The PAG-03 General Permit is intended to provide NPDES water quality permit coverage for discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activities, including for the mineral industry, for sewage treatment works, for stormwater associated with construction activities and other industrial stormwater discharges that may be required to obtain a permit under the state Clean Streams Law.
