Introduction to Multilingual Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Development Permitting – Update on NPDES Permits - Athens GA
1.
2. Hello, we are Williams & Associates,
an Athens, Georgia based civil engineering
firm, with news today on a regulatory
update for our clients with active projects
in the
state of Georgia..
3. Today I’ll be talking about changes to
NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permits
in the state of Georgia
5. The National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (or NPDES) General
Permits for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with
Construction Activities for Stand Alone,
Infrastructure and Common Development
projects expired on July 31, 2013.
6. On July 26, 2013, the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division ("EPD")
provided a
"No Action Assurance" for storm water
discharges to waters of the State
associated with new construction activities
that did obtain coverage under General
Permit Nos.
GAR1 00001, GAR1 00002 or GAR1
7. New general permits to replace the 2008
General Permits were public noticed on or
around Tuesday, July 30, 2013.
8. EPD will consider all relevant comments
received during the thirty day public
comment period, and will issue new
general permits
as expeditiously as possible after the close
of the comment period.
9. Permittees of current projects with
expired NPDES General Permits will have
90 days from the day the new permits
are issued to re-file.
10. The proposed changes to the NPDES
General Permits for Storm Water
Discharges Associated with Construction
Activities for Stand Alone, Infrastructure
and Common Development only minimally
affect design and development.
11. If you have questions, contact the GA EPD
and the GSWCC (the Georgia Soil and
Water Conservation Commission).
12. OR simply contact us here at
Williams & Associates if you need
clarification about these or other
construction and development
permitting issues.
13. We always stay on top of the latest
regulations to insure compliance and
minimize surprises for our clients.
14. And in any case, good luck in your next
project, and if you’re ever in Athens,
stop by and see us.
