  3. State Owned - A facility owned or managed by a State agency (State parks, prisons, etc.)
  4. Federal - A facility owned by a federal agency (military owned installation, national park, federal penitentiary, etc.)

  1. Majors - Any point source discharger which Major Rating Score of 80 and more
  2. Minors - All dischargers which are not designated as major
  3. Generals - The purpose of the general permit rule is to provide a streamlined NPDES permitting process for certain classes or categories of industrial point source discharges under the requirements of the applicable general permit rule rather than the requirements of an individual permit specific to a single discharge. The following is a list of the general permit rules and the industrial activities they regulate (General permits are available)
