PREFACE
Pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), stormwater discharges from
certain construction activities are unlawful unless they are authorized by a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit or by a state permit program. New
York’s State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“SPDES”) is a NPDES-approved
program with permits issued in accordance with the Environmental Conservation Law (“ECL”).
This general permit (“permit”) is issued pursuant to Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70
of the ECL. An owner or operator may obtain coverage under this permit by submitting a Notice
of Intent ("NOI") to the Department. Copies of this permit and the NOI for New York are available
by calling (518) 402-8109 or at any New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(“the Department”) regional office (see Appendix G).They are also available on the Department’s
website at:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/
An owner or operator of a construction activity that is eligible for coverage under this
permit must obtain coverage prior to the commencement of construction activity. Activities that fit
the definition of “construction activity”, as defined under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x), (15)(i), and
(15)(ii), constitute construction of a point source and therefore, pursuant to Article 17-0505 of the
ECL, the owner or operator must have coverage under a SPDES permit prior to commencing
construction activity. They cannot wait until there is an actual discharge from the construction site
to obtain permit coverage.

conditions of the SWPPP and agree to implement any corrective actions
identified by the qualified inspector during a site inspection. I also
understand that the owner or operator must comply with the terms and
conditions of the most current version of the New York State Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System ("SPDES") general permit for stormwater
discharges from construction activities and that it is unlawful for any person
to cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards. Furthermore,
I understand that certifying false, incorrect or inaccurate information is a
violation of the referenced permit and the laws of the State of New York and
could subject me to criminal, civil and/or administrative proceedings. "
In addition to providing the certification statement above, the certification page
must also identify the specific elements of the SWPPP that each contractor and

stormwater management and treatment, such as a licensed Professional Engineer, Registered
Landscape Architect or other Department endorsed individual(s). Individuals preparing SWPPPs
that require the post-construction stormwater management practice component must have an
understanding of the principles of hydrology, water quality management practice design, water
quantity control design, and, in many cases, the principles of hydraulics in order to prepare a
SWPPP that conforms to the Department’s technical standard. All components of the SWPPP that
involve the practice of engineering, as defined by the NYS Education Law (see Article 145), shall
be prepared by, or under the direct supervision of, a professional engineer licensed to practice in
the State of New York.
33
Regulated, Traditional Land Use Control MS4 - means a city, town or village with land use
control authority that is required to gain coverage under New York State DEC’s SPDES General
Permit For Stormwater Discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Systems (MS4s).

original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of a facility, including, but not
limited to:
• Re-grading of gravel roads or parking lots,
• Stream bank restoration projects (does not include the placement of spoil material),
• Cleaning and shaping of existing roadside ditches and culverts that maintains the
approximate original line and grade, and hydraulic capacity of the ditch,
• Cleaning and shaping of existing roadside ditches that does not maintain the
approximate original grade, hydraulic capacity and purpose of the ditch if the changes to
the line and grade, hydraulic capacity or purpose of the ditch are installed to improve
water quality and quantity controls (e.g. installing grass lined ditch),
• Placement of aggregate shoulder backing that makes the transition between the road
shoulder and the ditch or embankment,
• Full depth milling and filling of existing asphalt pavements, replacement of
concrete pavement slabs, and similar work that does not expose soil or disturb the bottom
six (6) inches of subbase material,
• Long-term use of equipment storage areas at or near highway maintenance
facilities,
• Removal of sediment from the edge of the highway to restore a previously existing
sheet-flow drainage connection from the highway surface to the highway ditch or
embankment,
• Existing use of Canal Corp owned upland disposal sites for the canal, and
• Replacement of curbs, gutters, sidewalks and guide rail posts.
State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) - means the system established
pursuant to Article 17 of the ECL and 6 NYCRR Part 750 for issuance of permits authorizing
discharges to the waters of the state.
Surface Waters of the State - shall be construed to include lakes, bays, sounds, ponds,
impounding reservoirs, springs, rivers, streams, creeks, estuaries, marshes, inlets, canals, the
Atlantic ocean within the territorial seas of the state of New York and all other bodies of surface
water, natural or artificial, inland or coastal, fresh or salt, public or private (except those private
waters that do not combine or effect a junction with natural surface or underground waters), which
are wholly or partially within or bordering the state or within its jurisdiction. Waters of the state
are further defined in 6 NYCRR Parts 800 to 941.
Temporary Stabilization - means that exposed soil has been covered with material(s) as set forth
in the technical standard, New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment
Control, to prevent the exposed soil from eroding. The materials can include, but are not limited to,
mulch, seed and mulch, and erosion control mats (e.g. jute twisted yarn, excelsior wood fiber
mats).
34
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) - A TMDL is the sum of the allowable loads of a single
pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources. It is a calculation of the maximum
amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive on a daily basis and still meet water quality
standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL stipulates
wasteload allocations (WLAs) for point source discharges, load allocations (LAs) for nonpoint
sources, and a margin of safety (MOS).
Trained Contractor - means an employee from the contracting (construction) company, identified
in Part III.A.6., that has received four (4) hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion
and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department
endorsed entity. After receiving the initial training, the trained contractor shall receive four (4)
hours of training every three (3) years.
It can also mean an employee from the contracting (construction) company, identified in Part
III.A.6., that meets the qualified inspector qualifications (e.g. licensed Professional Engineer,
Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), Registered Landscape Architect,
or someone working under the direct supervision of, and at the same company as, the licensed
Professional Engineer or Registered Landscape Architect, provided they have received four (4)
hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a
Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity).
The trained contractor will be responsible for the day to day implementation of the SWPPP.
Uniform Procedures Act (UPA) Permit - means a permit required under 6 NYCRR Part 621 of
the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), Article 70.
Water Quality Standard - means such measures of purity or quality for any waters in relation to
their reasonable and necessary use as promulgated in 6 NYCRR Part 700 et seq.
