KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — New storm water permit applications for Tennessee businesses will be explained in workshops this month at locations throughout the state.
The workshops are a project of the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
As permits expire in 1997, new regulations for receiving a permit take effect.
Workshop topics will include the application process, basics of storm water management, monitoring and sampling requirements, pollution prevention techniques, employee training and timelines for compliance.
Cost of the workshop is $125, including lunch and an up-to-date manual of storm water regulations.
Workshops will be held at the following locations, beginning at 8:30 a.m.:
