CGP Now Covers Federal Lands
The EPA modified its 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) to expand eligibility to include construction projects in all Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. If you work on construction projects on federal lands where EPA is the permitting authority, this change applies to your projects now and the agency says there are no extra fees, only clearer rules.
Clarifies Stormwater Rules After Supreme Court
The modification clarifies which CGP requirements apply to projects that discharge to receiving waters within Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction in response to the Supreme Court decision in City and County of San Francisco v. EPA. If your construction project discharges to waters inside those federal lands, the permit now specifies how the CGP requirements apply.
