2022 Construction General Permit

What the authority record establishes

EPA's CGP provides permit coverage and requirements for qualifying construction stormwater discharges in areas where EPA is the permitting authority.

Binding permit conditions only within the permit's jurisdiction and coverage; many states and tribes administer separate programs

The exact official title, issuing body, jurisdiction, version or application record, and linked source define the scope of this page. Readers should not transfer the authority's status to a commercial product or infer transaction-, patient-, system-, site-, or organization-specific applicability from this summary.
