If your industrial activity is described in the list requiring permit coverage, and your facility discharges stormwater associated with industrial activity directly to water in the state or into gutters, streets, channels, ditches, or other storm water conveyances that are part of a MS4, permit coverage is required.
To obtain industrial stormwater permit coverage, you must review your facility's compliance history, read the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for your facility, and submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the TCEQ.

The TCEQ Small Business and Local Government Assistance Program has developed a number of tools for assisting facilities in obtaining stormwater permit coverage and compliance with the permit requirements. These tools include a series of worksheets to aide in developing a SWPPP, monitoring requirement summaries, NOI application resources and sampling guides.
