Industrial General Permit Fact Sheet

Dischargers are also required to submit their SWPPPs and any SWPPP
revisions via SMARTS; accordingly, BMP revisions made in response to
observed compliance problems will be included in the revised SWPPP
electronically submitted via SMARTS. Not all SWPPP revisions are
significant and it is up to the Dischargers to distinguish between revisions
that are significant and those that are not significant. If no changes are
made at all to the SWPPP, the Discharger is not required to resubmit the
SWPPP on any specific frequency.

 Significant SWPPP Revisions: Dischargers are required to certify and
submit via SMARTS their SWPPP within 30 days of the significant
revision(s). While it is not easy to draw a line generally between
revisions that are significant and those that are not significant,
Dischargers are not required to certify and submit via SMARTS any
SWPPP revisions that are comprised of only typographical fixes or
minor clarifications.

 All Other SWPPP Revisions: Dischargers are required to submit
revisions to the SWPPP that are determined to not be significant every
three (3) months in the reporting year.
