Of the delegated states and territories, only the Virgin Islands has not been delegated authority for the storm water general permits program as well.

EPA has not delegated authority to the following states and territories: Alaska, Arizona, District of Columbia, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Texas.
