NPDES Stormwater Facilities and Activities

In October 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) stormwater permitting program in the State of Florida (in all areas except Indian Country lands). FDEP's authority to administer the NPDES program is set forth in Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The NPDES stormwater program regulates point source discharges of stormwater into surface waters of the State of Florida from certain municipal, industrial and construction activities. As the NPDES stormwater permitting authority, FDEP is responsible for promulgating rules and issuing permits, managing and reviewing permit applications, and performing compliance and enforcement activities. Only facilities with valid Florida locations are included in this dataset. The data locations provided represent the center of the facilities and activities. The accuracy of these data points is unknown and locational verification has not been performed.2000年10月，美国环境保护署（U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA）授权佛罗里达州环境保护部（Florida Department of Environmental Protection, FDEP）在佛罗里达州全域（印第安人保留地除外）推行国家污染物排放消除系统（National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems, NPDES）雨水许可计划。FDEP管理NPDES项目的法定权限源自《佛罗里达州法典》（Florida Statutes, F.S.）第403.0885条。NPDES雨水计划对特定市政、工业及建筑活动产生的雨水点源排放至佛罗里达州地表水域的行为进行监管。作为NPDES雨水许可的主管机构，FDEP需负责制定相关规则、核发许可、管理并审核许可申请，以及开展合规性检查与执法行动。本数据集仅收录位于佛罗里达州境内的有效设施。数据点位均对应设施及相关活动的中心位置，此类数据点的精度未经验证，且未开展位置核验工作。
