Oregon's NPDES stormwater permit program requires facilities and sites to implement control measures, conduct monitoring, and file reports demonstrating compliance with discharge limits. Construction sites must secure coverage under general permits, while industrial operations face facility-specific conditions based on activity type and pollutant risk. The Law Office of Frank Hammond LLC evaluates data from monitoring reports, stormwater sampling, and site inspections to identify compliance issues before agencies do.
