The EPA and ADEQ regulate Stormwater discharges of precipitation from land, pavement, roof-tops and other structures. Such run-off can accumulate metals, chemicals, oil and bacteria. Stormwater discharges are regulated pursuant to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and (AZPDES) permitting programs. Failure to comply with the stormwater requirements can result in significant liability.
The Pit-Falls: Most developers and business owners are unaware of the need for stormwater compliance or misunderstand the regulations.
