Water Quality Permit

A Water Quality Permit is a broad category that can include permits for stormwater runoff, dredging, or filling wetlands. It ensures that development and industrial activities do not degrade water quality or destroy critical water habitats. For construction sites, it typically requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to control erosion and sediment runoff. Compliance is monitored through inspections and self-reporting.
