Coalition Comments to EPA Requesting Withdrawal of the Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 2026 Issuance of the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity
We respectfully request that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdraw the December 13, 2024 proposed Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.1 We are extremely disappointed in this proposal for several reasons, most importantly that it imposes substantial additional costs on small businesses without any evident additional benefits.2 The next Administration should have the opportunity to thoroughly re-examine this proposal, using the Executive Order 12866 review process.
