Idaho Small Business Development Center Offers Workshops on EPA Requirements

The Idaho Small Business Development Center will sponsor three workshops around the state to provide information to businesses that are subject to the Environmental Protection Agency’s industrial storm water permit or multi-sector general permit. The workshops will be held from 8:30 a.m. until noon the following days and locations:

— March 31, Boise, Associated General Contractors, 1649 West Shoreline Drive, Suite 100

— April 1, Idaho Falls, Idaho Falls Public Library, 457 West Broadway

— April 14, Post Falls, North Idaho College Workforce Training Center, 525 W. Clearwater Loop

The multi-sector general permit regulates the discharge of storm water from industrial facilities in 29 different industrial sectors. Any facility with outdoor activities that are exposed to precipitation may be subject to these regulations. Examples include auto salvage and recycling facilities, mines, forest product operations, asphalt and concrete plants, and transportation facilities.

The permit requires these industrial facilities to implement and maintain site-specific storm water control measures, develop storm water pollution prevention plans, and submit a notice of intent to the EPA by May 27. These requirements will be covered at the workshops.

For more information about the requirements or to register for a workshop, visit the Idaho SBDC Web site at www.IdahoSBDC.org or call 1-800–225-3815. Participants must pre-register for the workshops by March 25.
