Maine Construction
Stormwater Inspections
Maine's Construction General Permit (MCGP) is administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for construction activities disturbing one or more acres. The permit integrates with Maine's Chapter 500 stormwater standards and places emphasis on protecting cold-water fisheries and sensitive coastal ecosystems. Maine's seasonal construction windows and freeze-thaw conditions require adaptive BMP strategies.
