UPDATE:  The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) issued the new NPDES Industrial Stormwater General Permit July 1, 2011.  View the new permit and associated forms on the NDEQ website. 

The goal of this stormwater program element is to reduce pollutants that can result from business or industrial activities. In 2009, the City began issuing permits to commercial and industrial facilities in order to assist these facilities with compliance with their state NPDES requirements.  City staff will review the State required Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and provide assistance to commercial and industrial facilities to reduce inappropriate disposal of pollutants. In addition, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality requires the City to perform inspections of specific types of industrial and commercial facilities for proper stormwater pollution reduction activities.  

Click on the link below to see a copy of the permit to see if you are in one of the industrial sectors that is required to have a permit.  Applications must be submitted on line.  Exceptions can be made if you are not able to submit your application electronically.  Contact the Stormwater Hotline at 444-3908 for more information.

Industries that are issued a City of Omaha Industrial Stormwater Permit must also obtain as NPDES Industrial Stormwater (ISW) Permit from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.  More information can be found at http://www.deq.state.ne.us/.
