identification of pollutants and
columns. Use the following abbreviations in the columns headed “Units.”

All reporting of values for metals must be in terms of “total recoverable metal,” unless:
(1) An applicable, promulgated effluent limitation or standard specifies the limitation for the metal in
dissolved, valent, or total form; or
(2) All approved analytical methods for the metal inherently measure only its dissolved form (e.g.,
hexavalent chromium); or
(3) The permitting authority has determined that in establishing case-by-case limitations it is
necessary to express the limitations on the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form to carry out the
provisions of the CWA. If you measure only one grab sample and one flow-weighted composite

sample for a given outfall, complete only the “Maximum Values” columns and insert “1” into the
“Number of Storm Events Sampled” column. The permitting authority may require you to conduct
additional analyses to further characterize your discharges.
If you measure more than one value for a grab sample or a flow-weighted composite sample for a given
outfall and those values are representative of your discharge, you must report them. You must describe
your method of testing and data analysis. You also must determine the average of all values within the
last year and report the concentration and mass under the “Average Values” columns, and the total
number of storm events sampled under the “Number of Storm Events Sampled” columns.
C. Analysis: You must use test methods promulgated in 40 CFR Part 136; however, if none has been
promulgated for a particular pollutant, you may use any suitable method for measuring the level of the
pollutant in your discharge provided that you submit a description of the method or a reference to a
published method. Your description should include the sample holding time, preservation techniques, and
the quality control measures which you used. If you have two or more substantially identical outfalls, you
may request permission from your permitting authority to sample and analyze only one outfall and submit
the results of the analysis for other substantially identical outfalls. If your request is granted by the
permitting authority, on a separate sheet attached to the application form, identify which outfall you did
test, and describe why the outfalls which you did not test are substantially identical to the outfall which
you did test.
Part VII-A
Part VII-A must be completed by all applicants for all outfalls who must complete Form 2F.
Analyze a grab sample collected during the first thirty minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the
discharge and flow-weighted composite samples for all pollutants in this Part, and report the results except
use only grab samples for pH and oil and grease. See discussion in General Instructions to Item VII for
definitions of grab sample collected during the first thirty minutes of discharge and flow-weighted composite
sample. The “Average Values” column is not compulsory but should be filled out if data are available.
Part VII B
List all pollutants that are limited in an effluent guideline which the facility is subject to (see 40 CFR
Subchapter N to determine which pollutants are limited in effluent guidelines) or any pollutant listed in the
facility's NPDES permit for its process wastewater (if the facility is operating under an existing NPIDES
permit). Complete one table for each outfall. See discussion in General instructions to item VII for definitions
of grab sample collected during the first thirty minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of discharge and
flow-weighted composite sample. The “Average Values” column is not compulsory but should be filled out if
data are available.
Analyze a grab sample collected during the first thirty minutes of the discharge and flow-weighted composite
samples for all pollutants in this Part, and report the results, except as provided in the General Instructions.
Part VII-C
Part V11-C must be completed by all applicants for all outfalls which discharge storm water associated with
industrial activity, or that EPA is evaluating for designation as a significant contributor of pollutants to waters
of the United States, or as contributing to a violation of a water quality standard. Use both a grab sample and
a composite sample for all pollutants you analyze for in this part except use grab samples for residual chlorine
and fecal coliform. The “Average Values” column is not compulsory but should be filled out if data are
available. Part C requires you to address the pollutants in Table 2F-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 for each outfall.
Pollutants in each of these Tables are addressed differently.
Table 2F-2: For each outfall, list all pollutants in Table 2F-2 that you know or have reason to believe are
discharged (except pollutants previously listed in Part VII-B). If a pollutant is limited in an effluent guideline
limitation which the facility is subject to, the pollutant must be analyzed and reported in Part VII-B. If a
pollutant in Table 2F-2 is indirectly limited by an effluent guideline limitation through an indicator (e.g., use of
TSS as an indicator to control the discharge of iron and aluminum), you must analyze for it and report the
data in Part VII-B. For other pollutants listed in Table 2F-2 (those not limited directly or indirectly by an effluent
limitation guideline), that you know or have reason to believe are discharged, you must either report
quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged.

EPA Form 3510-2F (Rev. 1-92)

I-5

Table 2F-3: For each outfall, list all pollutants in Table 2F-3 that you know or have reason to believe are
discharged. For every pollutant in Table 2F-3 expected to be discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or
greater, you must submit quantitative data. For acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, and 2-methyl-4,6
dinitrophenol, you must submit quantitative data if any of these four pollutants is expected to be discharged in
concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. For every pollutant expected to be discharged in concentrations less
than 10 ppb (or 100 ppb for the four pollutants listed above), then you must either submit quantitative data or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged.
Small Business Exemption - If you are a “small business,” you are exempt from the reporting requirements
for the organic toxic pollutants listed in Table 2F-3. There are two ways in which you can qualify as a small
business”. If your facility is a coal mine, and if your probable total annual production is less than 100,000 tons
per year, you may submit past production data or estimated future production (such as a schedule of
estimated total production under 30 CFR 795.14(c)) instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic
pollutants. If your facility is not a coal mine, and if your gross total annual sales for the most recent three
years average less than $100,000 per year (in second quarter 1980 dollars), you may submit sales data for
those years instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. The production or sales data must
be for the facility which is the source of the discharge. The data should not be limited to production or sales
for the process or processes which contribute to the discharge, unless those are the only processes at your
facility. For sales data, in situations involving intracorporate transfer of goods and services, the transfer price
per unit should approximate market prices for those goods and services as closely as possible. Sales figures
for years after 1980 should be indexed to the second quarter of 1980 by using the gross national product
price deflator (second quarter of 1980=100). This index is available in National Income and Product Accounts
of the United States (Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis).
Table 2F-4: For each outfall, list any pollutant in Table 2F-4 that you know or believe to be present in the
discharge and explain why you believe it to be present. No analysis is required, but if you have analytical
data, you must report them. Note: Under 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2), certain discharges of hazardous substances
(listed at 40 CFR 177.21 or 40 CFR 302.4) may be exempted from the requirements of section 311 of CWA,
which establishes reporting requirements, civil penalties, and liability for cleanup costs for spills of oil and
hazardous substances. A discharge of a particular substance may be exempted if the origin, source, and
amount of the discharged substances are identified in the NPDES permit application or in the permit, if the
permit contains a requirement for treatment of the discharge, and if the treatment is in place. To apply for an
exclusion of the discharge of any hazardous substance from the requirements of section 311, attach
additional sheets of paper to your form, setting forth the following information:
1. The substance and the amount of each substance which may be discharged.
2. The origin and source of the discharge of the substance.
3. The treatment which is to be provided for the discharge by;
a. An onsite treatment system separate from any treatment system treating your normal discharge;
b. A treatment system designed to treat your normal discharge and which is additionally capable of
treating the amount of the substance identified under paragraph 1 above; or
c.

Any combination of the above.

See 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2) and (c), published on August 29, 1979, in 44 FR 50766, or contact your Regional
Office (Table I on Form 1, Instructions), for further information on exclusions from section 311.
Part VII-D
If sampling is conducted during more than one storm event, you only need to report the information requested
in Part VII-D for the storm event(s) which resulted in any maximum pollutant concentration reported in Part
VII-A, VII-B, or VII-C.
Provide flow measurements or estimates of the flow rate, and the total amount of discharge for the storm
event(s) sampled, the method of flow measurement, or estimation. Provide the data and duration of the storm
event(s) sampled, rainfall measurements, or estimates of the storm event which generated the sampled runoff
and the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1
inch rainfall) storm event.

EPA Form 3510-2F (Rev. 1-92)

I-6

Part VII-E
List any toxic pollutant listed in Tables 2F-2, 2F-3, or 2F-4 which you currently use or manufacture as an
intermediate or final product or byproduct. In addition, if you know or have reason to believe that 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is discharged or if you use or manufacture 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic
acid (2,4,5,-T); 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (Silvex, 2,4,5,-TP); 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethyl,
2,2-dichloropropionate (Erbon); 0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-trichlorphenyl) phosphorothioate (Ronnel); 2,4,5trichlorophenol (TCP); or hexachlorophene (HCP); then list TCDD. The Director may waive or modify the
requirement if you demonstrate that it would be unduly burdensome to identify each toxic pollutant and the
Director has adequate information to issue your permit. You may not claim this information as confidential;
however, you do not have to distinguish between use or production of the pollutants or list the amounts.
Item VIIl
Self explanatory. The permitting authority may ask you to provide additional details after your application is
received.
Item X
The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for submitting false information on this application form.
Section 309(c)(4) of the Clean Water Act provides that “Any person who knowingly makes any false material
statement, representation, or certification in any application, . . . shall upon conviction, be punished by a fine
of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, or by both. If a conviction of such
person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment
shall be by a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years,
or by both.” 40 CFR Part 122.22 requires the certification to be signed as follows:
(A) For a corporation: by a responsible corporate official. For purposes of this section, a responsible
corporate official means (i) a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice president of the corporation in charge
of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decision-making
functions for the corporation or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating
facilities employing more than 250 persons or having gross annual sales or expenditures exceeding
$25,000,000 (in second quarter 1980 dollars), if authority to sign documents has been assigned or
delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures.
Note: EPA does not require specific assignments or delegation of authority to responsible corporate
officers identified in 122.22(a)(1)(i) The Agency will presume that these responsible corporate officers
have the requisite authority to sign permit applications unless the corporation has notified the Director to
the contrary. Corporate procedures governing authority to sign permit applications may provide for
assignment or delegation to applicable corporate position under 122.22(a)(1)(ii) rather than to specific
individuals.
(B) For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or the proprietor, respectively; or
(C) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: by either a principal executive officer or
ranking elected official. For purposes of this section, a principal executive officer of a Federal agency
includes (i) the chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) a senior executive officer having responsibility
for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrators of
EPA).

Based on a review of your NOI or other information, EPA may delay your
authorization for further review, notify you that additional effluent limitations are
necessary, or may deny coverage under this permit and require submission of an
application for an individual NPDES permit, as detailed in MSGP Part 1.6. In these
instances, EPA will notify you in writing of the delay or the request for submission of an
individual NPDES permit application. EPA will post these NOIs on its website at
www.epa.gov/npdes/enoi.

Who Must File a Notice of Intent with EPA?
Under section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and regulations at 40 CFR
Part 122, stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity are prohibited to
waters of the United States unless authorized under a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit. You can obtain coverage under the MSGP by
submitting a completed NOI if you operate a facility:
• that is located in a jurisdiction where EPA is the permitting authority, listed in
Appendix C of the MSGP,
• that discharges stormwater associated with industrial activities, identified in
Appendix D of the MSGP,
• that meets the eligibility requirements in Part 1.1 of the permit,
• that develops a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) in accordance
with Part 5 of the MSGP; and
• that installs and implements control measures in accordance with Part 2 to
meet numeric and non-numeric effluent limits.
If you are unsure if you need an NPDES stormwater permit, contact your EPA or
State NPDES stormwater permit program. Contacts are listed at
www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwatercontacts.
One NOI must be submitted for each facility or site for which you are seeking
permit coverage. You do not need to submit separate NOIs for each type of
industrial activity present at your facility, provided your SWPPP covers all activities.
When to File the NOI Form
Do not file your NOI until you have obtained and thoroughly read a copy of the
MSGP. A copy of the MSGP is located on the EPA website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp). The MSGP describes procedures to
ensure your eligibility, prepare your SWPPP, install and implement appropriate

Completing the NOI Form
To complete this form, type or print in uppercase letters in the appropriate areas
only. Please make sure you complete all questions. Make sure you make a
photocopy for your records before you send the completed original form to the
address above. You may also use this paper form as a checklist for the information
you will need when filing an NOI electronically via EPA’s eNOI system.
Section A. Permit Number
Appendix C of the MSGP 2008 contains a list of geographic areas covered by
the permit. If your facility is located in one of the listed areas, include the appropriate
permit number in this section. (For example, if you facility is located in
Massachusetts, and not on Indian Lands, you would write MAR050000 in this
space.) If your facility is located in an area not covered by the MSGP, please
contact your EPA Region, state or territorial NPDES stormwater coordinator (see
www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwatercontacts for a list of contacts).
Section B. Facility Operator Information
1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization or any other
public entity that operates the facility described in this application. An operator of
a facility is a legal entity that controls the operation of the facility.
2. Provide the Employer Identification Number (EIN from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS)), commonly referred to as your taxpayer ID number. If the operator
does not have an EIN, enter “NA” in the space provided.
3. Provide the operator’s mailing address, telephone number, fax number
(optional), and email address. Correspondence will be sent to this address.
Section C. Facility Information
1. Enter the facility’s official or legal name. Unless the name of your facility has
changed, please use the same name provided on prior NOIs or permit
applications. You can use EPA’s NOI Search website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/noisearch) to view your previous NOI.
2. Indicate if industrial stormwater discharges from your facility were previously
covered by an NPDES permit.
2a.If your facility was covered by EPA’s MSGP-2000, please include the tracking
number that you received in your confirmation letter or email from EPA’s
Stormwater Notice Processing Center. You can find the tracking number
assigned to your previous NOI on EPA’s NOI Search website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/noisearch).
2b1.If your facility was not previously covered by an NPDES permit and discharged
industrial stormwater, then indicate if it was in operation before October 30,
2005 and not covered under the MSGP 2000. If you select “yes” to this question
then you have a 30 day waiting period before you are authorized to discharge.
2b2.If you select “no” in C.2.b.1, then indicate if your facility discharged stormwater
between October 30, 2005 and January 5, 2009. If you select “yes” to this
Page 5 of 7

question then you have a 30 day waiting period before you are authorized to
discharge. If you select “no” to this question and you post your SWPPP on the
Internet and provide EPA the URL in E.2, then you have a 30 day waiting period
before you are authorized to discharge. If you select “no” to this question, but do
not post your SWPPP on the Internet and therefore do not answer E.2, then you
have a 60 day waiting period before you are authorized to discharge.
3.a-e. Enter the street address, including city, state, zip code, county or similar
government subdivision of the actual physical location of the facility. Do not use
a P.O. Box.
3.f-g. Provide the facility latitude and longitude in one of three formats: (1) degrees,
minutes, seconds; (2) degrees, minutes, decimal; or(3) degrees decimal. You
can obtain your facility’s latitude and longitude though Global Positioning
System (GPS) receivers, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle or
topographic maps, and EPA’s web-based siting-tools, among other methods.
Refer to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp for guidance on the use of these
methods. For consistency, EPA requests you take measurements from the
location of your facility’s stormwater outfall. Outfalls are locations where the
stormwater exits the facility, including pipes, ditches, swales, and other
structures that transport stormwater. If there is more than one outfall present,
measure at the primary outfall (i.e., the outfall with the largest volume of
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity).
3.h. Identify the data source that you used to determine the facility latitude and
longitude. If you did not use a USGS quadrangle or topographic map, the EPA
website, or GPS receivers, then select “Other” and write the method used on
the line provided. If you used a USGS quadrangle or topographic map, write the
map scale on the line provided. Scale should be identified on the map.
4. Enter the estimated area of industrial activity at your site exposed to
stormwater, in acres.
5. Indicate if the facility is considered a “federal facility” - Federal facilities include
any buildings, installations, structures, land, public works, equipment, aircraft,
vessels, and other vehicles and property, owned or leased by the federal
government.
6. Indicate whether the facility is located in Indian Country, and, if so, provide the
name of the reservation, if applicable.
Section D. Discharge Information
1. Indicate whether stormwater from your site will be discharged into a municipal
separate storm sewer system (MS4). An MS4 is a conveyance or system of
conveyances, including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch
basins, storm drains, curbs and gutters, ditches and man-made channels,
owned or operated by a state, city, town, borough, county, parish, district,
association or other public body, used to collect or convey stormwater. If you
check “Yes” then identify the name of the MS4 operator on the line provided. If
you are uncertain of the MS4 operator, contact your local government for that
information. MS4s are different than combined sewers, which are designed to
convey both stormwater and sanitary wastewater. Discharges to combined
sewers do not require an NPDES permit but may be subject to other CWA
requirements (contact the combined sewer operator for more information).
2. Enter information regarding your discharge. If additional space is needed fill out
Attachment 1.
2a. Indicate in column “a” of the table the name(s) of the receiving water(s) into
which stormwater from your facility will discharge. Also provide in parentheses
the name of the impaired water (and segment, if applicable) into which your
stormwater is discharged. If you identified more than on receiving water for your
facility, indicate the first receiving water and complete question 2b and 2.b.1-3 (if
applicable), before entering the next receiving water. The EPA’s Water Locator
Tool can help you identify the closest receiving water to your facility
(www.epa.gov/npdes/msgp). Your receiving water may be a lake, stream, river,
ocean, wetland or other waterbody, and may or may not be located adjacent to
your facility. Your stormwater may discharge directly to the receiving water or
indirectly via a storm sewer system, an open drain or ditch, or other conveyance
structure. Do NOT list a man-made conveyance, such as a storm sewer system,
as your receiving water. Indicate the first receiving water your stormwater
discharge enters. For example, if your discharge enters a storm sewer system,
that empties into Trout Creek, which flows into Pine River, your receiving water is
Trout Creek, because it is the first waterbody your discharge will reach. Similarly,
a discharge into a ditch that feeds Spring Creek should be identified as “Spring
Creek” since the ditch is a manmade conveyance. If you discharge into a
municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), you must identify the waterbody
into which that portion of the storm sewer discharges. That information should be
readily available from the operator of the MS4.
2b. Indicate in column “b” of the table whether you discharge directly to an impaired
water (lake, stream segment, estuary, etc), listed as “impaired” under section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Each state water quality agency maintains a list of
waters that are impaired. Most state agencies publish these lists online. The
EPA’s Water Locator Tool may also help you identify if the nearest receiving
water is impaired (www.epa.gov/npdes/msgp). If you discharge into a stream
EPA FORM 3510-6 (Revised 09-2008)

segment that is upstream of a listed impaired water but which is not itself on the
State’s impaired waters list, answer “no” to this question. In this case,
requirements in the MSGP for discharges into impaired waters do not apply to
you, unless notified otherwise by EPA.
Answer the following three questions only if you answered “Yes” to D 2.b:
2b1. Provide the pollutant(s) listed as causing the impairment in the water identified
in D.2.b.1 above. Enter each pollutant individually on a separate row in the
table.
2b2. Out of the pollutant(s) that you identified in D.2.b.1 above, indicate which
pollutants you believe will be present in your discharge. If you do not expect the
pollutant(s) to be in your discharge, then select “no.”
2b3.Indicate the pollutant(s) that have a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the
impaired stream segment that you identified in D.2.b.2 above. Check with your
state water quality agency for lists of waters with approved or established
TMDLs. See www.epa.gov/npdes/msgp for more information.
3. Water Quality Standards
3a.If you selected “no” in C.2 indicating that stormwater discharges from your facility
have not been previously covered under an NPDES permit, then you are
considered a new discharger and must answer this question; otherwise you are
considered an existing discharger and may skip this question. State water
quality agencies are responsible for setting water quality standards for waters
within the state’s boundaries. Check EPA’s website (www.epa.gov/npdes/msgp)
to determine if the water(s) that you discharge into are designated as a “Tier 2
(or Tier 2.5) water” (See Appendix A of the MSGP 2008 for definitions of “Tier 2
water” and “Tier 2.5 water”). If you discharge into these waters, EPA may impose
additional permit conditions to ensure that you do not violate the State’s
antidegradation policy.
3.b Idenitfy whether your receiving water is designated as a Tier 3 waterbody. Go to
www.epa.gov/npdes/msgp for a list of Tier 3 waterbodies. Note that new
discharges into designated Tier 3 waters are not eligible for coverage under the
MSGP 2008.
4. Federal Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Sector-Specific Requirements
4.a-b. Depending on your industrial activities, your facility may be subject to effluent
limitation guidelines which include additional effluent limits and monitoring
requirements for your facility. Please review these requirements, described in
Part 2.1.3 of the MSGP, and check any appropriate boxes on the NOI form.
4.c. For Sector S facilities (Air Transportation), indicate whether you anticipate that
the entire airport facility will use more than 100,000 gallons of glycol-based
deicing/anti-icing chemicals and/or 100 tons or more of urea on an average
annual basis. If so, additional effluent limits and monitoring conditions apply to
your discharge (see Part 8 Sector S of the MSGP 2008).
5. List the four-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and/or two
character activity code that best describes the primary industrial activities
performed by your facility under which you are required to obtain permit
coverage. Your primary industrial activity includes any activities performed onsite which are (1) identified by the facility’s one SIC code for which the facility is
primarily engaged; and (2) included in the narrative descriptions of 40 CFR
122.26(b)(14)(i), (iv), (v), or (vii), and (ix). See Appendix D of the MSGP for a
complete list of SIC codes and activities codes.
6. If your site has co-located industrial activities that are not identified as your
primary industrial activity, identify the sector and subsector codes that describe
these other industrial activities. For a complete list of sector and subsector
codes, see Appendix D of the MSGP.
7.a-b Indicate whether your facility is currently inactive and unstaffed. If so then
indicate whether your facility will be inactive and unstaffed for the entire permit
term, or if not, specify the specific length of time in units of days, weeks, months,
or years (e.g. 3 months) that you expect the facility to be inactive and unstaffed.
Section E. Facility Contact Information and SWPPP Location
1.a-c. Identify the name, telephone number, and email address of the person who
will serve as a contact for EPA on issues related to stormwater management at
your facility. This person should be able to answer questions related to
stormwater discharges, the SWPPP, and other issues related to stormwater
permit coverage, or have immediate access to individuals with that knowledge.
This person does not have to be the facility operator, but should have intimate
knowledge of stormwater management activities at the facility.
2. If you are making your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan publicly available
on a website provide the appropriate Internet URL address. (Please note that by
posting your SWPPP on the web, you may qualify for a shortened authorization
waiting period. See Table 1-2 of the MSGP for more information.)
Section F. Endangered Species Protection
1. Based on the instruction provided in Appendix E of the MSGP 2008, indicate
which permit criterion (A,B,C,D,E, or F) listed in Part 1.1.4.5 you are using to
satisfy your eligibility obligations for protection of endangered and threatened
species, and designated critical habitat.
Page 6 of 7

2.a. If you select criterion E (not likely to adversely affect), list those federally-listed
endangered or threatened species and any federally-listed designated critical
habitat expected to exist in proximity to your facility.
2.b List the pollutants that you expect to be present in your stormwater discharge.
Include any pollutants that you may have included in D.2.b.3 above.
2.c If you selected “yes” in C.2 then you are considered an existing discharger and
must answer all the questions in F.2.c.1--5; otherwise you are considered a new
discharger and may skip the questions under F.2.c. If you are an existing
discharger who was previously covered under the MSGP 2000, indicate
whether you have any previous effluent monitoring data.
2.c1-2.If you select “No,” to F.2.c then indicate why you don’t have any data. Also
indicate if you have any other data characterizing pollutants in your stormwater
discharge.
2.c.3. If you select “Yes,” to F.2.c then indicate whether you exceeded any
benchmark.
2.c.4 Indicate whether you have exceeded any applicable effluent limitation
guideline, or caused or contributed to an exceedance of state or tribal water
quality requirement(s).
2.c.5. If you select “Yes” to F.2.c.3.and/or F.2.c.4 then indicate the pollutant
parameters for which you exceeded the benchmark, applicable effluent
limitation guideline, or State or Tribal water quality requirement(s).
2.d. Attach your supporting rationale for your determination of the applicability of
Criterion E for your facility (applies to both new and existing dischargers). Your
documentation should address species and habitat listed in F.2.a and the
potential effects of pollutants listed in F.2.b on the listed species and habitat.
This should include consideration of any available data characterizing pollutants
in your stormwater discharge, or in the discharge of similar facilities if data for
you facility is not available, that may be of concern to listed species.
3. If you select Criterion F (already addressed in another operator’s valid
certification), provide the tracking number that the operator received in their
confirmation letter or email from EPA’s NOI Processing Center (see Appendix
E). You can find the tracking number assigned to your previous NOI on EPA’s
NOI Search website (www.epa.gov/npdes/noisearch). An example where
criterion F may apply includes airports where several individual airlines have
applied for coverage under the MSGP, and the entire airport also has applied
for or obtained coverage. If the airport has already certified under Appendix E,
and that certification addresses any potential impacts from the individual
airlines, then the airlines may reference the airport’s permit tracking number.

Instructions for Completing EPA Form 3510-9
Notice of Intent (NOI) for Storm Water Discharges Associated with

Construction Activity Under an NPDES General Permit 

NPDES Form Date

This Form Replaces Form 3510-9 (8/98)

Who Must File an NOI Form
Under the provisions of the Clean Water Act, as amended (33
U.S.C. 1251 et. seq.; the Act), federal law prohibits storm
water discharges from certain construction activities to waters
of the U.S. unless that discharge is covered under a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
Operator(s) of construction sites where one or more acres are
disturbed, smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan
of development or sale where there is a cumulative
disturbance of at least one acre, or any other site specifically
designated by the Director, must submit an NOI to obtain
coverage under an NPDES general permit. Each person, firm,
public organization, or any other entity that meets either of the
following criteria must file this form: (1) they have operational
control over construction plans and specifications, including
the ability to make modifications to those plans and
specifications; or (2) they have day-to-day operational control
of those activities at the project necessary to ensure
compliance with SWPPP requirements or other permit
conditions. If you have questions about whether you need an
NPDES storm water permit, or if you need information to
determine whether EPA or your state agency is the permitting
authority, refer to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp or
telephone the Storm Water Notice Processing Center at (866)
352-7755.
Where to File NOI Form
See the applicable CGP for information on where to send your
completed NOI form.
Completing the Form
Obtain and read a copy of the appropriate EPA Storm Water
Construction General Permit for your area. To complete this
form, type or print uppercase letters, in the appropriate areas
only. Please place each character between the marks
(abbreviate if necessary to stay within the number of
characters allowed for each item). Use one space for breaks
between words, but not for punctuation marks unless they are
needed to clarify your response. If you have any questions on
this form, refer to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp or
telephone the Storm Water Notice Processing Center at (866)
352-7755. Please submit original document with signature in

IRS), also commonly referred to as your taxpayer ID. If the
applicant does not have an EIN enter “NA” in the space
provided. Also provide the operator’s mailing address,
telephone number, fax number (optional) and e-mail address
(to be notified via e-mail of NOI approval when available).
Correspondence for the NOI will be sent to this address.
Section III. Project/Site Information
Enter the official or legal name and complete street address,
including city, state, zip code, and county or similar
government subdivision of the project or site. If the project or
site lacks a street address, indicate the general location of the
site (e.g., Intersection of State Highways 61 and 34).
Complete site information must be provided for permit
coverage to be granted.
The applicant must also provide the latitude and longitude of
the facility either in degrees, minutes, seconds; degrees,
minutes, decimal; or decimal format. The latitude and longitude
of your facility can be determined in several different ways,
including through the use of global positioning system (GPS)
receivers, U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) topographic or
quadrangle maps, and EPA’s web-based siting tools, among
others. Refer to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp for further
guidance on the use of these methodologies. For consistency,
EPA requests that measurements be taken from the
approximate center of the construction site. Applicants must
specify which method they used to determine latitude and
longitude. If a U.S.G.S. topographic map is used, applicants are
required to specify the scale of the map used.
Indicate whether the project is in Indian country, and if so,
provide the name of the Reservation. If the project is in Indian
Country Lands that are not part of a Reservation, indicate “not
applicable” in the space provided.
Enter the estimated construction start and completion dates
using four digits for the year (i.e., 05/27/1998). Enter the
estimated area to be disturbed including but not limited to:
grubbing, excavation, grading, and utilities and infrastructure
installation. Indicate to the nearest quarter acre. Note: 1 acre
= 43,560 sq. ft.

Section I. Permit Number
Provide the number of the permit under which you are
applying for coverage (see Appendix B of the general permit
for the list of eligible permit numbers).

Section IV. SWPPP Information
Indicate whether or not the SWPPP was prepared in advance
of filing the NOI form. Check the appropriate box for the
location where the SWPPP may be viewed. Provide the
name, fax number (optional), and e-mail address of the
contact person if different than that listed in Section II of the
NOI form.

Section II. Operator Information
Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public
organization, or any other entity that operates the project
described in this application. An operator of a project is a legal
entity that controls at least a portion of site operations and is
not necessarily the site manager. Provide the employer
identification number (EIN from the Internal Revenue Service;

Section V. Discharge Information
Enter the name(s) of receiving waterbodies to which the
project’s storm water will discharge. These should be the first
bodies of water that the discharge will reach. (Note: If you
discharge to more than one waterbody, please indicate all
such waters in the space provided and attach a separate
sheet if necessary.) For example, if the discharge leaves your

and then enters a stream that flows to a river, the stream
would be the receiving waterbody. Waters of the U.S. include
lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, wetlands, impoundments,
estuaries, bays, oceans, and other surface bodies of water
within the confines of the U.S. and U.S. coastal waters.
Waters of the U.S. do not include man-made structures
created solely for the purpose of wastewater treatment. U.S.
Geological Survey topographical maps may be used to make
this determination. If the map does not provide a name, use a
format such as “unnamed tributary to Cross Creek”. If you
discharge into a municipal separate storm sewer system
(MS4), you must identify the waterbody into which that portion
of the storm sewer discharges. That information should be
readily available from the operator of the MS4.
Indicate whether your storm water discharges from
construction activities will be consistent with the assumptions
and requirements of applicable EPA approved or established
TMDL(s).
To
answer
this
question,
refer
to

Form Approved
OMB No. 2040-0211

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION FOR EXCLUSION FROM NPDES STORMWATER
PERMITTING

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for its
stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State identified in Section B under EPA’s Stormwater Multi Sector General Permit
due to the existence of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to
prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to, material handling equipment
or activities, industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities
include the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product.
A storm resistant shelter is not required for the following industrial materials and activities:
– drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers that are tightly sealed, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. “Sealed”
means banded or otherwise secured and without operational taps or valves;
– adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
– final products, other than products that would be mobilized in stormwater discharges (e.g., rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In addition, the exclusion from NPDES
permitting is available on a facility-wide basis only, not for individual outfalls. If any industrial activities or materials are or will be exposed to
precipitation, the facility is not eligible for the no exposure exclusion.
By signing and submitting this No Exposure Certification form, the entity in Section A is certifying that a condition of no exposure exists at its facility
or site, and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
ALL INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED ON THIS FORM.
Detailed instructions for completing this form and obtaining the no exposure exclusion are provided on pages 3 and 4.

Instructions for the NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting
Who May File a No Exposure Certification

Section B. Facility/Site Location Information

Federal law at 40 CFR Part 122.26 prohibits point source
discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity to waters
of the U.S. without a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit. However, NPDES permit coverage is not
required for discharges of stormwater associated with industrial
activities identified at 40CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i)-(ix) and (xi) if the
discharger can certify that a condition of “no exposure” exists at the
industrial facility or site.

1. Enter the official or legal name of the facility or site.

Stormwater discharges from construction activities identified in
40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) and (b)(15) are not eligible for the no
exposure exclusion.

4. Indicate whether the industrial facility is operated by a
department or agency of the Federal Government (see also
Section 313 of the Clean Water Act).

Obtaining and Maintaining the No Exposure Exclusion
This form is used to certify that a condition of no exposure exists at
the industrial facility or site described herein. This certification is only
applicable in jurisdictions where EPA is the NPDES permitting
authority and must be re-submitted at least once every five years.
The industrial facility operator must maintain a condition of no
exposure at its facility or site in order for the no exposure exclusion
to remain applicable. If conditions change resulting in the exposure
of materials and activities to stormwater, the facility operator must
obtain coverage under an NPDES stormwater permit immediately.

Completing the Form
You must type or print, using uppercase letters, in appropriate areas
only. Enter only one character per space (i.e., between the marks).
Abbreviate if necessary to stay within the number of characters
allowed for each item. Use one space for breaks between words.
One form must be completed for each facility or site for which you
are seeking to certify a condition of no exposure. Additional
guidance on completing this form can be accessed at EPA’s
website: www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater. Please make sure you
have addressed all applicable questions and have made a
photocopy for your records before sending the completed form to
the above address.

Section A. Facility Operator Information
1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization, or
any other entity that operates the facility or site described in this
certification. The name of the operator may or may not be the
same as the name of the facility. The operator is the legal entity
that controls the facility’s operation, rather than the plant or site
manager.
2. Provide the telephone number of the facility operator.
3. Provide the email address of the facility operator.
4. Provide the mailing address of the operator (P.O. Box numbers
may be used). Include the city, state, and zip code. All
correspondence will be sent to this address.

EPA Form 3510-11 (09-08)

2. Enter the complete street address (if no street address exists,
provide a geographic description [e.g., Intersection of Routes 9
and 55]), city, county, state, and zip code. Do not use a P.O.
Box number.
3. Indicate whether the facility is located on Indian Lands.

5. Enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of
the facility or site in degrees/minutes/seconds. Latitude and
longitude can be obtained from United States Geological
Survey (USGS) quadrangle or topographic maps, by calling
1-(888) ASK-USGS, or by accessing the Census Bureau at:
www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer
Latitude and longitude for a facility in decimal form must be
converted to degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds (") for proper
entry on the certification form. To convert decimal latitude or
longitude to degrees/minutes/seconds, follow the steps in the
following example.
Example: Convert decimal latitude 45.1234567 to degrees (°),
minutes ('), and seconds (").
a) The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the degrees:
45°.
b) To obtain minutes, multiply the first four numbers to the right
of the decimal point by 0.006: 1234 x 0.006 = 7.404.
c) The numbers to the left of the decimal point in the result
obtained in (b) are the minutes: 7'.
d) To obtain seconds, multiply the remaining three numbers to
the right of the decimal from the result obtained in (b) by
0.06: 404 x 0.06 = 24.24. Since the numbers to the right of
the decimal point are not used, the result is 24".
e) The conversion for 45.1234567 = 45° 7' 24".
6. Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under an
NPDES stormwater permit. If so, include the permit number or
permit tracking number.
7. Enter the 4-digit SIC code which identifies the facility’s primary
activity and second 4-digit SIC code identifying the facility’s
secondary activity, if applicable. SIC codes can be obtained
from the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987.
8. Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity
in acres. Acreage may be determined by dividing square
footage by 43,560, as demonstrated in the following example.
Example: Convert 54,450 ft2 to acres
Divide 54,450 ft2 by 43,450 square feet per acre:
54, 450 ft2 ) 43,560 ft2/acre = 1.25 acres.
9. Check “Yes” or “No” as appropriate to indicate whether you have
paved or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.e.,
lawn, meadow, dirt or gravel road/parking lot) in order to qualify
for no exposure. If yes, also indicate approximately how much
area was paved or roofed over and is now impervious area.

Section C. Exposure Checklist
Check “Yes” or “No” as appropriate to describe the exposure
condition at your facility. If you answer “Yes” to ANY of the
questions (1) through (11) in this section, a potential for exposure
exists at your site and you cannot certify to a condition of no
exposure. You must obtain (or already have) coverage under an
NPDES stormwater permit. After obtaining permit coverage, you
can institute modifications to eliminate the potential for a discharge
of stormwater exposed to industrial activity, and then certify to a
condition of no exposure.

Instructions for Completing EPA Form 3510-13
Notice of Termination (NOT) of Coverage Under an NPDES General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity
NPDES Form

This Form Replaces Form 3517-7 (8-98)

Who May File an NOT Form
Permittees who are presently covered under the EPA-issued National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity may
submit an NOT form when final stabilization has been achieved on all
portions of the site for which you are responsible; another operator has
assumed control in accordance with Appendix G, Section 11.C of the
General Permit over all areas of the site that have not been finally
stabilized; coverage under an alternative NPDES permit has been
obtained; or for residential construction only, temporary stabilization
has been completed and the residence has been transferred to the
homeowner.
“Final stabilization” means that all soil disturbing activities at the site
have been completed and that a uniform perennial vegetative cover
with a density of at least 70% of the native background vegetative
cover for the area has been established on all unpaved areas and
areas not covered by permanent structures, or equivalent permanent
stabilization measures (such as the use of riprap, gabions, or
geotextiles) have been employed. See “final stabilization” definition in
Appendix A of the Construction General Permit for further guidance
where background native vegetation covers less than 100 percent of
the ground, in arid or semi-arid areas, for individual lots in residential
construction, and for construction projects on land used for agricultural
purposes.
Completing the Form
Type or print, using uppercase letters, in the appropriate areas only.
Please place each character between the marks. Abbreviate if
necessary to stay within the number of characters allowed for each
item. Use only one space for breaks between words, but not for
punctuation marks unless they are needed to clarify your response. If
you have any questions about this form, refer to
www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp or telephone the Stormwater
Notice Processing Center at (866) 352-7755. Please submit original
document with signature in ink - do not send a photocopied signature.

Section C: Areas Evaluated During Inspection
Check only those areas evaluated by marking the appropriate box. Use Section D and additional sheets as necessary. Support the findings, as necessary,
in a brief narrative report. Use the headings given on the report form (e.g., Permit, Records/Reports) when discussing the areas evaluated during the
inspection.
Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments
Briefly summarize the inspection findings. This summary should abstract the pertinent inspection findings, not replace the narrative report. Reference a
list of attachments, such as completed checklists taken from the NPDES Compliance Inspection Manuals and pretreatment guidance documents, including
effluent data when sampling has been done. Use extra sheets as necessary.
*Footnote: In addition to the inspection types listed above under column 18, a state may continue to use the following wet weather and CAFO inspection
types until the state is brought into ICIS-NPDES: K: CAFO, V: SSO, Y: CSO, W: Storm Water 9: MS4. States may also use the new wet weather, CAFO
and MS4 inspections types shown in column 18 of this form. The EPA regions are required to use the new wet weather, CAFO, and MS4 inspection types
for inspections with an inspection date (DTIN) on or after July 1, 2005.

IV. Operator Certification
I certify under penalty of law that: (1) construction activity at the project or site specified in Part II shall disturb less than five acres
and shall take place during a period when the rainfall erosivity factor is less than five, (2) final stabilization will be completed as
defined in the Construction General Permit, and (3) this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or
supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the
information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly
responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and
complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment for knowing violations. Further, if interim non-vegetative measures are used to establish the end of the construction
period for the purposes of obtaining this waiver, I commit to periodically inspect and properly maintain the area until the criteria for
final vegetative stabilization have been met.

Instructions for Completing EPA Form 7500-62 (Rev. 11/08)

Low Erosivity Waiver Certification
NPDES Form
Who May Qualify for a Low Erosivity Waiver
Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Program, operators of construction projects that result
in land disturbances equal to or greater than one acre, including
sites that are less than one acre but are part of a larger common
plan of development or sale where there is a cumulative
disturbance of at least one acre, are required to obtain coverage
under an NPDES permit for stormwater discharges associated
with construction activity. EPA may waive the otherwise
applicable permit requirements for stormwater discharges from
construction activities that disturb less than five acres if the
construction activity will take place during a period when the
rainfall erosivity factor (R factor) is less than five. More
information on the low erosivity waiver is available on the web in
the Construction Rainfall Erosivity Waiver Fact Sheet at
www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/fact3-1.pdf and can be accessed from
www.epa.gov/npdes/cgp. For questions related to completion of
this form, you may contact EPA’s Stormwater Notice Processing
Center toll free at 1-866-352-7755.
Completing the Form
Type or print, using uppercase letters, in the appropriate areas
only. Please place each character between the marks. Abbreviate
if necessary to stay within the number of characters allowed for
each item. Use only one space for breaks between words, but not
for punctuation marks unless they are needed to clarify your
response. Please submit the original form with a signature in
ink. EPA will not accept a photocopied signature.
Section I. Operator Information
Each legal entity that meets EPA’s definition of “operator” (see
definitions in Appendix A of EPA’s NPDES Construction General
Permit) and that meets the eligibility conditions for the low
erosivity waiver must file this form to have the permit
requirements waived. The operator is the legal entity that either
(1) has operational control over construction plans and
specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those
plans and specifications, or (2) has day-to-day operational control
of some or all of those activities. It is possible that there will be
more than one operator at a site and, in such cases, each entity
that meets the operator definition must complete a Low Erosivity
Waiver Certification. Provide the legal name of your firm, public
organization, or other entity that operates the project described in
this waiver certification. Usually this will be a company or
organization’s name but for construction activities undertaken by
you as an individual, this should be your name. Provide the
operator’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employer identification
number (EIN), commonly referred to as the “taxpayer ID.” If you
are completing this form as an individual (i.e., not representing a
company or organization), enter “NA” in the space provided for
EIN. Enter the operator’s complete mailing address and name of
contact person, telephone number and email who can answer
questions about the site (e.g., a project or site manager).
Optional: to facilitate communication, provide a fax number for the
contact person.
To determine whether EPA is the permitting authority for the
construction project, and thus has authority to waive the
otherwise applicable requirements of the Construction General
Permit, it is necessary to know whether the project is located in
Indian country, is a federal facility or part of a federal facility; and
to answer the other three questions on projects located in
Oklahoma and Texas.

EPA Form 7500-62 (Rev. 11/08)

Form Approved OMB No. 2040-0211
Section II. Construction Project/Site Information
Enter the official or legal name and complete street address,
including city, state, zip code, and county or similar government
subdivision of the project or site. If the project lacks a street
address, indicate the general location of the site (e.g., intersection
of State Highways 61 and 34).
The applicant must also provide the latitude and longitude of the
approximate center of the project/site using one of three formats
given in the form. The latitude and longitude of your facility can be
determined from several sources, including global positioning
system (GPS) receivers, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
topographic or quadrangle maps, and EPA's Web-based siting
tool, among others. Information on using these methods to find
your construction site’s latitude and longitude is available on the
web at www.epa.gov/npdes/cgp. This web page describes EPA’s
web-based siting tool, which combines interactive maps and
aerial photographs to help find your construction site’s latitude
and longitude. Specify which source you used to determine
latitude and longitude. If a USGS topographic map is used,
specify the scale of the map used.
Enter the horizontal reference datum for your latitude and
longitude. The 1927 North American Datum (NAD 27) is a set of
ellipsoid constants that describe the earth’s shape and are used
to calculate locations on the earth’s latitude-longitude grid. This
1927 datum provides the mathematical basis for latitude and
longitude coordinates on most USGS topographic maps.
However, this datum is being phased out. Latitude and longitude
on new or revised maps are now being calculated using the 1983
North American Datum (NAD 83), which is based on a newer
definition of the earth ellipsoid. The World Geodetic System
datum (WGS 84) was developed for the Department of Defense
(DOD), who wanted a new coordinate system for the entire earth
not just North America. DOD was willing to sacrifice a little
accuracy in North America to get a better world system. For our
purposes we don’t have to be concerned about WGS 84 to NAD
83 coordinate conversions because the differences are negligible.
The horizontal reference datum used on USGS topographic
maps is shown on the bottom left corner of USGS topographic
maps; it is also available for GPS receivers; but it is not provided
on EPA’s web-based siting tool. If you use EPA's web siting tool,
please check the “unknown” box. NAD 83 is the most accurate
reference datum and, as such, is preferred.
Enter the area (estimated to the nearest quarter acre) to be
disturbed including, but not limited to: grubbing, excavation,
grading, and utilities and infrastructure installation. Note: 1 acre =
43,560 sq. ft.
Section III. Rainfall Erosivity Factor Calculation Data
The construction period begins with the initial earth disturbance
and ends with final site stabilization. To qualify for this waiver, the
rainfall erosivity factor for the project must be less than five during
the entire construction period. Specify the construction period by
entering the project start date (date of initial earth disturbance)
and project completion date (date of final site stabilization). For
example, a grading contractor that is operating on-site for only
one week during a nine month construction project, must enter
the start date and completion date of the entire nine month
construction period.

Instructions for Completing EPA Form 7500-62 (Rev. 11/08)

Low Erosivity Waiver Certification
NPDES Form
EPA believes, where the environmental threat is low (i.e., in arid
and semi-arid climates), that “final stabilization” can include
techniques that employ re-vegetation combined with other
stabilization measures, consisting of temporary degradeable
rolled erosion control products, also known as “erosion control
blankets (ECBs). With proper selection, design, and installation of
the combination re-vegetation/ECB technique in arid or semi-arid
areas, an operator can be considered to have achieved final
stabilization upon completion of the installation process. Note that
if more than three years is required to establish 70 percent of the
natural vegetative cover, this technique cannot be used or cited
for fulfillment of the final stabilization requirement. If your waiver is
based on use of interim non-vegetative stabilization measures,
such as erosion control blankets, to establish the end of the
construction period, you must indicate so on this form. In doing
so, you must commit and certify (as a condition of waiver
eligibility) to periodically inspect and properly maintain the area
until the criteria for final stabilization, as defined in the
Construction General Permit, have been met.
The rainfall erosivity factor "R" is determined in accordance with
the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agriculture Handbook Number
703, Prediciting Soil Erosion by Water: A Guide to Conservation
Planning with the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE),
Chapter 2 pages 21-64, dated January 1997. EPA's Construction
Rainfall Erosivity Waiver Fact Sheet (EPA 833-F-00-014),
available online at www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/fact3-1.pdf, defines
rainfall erosivity and provides numerical examples showing how
to calculate your rainfall erosivity factor. You may use the fact
sheet approach or the online rainfall erosivity factor calculator
available at: http://ei.tamu.edu to calculate your rainfall erosivity
factor for your project.
If the R factor is five or greater during the project’s construction
period, you must have or obtain coverage under an NPDES
stormwater permit. If the project was eligible for the waiver during
the original construction period, but the construction activity will
extend past the project completion date specified in the Low
Erosivity Waiver Certification, the operator must recalculate the R
factor using the original start date and a new project completion
date. If the recalculated R factor is still less than five, a new
waiver certification form must be submitted before the end of the
original construction period. If the new R factor is five or greater,
the operator must submit a Notice of Intent to be covered by the
Construction General Permit before the original project
completion date. The Notice of Intent (NOI) form may be
submitted electronically using EPA’s eNOI system at
www.epa.gov/npdes/enoi or submitted by mailing the paper NOI
form (EPA Form 3510-9) available on the EPA website at
www.epa.gov/npdes/cgp.
Section IV. Operator Certification
All Low Erosivity Waiver Certification forms must be signed as
follows:
For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer. For the
purpose of this Section, a responsible corporate officer means:
(i) president, secretary, treasurer, or vice president of the
corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any
