hold a public hearing, if necessary, in 

accordance with 40 CFR 124.12 and will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

proposing to reissue two draft general 

permits for the discharge of 

uncontaminated water from 

construction dewatering intrusion and/ 

or stormwater accumulation from sites 

that disturb less than one acre of land 

and short and long term dewatering of 

foundation sumps. While the draft 

general permits are two distinct permits, 

for convenience, EPA has grouped them 

together in a single document and has 

provided a single fact sheet for the two 

draft general permits. This document 

refers to the draft general ‘‘permit’’ in 

the singular. The draft general permit, 

appendices and fact sheet are available 

at: http://www.epa.gov/region1/npdes/

dewatering.html. 

The draft General Permit establishes 

Notice of Intent (NOI) requirements, 

effluent limitations, standards, 

prohibitions, and management practices 

for facilities with construction 

dewatering of groundwater intrusion 

and/or storm water accumulation from 

sites less than one acre and short-term 

and long-term dewatering of foundation 

sumps. The draft permit includes 

effluent limitations based on best 

professional judgment (BPJ) and water 

quality considerations. When EPA has 

not promulgated effluent limitations for 

a category of discharges, or if an 

operator discharges a pollutant not 

covered by an effluent limitation 

guideline, effluent limitations may be 

based on the BPJ of the agency or permit 

writer. The BPJ limits in the general 

permit are in the form of non-numeric 

control measures, commonly referred to 

as best management practices (BMPs). 

The effluent limits established in the 

draft permit assures that the surface 

water quality standards of the receiving 

water are protected, maintained and/or 

attained. Discharges that contain 

pollutants in quantities which represent 

reasonable potential to cause or 

contribute to violations of water quality 

standards will not be granted coverage 

under this general permit. Those 

dischargers must either apply for an 

individual permit or seek coverage 

under EPA’s Remediation General 

Permit. 

Other Legal Requirements 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

The provisions related to the ESA 

have be updated from the 2008 general 

permit and new species of concern have 

been added. EPA has requested 

concurrence from the appropriate 

federal services (U.S Fish and Wildlife 

Service and National Marine Fisheries 

Service) in connection with this draft 

permit. 

Authority: This action is being taken under 

the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. 

Dated: June 19, 2014. 

H. Curtis Spalding, 

Regional Administrator.
