There are three main permits associated with stormwater depending on the application.  These permits cover industrial activities, municipal activities and construction activities.  Within these categories, there are also two types of permits that may be issued associated with these activities, general permits and individual permits.  Most activities are covered by general permits, however, some complex projects or facilities may require an indivudal permit.

The permits are issued by the Arkansas Departement of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), however, some of the duties regarding approval are passed down from ADEQ to the cities. Springdale is required to review and approve construction plans and issues a separate grading permit for these activites.  Please reference the Springdale Regulations tab for further information on grading permits.

Below are links to the common general permits that are issued by ADEQ.
