National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Compliance Inspection Manual from the EPA
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Compliance Inspection Manual provides guidance on NPDES inspections of wastewater treatment plants, industrial and construction sites, pretreatment facilities, biosolids handling and treatment facilities, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), municipal wastewater collection systems (combined and separate from stormwater) as well as pollution prevention and multimedia concerns. These procedures are fundamental to the EPA NPDES program and provide inspectors with a method for conducting inspections.

What is the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System?
Polluted runoff is a leading cause of impairment to the nearly 40 percent of surveyed U.S. water bodies which do not meet quality standards. Over land or via storm sewer systems, polluted runoff is discharged, often untreated, directly into local water bodies. When left uncontrolled, this pollution can result in the destruction of fish, wildlife, and aquatic life habitats; a loss in aesthetic value; and threats to public health due to contaminated food, drinking water supplies, and recreational waterways.

Mandated by Congress under the Clean Water Act, the NPDES Stormwater Program is a comprehensive two-phased national program for addressing the non-agricultural sources of storm water discharges which adversely affect the quality of our nation's waters. The program uses the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting mechanism to require the implementation of controls designed to prevent harmful pollutants from being discharged by runoff into local water bodies.

What is required of regulated entities under the
NPDES Program?
The regulated entities must obtain coverage under an NPDES stormwater permit and implement pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) or management programs (both using best practices) that effectively reduce or prevent the discharges of pollutants into receiving waters.

Construction: What is meant by a
"larger common plan of development or sale?"
A "larger common plan of development or sale" is a contiguous area where multiple separate and distinct construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules under one plan. For example, if a developer buys a 20-acre lot and builds roads, installs pipes, and runs electricity with the intention of constructing homes or other structures sometime in the future, this would be considered a larger common plan of development or sale. If the land is parceled off or sold, and construction occurs on plots that are less than one acre by separate, independent builders, this activity still would be subject to stormwater permitting requirements if the smaller plots were included on the original site plan. The larger common plan of development or sale also applies to other types of land development such as industrial parks or well fields. A permit is required if 1 or more acres of land will be disturbed, regardless of the size of any of the individually-owned or developed sites.
