Operators of industrial facilities requiring an Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) Stormwater Permit are eligible to obtain coverage under the MSGP if their activities are included within one of 29 industrial sectors. See Appendix D of the MSGP for a listing of facilities and activities that are covered. Development and implementation of an industrial stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is the key condition of the MSGP. Under section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and regulations at 40 CFR Part 122.26, adopted by reference at 18 AAC 83.010 (3) stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity are prohibited to waters of the United States unless authorized under an Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permit. The 2020 MSGP became effective on April 1, 2020 and will expire on March 31, 2025.
