Industries can obtain permits through either individual application, group application or under a general permit.
For individual applications for direct stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities an application must be
submitted by November 18, 1991. For group applications for direct stormwater discharges associated with industrial
activities the group representative must submit Part I of the application by March 18, 1991. EPA will act on Part I
applications within 60 days and then the group representative must submit Part II of the application within one year.
General permits as of the date of this paper had not been promulgated. Draft general permit language issued in November 1990, indicate that a Notice of Intent (NOI) to be

Pollution Prevention Plans will be required within the same 180 days. Implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is required within 365 days of the General
