Construction Storm Water Permit. The Construction Storm Water Permit authorizes discharges of storm water associated with construction activity as long as the best available technology economically achievable (BAT) and best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT) are implemented to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water runoff. BAT/BCT technologies include passive systems such as erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs1) as well as structural controls, as necessary, to achieve compliance with water quality standards. The Construction Storm Water Permit identifies effective erosion control measures such as “preserving existing vegetation where feasible, limiting disturbance, and stabilizing and re-vegetating disturbed areas as soon as possible after grading or construction activities.” (Construction Storm Water Permit, § II.J.1.e.) 1 Best management practices (BMPs) are “schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of ‘waters of the United States.’ BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.” (40 C.F.R. § 122.2)
