Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)

Ensuring Compliance and Environmental Stewardship Through SPDES Multi-Sector General Permits for Stormwater Discharges

Uncontrolled stormwater runoff from industrial activities can result in the contamination of water bodies, leading to environmental degradation and regulatory violations. To safeguard water resources and ensure compliance with the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) requirements, it's essential to implement an effective stormwater management plan. At CORE Environmental Solutions, we specialize in navigating the complexities of the SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges, providing tailored solutions to meet your industrial site's unique needs.


Comprehensive Site Evaluation

Thoroughly assess your site's stormwater runoff potential and identify sector-specific pollutant risks.


Service Highlights:

  • Industrial Activity Assessment: Evaluate site operations to determine areas contributing to stormwater pollution.
  • Drainage and Flow Path Analysis: Map out the flow of stormwater to predict discharge points and potential pollutant pathways.
  • Pollutant Source Identification: Pinpoint hazardous substances, chemicals, and other potential pollutants that may be carried by stormwater.

SPDES MSGP Development & Implementation

Develop a compliant and effective SPDES MSGP plan that addresses the specific needs of your industry and site.


Service Highlights:

  • Stormwater Control Measures: Design and implement practices to minimize stormwater pollution, including sediment traps, retention ponds, and spill containment systems.
  • Sector-Specific BMPs: Tailor Best Management Practices (BMPs) for your industrial sector, whether it's manufacturing, transportation, or construction.
  • Runoff Reduction Strategies: Propose methods to reduce stormwater volume through green infrastructure, permeable pavements, and infiltration systems.

Compliance & Regulatory Assistance

Ensure your industrial site meets SPDES MSGP requirements and avoids penalties.


Service Highlights:

  • Permit Application Assistance: Guide you through the process of applying for the SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit, ensuring all documentation is in order.
  • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Integration: Incorporate your SWPPP with SPDES requirements for seamless compliance.
  • Employee Training Programs: Provide on-site staff training to ensure compliance with stormwater management protocols and prevent accidental discharges.

Monitoring, Reporting & Adaptive Management
