Stormwater Compliance for the Winery Industry

California Industrial General Permit Overview

When it rains, the federal Clean Water Act states that the stormwater leaving your property is an industrial discharge. Pollution sources from your stormwater can include shipping and receiving areas, process equipment, material handling and storage areas, maintenance activities, and chemical storage areas.

The California Industrial General Permit (IGP) regulates stormwater discharges from industrial facilities based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes. As a result, stormwater discharges from wineries are regulated by the IGP, as they fall under SIC code 2084. Accordingly, wineries are required to have an industrial stormwater permit, file a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), test stormwater for pollutants, establish stormwater Best Management Practices, and comply with a myriad of reports.
