Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit Program

During New Mexico’s rainy season there can be a high quantity of storm water flow. If this water flows over industrial facilities, it can pick up pollutants that may eventually contaminate surface water. LANL has various sampling stations to collect, analyze, and document sample results, which are published biannually in the Discharge Monitoring Report.

The Los Alamos National Laboratory (Laboratory) has established a comprehensive storm water program for its industrial activities. Historically, the Laboratory operated under the NPDES Baseline General Permit and then under the NPDES 1995 Multi-Sector General Permit. On December 23, 2000, the University of California and Department of Energy Office of Los Alamos Operations received NPDES coverage for its industrial activities under the 2000 Multi-Sector General Permit, Permit Nos. NMR05A734 and NMR05A735, respectively.
