In Nebraska, construction stormwater coverage comes from Construction Storm Water General Permit (permit no. NER210000), issued by Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment (NDEE). It took effect December 1, 2021 and expires November 30, 2026 (continues administratively if not reissued, Part G).
Scope note. The permit expires 2026-11-30. Plans written now must be re-checked against the reissued permit.

- The operator signs the plan and is responsible for it.
- We do not visit or inspect sites.
- We do not file the NOI or any permit application for you. We tell you which form and portal the permit names.
