2010 Remediation General Permit

The Notice of Availability of the final 2010 NPDES Remediation General Permit (RGP) in Massachusetts (MAG910000) and New Hampshire (NHG910000) was published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2010 and became effective September 10, 2010. The 2010 RGP has been administratively continued and will be superseded following the effective date of the RGP reissuance.

The following changes were made to the 2010 RGP during the permit term:

• Appendix III - The effluent limit for Benzene was omitted. The effluent limit for benzene in 5 µg/l.
• Appendix VI - The test method for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons was incorrect. The correct test method is Method 1664A.

The changes were made to correct errors in the 2010 RGP, disseminated as a "Minor Modification" based on 40 CFR Section 122.63.
