Summary of EPA's New Rule for Polluted Runoff from Construction Sites
- "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is promulgating effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) and new source performance standards (NSPS) to control the discharge of pollutants from construction sites. This rule requires construction site owners and operators to implement a range of erosion and sediment control measures and pollution prevention practices to control pollutants in discharges from construction sites. In addition, the rule requires certain construction site owners and operators to sample stormwater discharges and comply with a numeric standard for the pollutant turbidity in these discharges starting in August of 2011." - excerpt from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Fact Sheet on the Final Rule: Effluent Guidelines for Discharges from the Construction and Development Industry.
