         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 122--EPA ADMINISTERED PERMIT PROGRAMS: THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart B--Permit Application and Special NPDES Program Requirements
 
Sec. 122.36  As an operator of a regulated small MS4, what happens if I don't comply with the application or permit requirements in Secs. 122.33 through 122.35?

    NPDES permits are federally enforceable. Violators may be subject to 
the enforcement actions and penalties described in Clean Water Act 
sections 309 (b), (c), and (g) and 505, or under applicable State, 
Tribal, or local law. Compliance with a permit issued pursuant to 
section 402 of the Clean Water Act is deemed compliance, for purposes of 
sections 309 and 505, with sections 301, 302, 306, 307, and 403, except 
any standard imposed under section 307 for toxic pollutants injurious to 
human health. If you are covered as a co-permittee under an individual 
permit or under a general permit by means of a joint Notice of Intent 
you remain subject to the enforcement actions and penalties for the 
failure to comply with the terms of the permit in your jurisdiction 
except as set forth in Sec. 122.35(b).
