Ohio Admin. Code 901:10-1-11 - Exclusions
The following discharges do not require NPDES permits:
(A) Discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the state which are regulated under section 404 of the act
which is codified in
33 USC
1344 (February 4, 1987) and by the
director of Ohio environmental protection
agency in accordance with Chapter 6111. of the
Revised Code.
(B) The introduction
of sewage, industrial wastes, or other pollutants into publicly owned treatment
works by indirect dischargers. Plans or agreements to switch to this method of

comply with NPDES permits until all discharges of pollutants to waters of the
state are eliminated. This exclusion does not apply to the introduction of
pollutants to privately owned treatment works or to other discharges through
pipes, sewers, or other conveyances owned by a state, municipality, or other
party not leading to treatment works.
(C) Any discharge in compliance with the
instruction of a federal on-scene coordinator, as that term is defined in
section 2305.39 of the Revised Code, who
is the federal official designated in the national contingency plan pursuant to
40 CFR part 300 (September 15, 1994) ("The
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan") or 33 CFR
153.10(e)
153.103(n)
(June 19, 2008) ("Pollution by Oil and Hazardous Substances").
(D) Any introduction of pollutants from
nonpoint source agricultural and silvicultural activities, including stormwater
runoff from orchards, cultivated crops, pastures range lands and forest lands,
