Massachusetts Construction
Stormwater Inspections
Massachusetts is covered by EPA's federal Construction General Permit (CGP) as the state has not assumed NPDES program authority. The EPA Region 1 office administers the permit for construction activities disturbing one or more acres. Projects must also comply with Massachusetts Stormwater Management Standards and local wetland protection requirements, creating a multi-layered compliance framework.
