Effective May 1, 2003, construction sites that
will result in a disturbance of one acre or more, are required to seek NPDES permit coverage under the Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities (Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.)

Operators must obtain coverage and implement pollution prevention techniques to minimize erosion and sedimentation and properly manage stormwater.  A CGP Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted to the NPDES Stormwater Notices Center to obtain permit coverage and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be developed and implemented to be in compliance with the permit.   Useful FDEP guidance links are provided below to assist you.

Please note:  The City of Melbourne requires a copy of your NOI and SWPP prior to site plan approval.  This is  required on all construction sites greater than 1 acre.
