IDEM administers a general permit program that targets construction activities that are associated land disturbance of one (1) acre or more. The construction stormwater program is intended to reduce pollutants, principally sediment, that are a result of soil erosion and other activities associated with land-disturbing activities.

Applications to obtain permit coverage is available online through the IDEM Regulatory ePortal. Under the new CSGP, online applications are required.
