California’s Industrial General Permit – Stormwater Seminar Presentation and Resources

Presentation materials and a list of businesses that must comply with the stormwater permit are located here for your convenience. The businesses are listed by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number listed in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual which is published by the Office of Management and Budget.

This seminar took place on March 1, 2016, in Southern California.

The presentation answers these basic questions:

• Who needs to comply?
• How and what to file
• Can I get out of the permit?
• Are there value creation opportunities to minimize cost and still comply with the permit?
• Can I be fined? How Much?
• Will Environmental Non-Government Organizations target my business for lawsuits?
• If I am a tenant, what is my liability to a property owner and what steps should I take to protect myself?
• If I am a property owner, am I liable? What steps should I take during a purchase or lease to protect myself and inform my tenants of their legal obligations?
