- Municipal: Discharges from city or town sewage systems.
- Commercial: Wastewater from commercial establishments like shopping centers or offices.
- Industrial Wastewater: Discharges from manufacturing or processing plants.

Storm Water Permits During Operation in Illinois
In Illinois, an NPDES Industrial Storm Water Permit – Notice of Intent (ISW-NOI) is necessary for facilities with stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities. The NOI should be submitted to the Illinois EPA at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the facility’s operation. A primary condition of this permit is the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which addresses stormwater runoff and exterior housekeeping practices.
The Illinois EPA offers an online application process for the NPDES Industrial Storm Water permit. All relevant application information and instructions are provided through this online system. The SWPPP must be included with the submission of the NOI.
