If there is a change in ownership at a storm water permitted facility, what must the new owner submit?

When ownership changes at a facility that is subject to storm water permits, it is essential for the new owner to submit a Transfer of Coverage form. This form is vital because it officially updates the regulatory authority about the change in ownership, ensuring that the permit is valid under the new owner's name. This process helps maintain compliance with storm water regulations and ensures that the new owner accepts responsibility for the facility's operations and any associated environmental obligations.

While other options might seem relevant, they do not specifically address the necessary action for a change in ownership regarding the existing storm water permit. For instance, the Storm Water Management plan is an internal document that identifies how a facility will manage storm water, and while it may need updates with ownership changes, it doesn’t serve the purpose of notifying the regulatory authority about ownership. Similarly, an Application for New Permit would typically be necessary if a completely new operation were starting, rather than just transferring an existing permit. Lastly, a Notification of Change is a broad term that does not specifically identify the necessary form required to transfer ownership of an existing permit. The Transfer of Coverage form is the correct and specific action needed in this scenario.
