In New York, a developer may need to obtain a State Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit (SPDES General Permit) from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for construction projects that disturb one or more acres of land, or are part of a common plan of development that will result in a disturbance of one or more acres of land, where discharges enter waters (surface and groundwater) of New York or a conveyance leading to waters of New York. N.Y. Env. Cons. L. §17-0701; SPDES General Permit, at 1; 6 CCR-NY § 750-1.1, State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits; N.Y. Env. Cons. L. §17-0505. Projects that disturb less than one acre may still need a SPDES General Permit if the New York DEC determines the existence of a potential for contribution to a violation of a water quality standard or for significant contribution of pollutants to surface waters of the state. 6 CCR-NY §§ 703 et seq.; SPDES General Permit, § 1(A)(2). A developer must also obtain a SPDES General Permit for storm water discharges from construction activities that result in a total soil disturbance between five thousand (5,000) square feet and one acre of land within the New York City Watershed located east of the Hudson River. SPDES General Permit, § 1(A)(3), Appendix C at 47.
Additions of pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) that are otherwise in compliance with this Part; provided, however, that this exception does not relieve any permittee from the obligation to comply with 6 CCR-NY § 750-1.11; Water, gas or other material that is injected into a well, except a disposal well, to facilitate production of oil, gas, salt or geothermal resources, if the conditions apply pursuant to 6 CCR-NY § 750-1.5(a)(6); or Dredged or fill material and dredge return water discharged into waters of the State except groundwaters, which are regulated under 6 CCR-NY § 750-1.5(a)(7).

A developer must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for each construction activity seeking SPDES General Permit coverage. SPDES General Permit, at p.18. The SWPP must document the selection, design, installation, implementation and maintenance of the control measures and practices that will be used to meet the effluent limitations outlined within the SPDES General Permit. The SWPPP must include, at minimum, the following: A description of the erosion and sediment control practices where required; Background information about the scope of the project, including the location, type, and size of the project;
A description of post-construction stormwater management practices that will be used and/or constructed to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges; and Assure compliance with the terms and conditions of the SPDES Permit. SPDES General Permit, at p.18-23.
A project may also qualify for a shorter timeframe to commence a construction activity. Refer to SPDES General Permit, at p.14 for details. A NOI must contain, at minimum, the following:
