NR 216.46 and the storm water management plan required under s. NR 216.47 shall contain a written assessment of the potential for storm water from the facility to discharge a pollutant of concern and identify the control measures and maintenance practices that will collectively be used to reduce, with the goal of eliminating, storm water discharge containing pollutants of concern.

NR 216.50NR 216.50Amendments.
NR 216.50(1)(1)Landowner initiated. The permittee or landowner required to submit a notice of intent under this subchapter shall amend the erosion control and storm water management plans if either of the following occurs:
NR 216.50(1)(a)(a) There is a change in design, construction, operation or maintenance at the construction site which has the reasonable potential for the discharge of pollutants and which has not otherwise been addressed in the erosion control and storm water management plans. Changes that may trigger an amendment include addition of access points, additional land disturbing construction activity not included in the original plan, a change or elimination of a best management practice, an increase in proposed impervious area, and changes to post-construction site treatment practices. The department may require a permittee to file a new notice of intent if the amended site requires resource screening of additional area or the amended site no longer meets an exemption from post-construction performance standards under ss. NR 151.121 to 151.125.
NR 216.50(1)(b)(b) The actions required by the plan fail to reduce the impacts of pollutants carried by storm water runoff.
NR 216.50(2)(2)Submittal requirements. For construction sites for which there has been earlier department review of the erosion control and storm water management plans, if the permittee or landowner required to submit a notice of intent under this subchapter identifies changes needed in either plan, the permittee or the landowner required to submit a notice of intent under this subchapter shall notify the department 5 working days prior to making the changes in the plan.
NR 216.50(3)(3)Permit modification. The department may, upon request of a permittee or upon finding of just cause, modify the compliance and reporting schedules or any requirement of a storm water discharge permit.

NR 216.51NR 216.51Department actions.
NR 216.51(1)(1)Inadequate plans. The department may notify the permittee or landowner required to submit a notice of intent under this subchapter at any time that the erosion control or storm water management plans do not meet one or more of the requirements of this subchapter, or a permit issued pursuant to this subchapter, for reducing and preventing the discharge of pollutants. The notification shall identify those provisions that are not being met by the erosion control or storm water management plan, and identify which provisions of the plan require modifications in order to meet the requirements.
NR 216.51(2)(2)Required plan revisions. Within the time frame identified by the department in its notification, the permittee or landowner required to submit a notice of intent under this subchapter shall make the required changes to the erosion control and storm water management plans, perform all actions required by the revised plans, and submit to the department a written certification that the requested changes have been made and implemented, and submit other information the department requires. The department may revoke construction site storm water discharge permit coverage for failure to comply with this section or take action under s. 283.89, Stats. The landowner of a construction site where the department has revoked coverage under the general WPDES permit may not discharge storm water to waters of the state from the construction site unless an individual WPDES permit for storm water discharge is issued to the landowner.
NR 216.51(3)(3)Other storm water discharges. The department may require the landowner of any storm water discharge associated with land disturbing construction activity to apply for and obtain a storm water discharge permit if the storm water discharge is either:
NR 216.51(3)(a)(a) Contributing to the violation of a water quality standard, or
NR 216.51(3)(b)(b) Contributing significant pollution to waters of the state.
NR 216.51 NoteNote: This subsection allows the department to require permit coverage of construction sites with less than one acre of land disturbance.
NR 216.51(4)(4)Denial or revocation of general permit. The department may deny or revoke coverage under a general WPDES permit and require submittal of an application for an individual WPDES storm water permit based on a review of the completed notice of intent or other relevant information. The landowner of a construction site denied or revoked coverage under the general WPDES permit may not discharge storm water to waters of the state from the construction site until an individual WPDES permit for storm water discharge is issued to the landowner.
