Download the NEW 2008 Permit (PDF) & related compliance documents:
Most compliance & SWPPP requirements for the 2008 permit can be found in the 2003 Stormwater Basics for Builders SWPPP manual; available below.
NOTE: There are two important grandfathering provisions in the 2008 permit.
- 18 Month Transition Period. There is an 18 month grandfathering provision in the new permit (from August 1, 2008 through January 31, 2010). This provides an 18 month period for projects permitted under the 2003 permit to complete the project under the terms and conditions of the 2003 permit OR transition the project into compliance with the 2008 stormwater permit.
- Permanent Stormwater Systems - ORVW / Impaired Waters. Additional permanent treatment is not required for previously permitted projects (those permitted under the 2003 permit) that have discharges to impaired waters or if the project is located between 2000 feet and one mile of, and discharges to, a special water.
