Industrial General Permit (IGP)

For 25 years, the California Metals Coalition has operated a storm water group in California for SIC codes 33xx and 34xx.

The Metals Industry Storm Water Group provides services for participants.  This includes technical consultants, legal counsel, and state-approved labs.

It is important to protect California's waters. Participating in CMC's storm water group keeps you at the forefront of compliance.

Picture
When it rains, the federal Clean Water Act states that the storm water leaving your property is an industrial discharge.  Pollution sources for storm water can include trucks coming/leaving your property, loading bays, parking lots, outdoor storage, material processing, and even your roof.    

California’s storm water law encompasses all industry codes of the metals industry.  
This includes metal casters, die casters, stampers, machine shops, recyclers, smelters, forgers, rolling mills, galvanizers, sheet metal facilities, and many others within the metals sector.  


As a result, metalworking facilities are required to have an industrial storm water permit, file a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), test storm water for pollutants, establish storm water BMPs, and comply with a myriad of reports.  

California’s new industrial storm water permit takes effect July 1, 2015.  
California's new industrial storm water permit includes updated requirements for sampling, electronic reports, QISP training, mandatory BMPs, exceedance response action, Level 1 and 2 reports, qualified storm events, assessment of treatment technologies, and much more.

All metalworking facilities--regardless of size, indoor vs. outdoor operations, number of employees, light industrial activities, or other previous exemptions--must comply with this law.
