EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
Federal environmental rules and guidance that touch pavement maintenance: construction stormwater (CGP and SWPPP), PAHs from coal-tar sealcoat, VOCs, waste handling, and spill prevention.
Free public resource. Published and maintained by the agency.
What they offer
EPA pages on stormwater discharges from construction activities (Construction General Permit, inspector training, templates), stormwater best-management-practice fact sheets including coal-tar sealcoat and PAHs, and general compliance assistance.
Why it matters for pavement contractors
Sealcoat product choice, wash-water and slurry disposal, and erosion controls on larger jobs all have EPA or state-delegated rules. Many members work in states or cities that restrict coal-tar sealants.
Pricing
Free public resource. Permit fees, where they apply, are paid to EPA or the state.
