New Mexico Construction
Stormwater Inspections
New Mexico is covered by EPA's federal Construction General Permit as the state has not assumed NPDES program authority for stormwater. EPA Region 6 administers the permit for construction activities disturbing one or more acres. New Mexico's arid climate, monsoonal precipitation patterns, and sensitive desert watersheds require specialized erosion and sediment control approaches.
