Minnesota P011LItion Control Agency �� PrnCe.�i.iktj i��liitrte�rlit',� Lrri}iri..rttlt�Jat i:ii4t� ��t4iilJt� L`� L.I�I: APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS for MINNESOTA'S NPDES/SDS GENERAL STORMWATER PERMIT for CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY Submission of an application is notice that the owner and general contractor identified on the application intend to be authorized by an NPDES/SDS permit issued for Stormwater discharges associated with a construction activity in the State of Minnesota. For Questions 1-3, please refer to the NPDES/SDS General Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity and the Flowchart at the end of these instructions. I . Indicate if a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared and the appropriate sections (a through h of this question) have been addressed by answering "Yes" or "No". A SWPPP is a plan for Stormwater discharge that includes erosion prevention measures and sediment controls that, when implemented, will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and decrease pollution in receiving waters. This plan must be developed prior to submitting a permit application. A sample plan and development tools are available on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency web page at httu://cfpub l.epa.,gov/nudes/stormwater/swppp.cfm For section "'h" indicate if an Environmental Review has been completed if required, by answering "Yes" or "No" or "NA". Environmental review looks at how a proposed project could potentially affect the environment and looks at ways to avoid or minimize impacts before the project is permitted and built. Examples of categories that may need an environmental review include residential development; industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities; and also highway projects. For certain projects, environmental review is mandatory. For more details see the Guide lo Nlinnesola Envirownewal Re viei-r Rules, Chapter 6. This can be found at http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/pdf/rull-Xuid3.pdf 2. Indicate if discharges to special waters have been identified and addressed by answering "Yes" or "No" or "NA" (not applicable) on the Permit Application. The questions at the right can help in making this determination. Special waters have qualities that warrant extra protection. A list of these special water categories can be found in Appendix A of the permit. For information on special waters near the project's area, see the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPGA) Web page at http://www.pca.state.Mn.us/publications/wq-strm 1-05.xls Special Waters 2.a. Do you have a `special water' that is within 2,000 feet of the project? (see Appendix A of the Permil for a list ofthese special water calegories) 2.b. Do you have stormwater discharges that are within 2,000 feet of these special waters? 2.c. Will the discharges identified in 2.b. flow to the special waters? wq-strm2-58 Rmsed 11/06
