STORMWA TER DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY A. Types otlndustries Covered, SIC Codes This permit is intended to cover most new or existing discharges composed entirely of industrial stormwater from facilities required by State regulation to obtain a permit, as listed below. The industries are listed here by their Standard Industrial Classiftcation, or SIC Code. SIC Codes are assigned according to the activity per by a company. Companies with several activities frequently have several SIC Codes. SIC Codes are often assignedfor insurance purposes or when a business registers as a corporation. Industries can also determine their SIC Code by checking with their trade association, Chamber of Commerce, legal counsel, or their local libraryfor the SIC Manual. The Division will generally determine whether permit coverage is appropriate based on a company's primary SIC code. More than one type of industrial activity may be covered under the same certification if the activities are at the same site and are both otherwise covered under this permit. A two digit code, such as 22, means that all industries under that heading, such as 2221, 2249, etc., are covered.
