Background:  In Dec. 2016, the Water Quality Administrator for DEQ signed the revised National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Stormwater Construction General Permit No. 1200-C to be effective starting Dec. 15, 2015. The permit regulates stormwater runoff to surface waters from construction activities that disturb one or more acres in Oregon.  (Properties in Scappoose do not qualify for 1200-CN permits.)

What you need to know:  Construction sites disturbing one acre or more must be covered under the NPDES 1200-C. In addition, construction sites disturbing less than one acre and part of a larger common development plan or sale must be covered under the 1200-C permit. Examples of a large common development or sale include a subdivision or possibly a business park.
