OPINION
BROWNING, Circuit Judge:
Petitioners challenge a rule issued by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Clean
Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387, to control pollutants
introduced into the nation's waters by storm sewers.
Storm sewers drain rainwater and melted snow from devel-
oped areas into water bodies that can handle the excess flow.
Draining stormwater picks up a variety of contaminants as it
filters through soil and over pavement on its way to sewers.
Sewers are also used on occasion as an easy (if illicit) means
for the direct discharge of unwanted contaminants. Since
storm sewer systems generally channel collected runoff into
federally protected water bodies, they are subject to the con-
trols of the Clean Water Act.
In October of 1999, after thirteen years in process, the
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") promulgated a
final administrative rule (the "Phase II Rule"1 or "the Rule")
under § 402(p) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p),
mandating that discharges from small municipal separate
storm sewer systems and from construction sites between one
and five acres in size be subject to the permitting require-
ments of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES"), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1311(a), 1342. EPA preserved
1The "Phase II Rule" reviewed here is the product of the second stage
of EPA's two-phase stormwater rulemaking effort. The "Phase I Rule,"
governing larger-scale storm water discharges, was issued in I 990 and
reviewed by this court in Natural Res. Def Council v. EPA , 966 F.2d 1292
(9th Cir. 1992).

authority to regulate other harmful stormwater discharges in
the future.
In the three cases consolidated here, petitioners and interve-
nors challenge the Phase II Rule on twenty-two constitutional,
statutory, and procedural grounds. We remand three aspects
of the Rule concerning the issuance of notices of intent under
the Rule 's general permitting scheme, and a fourth aspect
concerning the regulation of forest roads. We affirm the Rule
against all other challenges.

BACKGROUND
A. The Problem of Stormwater Runoff
Stormwater runoff is one of the most significant sources of
water pollution in the nation, at times "comparable to, if not
greater than, contamination from industrial and sewage
sources."2 Storm sewer waters carry suspended metals, sedi-
ments, algae-promoting nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus),
floatable trash, used motor oil, raw sewage, pesticides, and
other toxic contaminants into streams, rivers, lakes, and estu-
aries across the United States.3 In 1985 , three-quarters of the
States cited urban stormwater runoff as a major cause of
waterbody impairment, and forty percent reported construc-
tion site runoff as a major cause of impairment.4 Urban runoff
has been named as the foremost cause of impairment of sur-

veyed ocean waters.5 Among the sources of stormwater con-
tamination are urban development, industrial facilities,
construction sites, and illicit discharges and connections to
storm sewer systems.6
B. Stormwater and the Clean Water Act
Congress enacted the Clean Water Act in 1948 to "restore
and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of the Nation's waters." 33 U.S.C. § 1251(a) (originally codi-
fied as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 62 Stat.
1155). The Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of pollu-
tants from a "point source"7 into the waters of the United
States without a permit issued under the terms of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, 33 U.S.C.
§§ 13 ll(a), 1342, which requires dischargers to comply with
technology-based pollution limitations (generally according to
the "best available technology economically achievable," or
"BAT" standard). 33 U.S.C. § 131l(b)(2)(A). NPDES permits
are issued by EPA or by States that have been authorized by
EPA to act as NPDES permitting authorities. 33 U.S.C.
§ 1342(a)-(b). The permitting authority must make copies of
all NPDES permits and permit applications available to the
public, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342(j), 1342(b)(3); state permitting
authorities must provide EPA notice of each permit applica-
tion, 33 U.S.C. § 1342(b)(4); and a permitting authority must
provide an opportunity for a public hearing before issuing any
permit, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342(a)(l), 1342(b)(3); cf 33 U.S.C.
§ 1251(e) (requiring public participation).

including but not limited to any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well,
discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding oper-
ation, or vessel or other floating craft, from which pollutants are or may
be discharged." 33 U.S.C. § 1362(14).
ENVIRONMENTAL D EFENSE CENTER v. EPA 13777
Storm sewers are established point sources subject to
NPDES permitting requirements. Natural Res. Def Council v.
Castle, 568 F.2d 1369, 1379 (D.C. Cir. 1977) (holding unlaw-
ful EPA's exemption of stormwater discharges from NPDES
permitting requirements); Natural Res. Def Council v. EPA,
966 F.2d 1292, 1295 (9th Cir. 1992).8 In 1987, to better regu-
late pollution conveyed by stormwater runoff, Congress
enacted Clean Water Act§ 402(p), 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p), "Mu-
nicipal and Industrial Stormwater Discharges." Sections
402(p)(2) and 402(p)(3) mandate NPDES permits for storm-
water discharges "associated with industrial activity," dis-
charges from large and medium-sized municipal storm sewer
systems, and certain other discharges. Section 402(p )( 4) sets
out a timetable for promulgation of the first of a two-phase
overall program of stormwater regulation. Id. at § 1342(p)(2)-
(4); Natural Res. Def Council, 966 F.2d at 1296. In 1990,
pursuant to§ 402(p)(4), EPA issued the Phase I Rule regulat-
ing large discharge sources.9
C. The Phase II Stormwater Rule
In Clean Water Act § 402(p ), Congress also directed a sec-
ond stage of storm water regulation by ordering EPA to iden-
tify and address sources of pollution not covered by the Phase
I Rule. Section 402(p)(l) placed a temporary moratorium
8Diffuse runoff, such as rainwater that is not channeled through a point
source, is considered nonpoint source pollution and is not subject to fed-
eral regulation. Oregon Natural Desert Ass 'n v. Dombek, 172 F.3d I 092,

1990) (codified at 40 C.F.R. pt. 122-124). The Phase I rul e was challenged
in this court in Natural Res. Def Council, 966 F.2d at 1292. We held, inter
alia, that EPA must impose deadlines for permit approvals, id. at 1300,
that EPA's decision to regulate construction sites only over five acres in
size was arbitrary and capricious, id. at 1306, and that EPA did not act
capriciously in defining "municipal," id. at 1304, or in placi ng differently-
sized municipalities on different permitting schedules, id. at 130 I.

(expiring in 1994) on the permitting of other storm water dis-
charges pending the results of studies mandated in§ 402(p)(5)
to identify the sources and pollutant content of such dis-
charges and to establish procedures and methods to control
them as "necessary to mitigate impacts on water quality." 33
U.S.C. § 1342(p)(5). Section 402(p)(6) required that EPA
establish "a comprehensive program to regulate" these storm-
water discharges "to protect water quality," following the
studies mandated in § 402(p)(5) and consultation with state
and local officials. Id. at § 1342(p)(6).
EPA proposed the Phase II Rule in January of 1998.10 In
October, 1999, Congress passed legislation precluding EPA
from promulgating the new Rule until EPA submitted an
additional report to Congress supporting certain anticipated
aspects of the Rule.11 EPA was also required to publish its
report in the Federal Register for public comment. Pub. L. No.
106-74, § 431(c), 113 Stat. at 1097. Later that month, EPA
submitted the required ("Appropriations Act") study and pro-
mulgated the Rule.12
Under the Phase II Rule, NPDES permits are required for
discharges from small municipal separate storm sewer sys-
tems ("small MS4s") and stormwater discharges from con-
struction activity disturbing between one and five acres
("small construction sites"). 40 C.F.R. §§ 122.26(a)(9)(i)(A)-
(B). Small MS4s may seek permission to discharge by sub-
mitting an individualized set of best-management plans in six

individual permit application, or in the form of a notice of
intent to comply with a general permit. Id. at § 122.33(b).
Small MS4s may also seek permission to discharge through
an alternative process, under which a permit may be sought
without requiring the operator to regulate third parties, id. at
§§ 122.33(b)(2)(ii), 122.26(d).13 Small construction sites may
apply for individual NPDES permits or seek coverage under
a promulgated general permit. Id. at § 122.26(c). EPA also
preserved authority to regulate other categories of harmful
stormwater discharges on a regional, as-needed basis. Id. at
§ 122.26(a)(9)(i)(C)-(D).
D. Facial Challenges to the Phase II Rule
The Rule was challenged in the Fifth, Ninth, and D.C. Cir-
cuits in three separate actions ultimately consolidated before
the Ninth Circuit.
The Texas Cities Coalition on Stormwater and the Texas
Counties Stormwater Coalition (collectively, "the Municipal
Petitioners") assert that EPA lacked authority to require per-
mitting, that its promulgation of the Rule was procedurally
defective, that the Rule establishes categories that are arbi-
trary and capricious, and that the Rule impermissibly requires
municipalities to regulate their own citizens in contravention
of the Tenth Amendinent and to communicate a federally
mandated message in contravention of the First Amendment.
The Natural Resources Defense Council ("NRDC") inter-
vened on behalf of EPA.
Environmental Defense Center, joined by petitioner-
intervenor NRDC ("the Environmental Petitioners"), asserts
that the regulations fail to meet minimum Clean Water Act
13The Rule also allows a small MS4 to be regulated under an individual
NPDES permit covering a nearby large or medium MS4, with provisions
adapted to address the small MS4. 40 C.F.R. § 122.33(b)(3).
13780 E NVIRONMENTAL D EFENSE C ENTER V. EPA
statutory requirements because they constitute a program of
impermissible self-regulation, fail to provide required avenues
of public participation, and neglect to address stormwater run-
off associated with forest roads and other significant sources
of runoff pollution.
The American Forest & Paper Association ("AF&PA") and
the National Association of Home Builders ("the Industrial
Petitioners") assert that promulgation of the Rule was proce-
durally defective and violated the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
that EPA' s retention of authority to regulate future sources of
runoff pollution is ultra vires, and that the decision to regulate
discharge from construction sites one to five acres in size is
arbitrary and capricious. NRDC again intervened on behalf of
EPA.
We have jurisdiction pursuant to section 509(b )( 1) of the
Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1369(b)(l) (assigning review of
EPA effluent and permitting regulations to the Federal Courts
of Appeals).
II.
DISCUSSION
A. The Permit Requirements
The Municipal Petitioners' primary contention is that the
Phase II Rule compels small MS4s to regulate citizens as a
condition of receiving a permit to operate, and that EPA lacks
both statutory and constitutional authority to impose such a
requirement. Because we avoid considering constitutionality
if an issue may be resolved on narrower grounds, Greater
New Orleans Broadcasting Ass 'n v. United States, 527 U.S.
173, 184 (1999), we first ask whether the Phase II Rule is sup-
ported by statutory authority.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
According to the EPA Storm Water Phase II Rule, under the Clean Water
Act, the City of College Station is a small MS4 owner/operator. The Phase II
Rule requires College Station to reduce pollutants in storm water to the
maximum extent practicable to protect water quality. The City is required to
develop and implement a stormwater management plan that addresses the six
minimum control measures described in the storm water regulations. These six
minimum measures are:
1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
2. Public Involvement/Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
5. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
6. Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
There is a seventh optional measure, Authorization for Municipal Construction
Activities. The City has decided that construction projects should apply for an
individual permit and submit separate Notice of Intent for their projects. This
will ease the City staff administrative burden and place the implementation of
Best Management Practices onto each individual project.
The development of this Stormwater Management Plan involved the
cooperation of several city departments. These include Public Works, the
department responsible for street and drainage activities, as well as recycling
collection and hazardous waste education; College Station Utilities, the
department responsible for illicit discharge detection and the City's sanitary
sewer system, Parks and Recreation, Community Enhancement,and
Development Services, the department reviewing construction site plans and
administering the City's Unified Development Ordinance. The City has set out
a five year program for implementation of this stormwater management plan.
It is anticipated that several ordinance revisions will be required for full
implementation.
