Our EA for this project will document our findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of consultations under Section 106. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be.

The EA evaluates the potential environmental impacts from the discharge of pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities where EPA is the permitting authority.

Telephone: (202) 564–6646. EPA is seeking public comment regarding its preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to document its determination that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated from the issuance of the 2015 MultiSector General Permit. EPA invites the public to submit comments through Regulations.gov or by mail to the address cited in the ADDRESSES section during the 30-day comment period following the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Since 1995, EPA has issued a series of NPDES Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) that cover areas where EPA is the permitting authority. At present, EPA is the permitting authority in Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Mexico, Indian Country Lands, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories and protectorates. EPA’s current MSGP became effective on September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56572) and expired at midnight on September 29, 2013. The proposed action, would replace the 2008 MSGP. EPA proposes to issue the MSGP for five (5) years during which time the permit will provide coverage to eligible existing and new dischargers for the ten categories of industrial activities identified in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i)–(xi) where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority. On November 15, 2013, EPA initiated scoping for the development of the environmental issues and reasonable alternatives to be addressed in the EA. 78 FR 68835. The environmental review process, which is documented by the Environmental Assessment (EA), indicates that no potential significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated from the proposed action. The EA, which analyzed the potential environmental impacts of issuing the new MSGP, considered the potential environmental impacts from the discharge of pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities where EPA is the permitting authority. Based on the environmental impact analysis in the EA, EPA has determined that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated from the issuance of the 2015 Multi-Sector General Permit and the proposed action does not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, making the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) unnecessary.
