§ 33-354. Facilities required to obtain industrial stormwater discharge permits.

(a)

All stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity that discharge directly to waters of the US or through municipal separate storm sewer systems are required to obtain NPDES permits from EPA/TNRCC and industrial stormwater discharge permit from the city. EPA policy reads as follows: activities requiring permits are defined in two (2) ways: by a narrative description or by a standard industrial classification (SIC) code. Industrial sites identified by SIC code are required to obtain permit coverage only if the primary site activity is within the SIC codes listed. If the listed activity is not the primary site activity, it is considered the auxiliary activity, it does not require permit coverage. For categories defined by a narrative description, a permit is required if any of the described activity occurs on site. The city engineering department has incorporated the EPA SIC codes (see Table 1). Facilities with stormwater discharge associated with industrial including: manufacturing/industrial facilities, hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities, recycling facilities, power plants, mining operations, some oil and gas operations, airports and certain other transportation facilities are required to apply. The following is a preliminary listing of businesses required to obtain state/federal industrial stormwater permits.
