Industrial Storm Water Permits
Certified storm water operators · Grand Rapids, Michigan
Most industrial facilities need a permit just to let rain and snowmelt leave their property. Federal rules at 40 CFR 122.26 require coverage for many industrial sites, and coverage is issued through your state environmental agency. CFR Environmental tells you plainly whether you need a permit, then helps you get it and stay in compliance.

Storm water permit FAQs
Does my facility need an industrial storm water permit?
It depends on your type of industrial activity and whether materials or operations are exposed to rain and snow. Federal rules at 40 CFR 122.26 list the covered categories, and your state environmental agency administers coverage. We can review your site and tell you where you stand.
What is a SWPPP?
A storm water pollution prevention plan describes your site, the potential sources of pollutants, and the Best Management Practices you use to keep them out of runoff. Most industrial storm water permits require one.
What should we do if a spill reaches a storm drain?
Contain it quickly and follow your facility's spill procedures. CFR can respond on site to help with cleanup, drain protection, and documentation.
