Industrial Stormwater (MSGP) Compliance
CORE Environmental Consultants provides full Industrial Stormwater MSGP Compliance support for facilities regulated under the NYSDEC Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. From preparing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) to conducting stormwater sampling and completing annual reports, our team helps clients meet all technical and administrative requirements under SPDES General Permit GP-0-25-001.
We serve a wide range of regulated sectors across New York State, including transportation, manufacturing, recycling, and waste management facilities.
When Is Industrial Stormwater MSGP Coverage Required?
Facilities must obtain coverage under the MSGP if they:
- Have an industrial activity code (SIC code) listed in the MSGP permit appendix
- Have exposed materials or processes that could be contacted by stormwater
- Discharge stormwater directly or indirectly to waters of the state
- Are required to do so by a DEC enforcement action or Notice of Violation (NOV)
Failure to comply with MSGP requirements can result in violations, fines, and disruption to site operations.

Our Industrial Stormwater MSGP Process
- Applicability Review & NOI Filing
We determine your facility’s sector code, exposure status, and discharge pathway. If MSGP applies, we file your Notice of Intent (NOI) with NYSDEC electronically. - Industrial SWPPP Preparation
CORE prepares or updates your Industrial SWPPP, including a site-specific BMP plan, drainage map, and pollution prevention team responsibilities. - Monitoring Program Setup
We identify outfalls, sampling points, and benchmark pollutants based on your sector. We then schedule: - Quarterly visual inspections
- Benchmark monitoring (analytical lab samples)
- Corrective action triggers if benchmarks are exceeded
- Training & Internal Compliance
We train your staff to perform inspections, implement BMPs, and manage records. We also provide templates and checklists to streamline documentation. - Annual Reporting & Ongoing Support
CORE prepares your Annual Certification Report (ACR) and assists with Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) or any agency follow-up.
