Lower Nazareth Township in Northampton County, Pennsylvania is home to growing industrial and warehousing development in the Bushkill Creek drainage area. Facilities operating in the Bushkill Creek watershed must comply with PADEP’s NPDES industrial stormwater permit program — specifically the PAG-03 General Permit — which requires implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), conducting regular inspections, performing benchmark monitoring, and submitting semi-annual Discharge Monitoring Reports to PADEP.
USA Environmental Solutions provides industrial stormwater compliance services for facilities throughout Lower Nazareth Township and Northampton County, helping operators meet all permit requirements and protect the Bushkill Creek watershed from industrial pollutants.
NPDES Industrial Stormwater Requirements in Lower Nazareth Township
Under Pennsylvania’s PAG-03 permit, industrial facilities in Lower Nazareth Township must develop and maintain a current SWPPP, conduct quarterly visual assessments of stormwater discharge points, perform benchmark monitoring for parameters associated with their SIC code, train employees on stormwater pollution prevention, and submit semi-annual DMRs to PADEP.
