Note:

The existing Multi-Sector General Permit expired on April 30, 2006.

EPA’s Office of Water issued a proposed reissuance of the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) on De￾cember 1, 2005 with a comment period on the proposal that closed on February 16, 2006. EPA received a

large number of comments on the proposed permit and because EPA’s response to those comments requires

significant time and resources, EPA did not reissue the permit before the present permit’s April 30, 2006

expiration date.

Facilities that have already obtained coverage under the old MSGP should continue to implement their

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) and comply with the requirements in the MSGP.

Facilities that have not yet obtained coverage under the old MSGP should develop their Storm Water Pollu￾tion Prevention Plan and complete an application form for coverage under the requirements of the old

MSGP until a new permit is issued.

This template is intended to help auto recyclers obtain coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System Multi-Sector General Permit (NPDES-MSGP) to authorize storm water from automo￾bile salvage yards to be discharged at a point source to a receiving water of the United States. No representa￾tions are made as to the adequacy or completeness of the template. For a complete copy and explanation of

the requirements, refer to the Federal Register Notice published Monday, October 30, 2000, in Volume 65,

No. 210, available at: http://www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/msgp2000-final.pdf.

GETTING STARTED

General Background Information and Instructions for Using This Template

What is a NPDES - MSGP?

NPDES-MSGP stands for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Multi-Sector General

Permit. The NPDES-MSGP is a federal permit issued under the authority of the Clean Water Act by

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The purpose of the NPDES-MSGP is to control the discharge of polluted storm water run-off from

industrial activities to receiving waters of the United States. The permit applies to approximately 30

different industrial "sectors" comprised of various industrial activities identified and grouped by Stan￾dard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, including automobile salvage yards in Sector M (SIC code

5015) and scrap recycling facilities in Sector N (SIC code 5093).

The requirement for automobile salvage yards to obtain coverage under the NPDES-MSGP has been

in effect since 1995. Every five years, the permit expires and is re-issued by EPA, with amendments if

warranted. The current NPDES-MSGP was issued in October 2000 and will be reissued in 2006.

Although the deadline for obtaining coverage under the current NPDES-MSGP was January 29, 2001,

it is never too late to get started.

How can I figure out whether the permit applies to me?

You need coverage under the NPDES-MSGP if you:

9 Dismantle, wreck, or process motor vehicles to recover used parts for recycling or resale,

and/or scrap material for recycling.

AND

9 You do so on property where storm water (such as rain water or snow melt) flows to a point

source (such as a ditch, swale, channel, curb, culvert, pipe, or drain inlet) which discharges to

either a surface water (such as a stream, brook, river, pond, lake, canal, ocean or other surface

water) or a municipal storm sewer.

How do I get coverage under the permit?

To obtain coverage under the NPDES-MSGP, you must:

1. Make sure you are eligible for coverage. This requires you to determine that discharges from

your auto salvage yard do NOT:

■ Jeopardize endangered or threatened species, or critical habitat; nor

■ Adversely affect property listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of His￾toric Places.

2. Prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for your facility.
