Thank you for your inquiry. Until the TCEQ permit is issued (probably December 18th or very soon after), large construction sites should obtain
permit coverage under the current NPDES construction general permit. To do this, simply develop a storm water pollution prevention plan
according to the EPA general permit, complete the EPA's notice of intent, and send it to the address on the form.
After the TCEQ permit is issued, construction projects authorized under the NPDES permit may continue to operate under that permit for 90 days.
Before this 90 day period expires, these permittaes must either finally stabilize the sites according to the conditions of the NPDES permit, or submit
a notice of intent to the TCEQ for continued coverage under the new permit.
I hope that this has answered some of your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional assistance.

Under the ISTEA, the City of Coppell was not required to obtain a storm
water permit for large construction activities. The City is opening
bids on November 1, 2002 for a small construction project and is
scheduled to start construction prior to issuance of the general permit
on December 9, 2002. Do I have to obtain permit coverage for this
project? Would we be r~luimd to obtain a permit on a large
construction project if we started construction prior to December 9?
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated.
Thanks
