Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

21 rewritten, 15 added, 5 removed, 132 unchanged

Rewritten

[removed: Since early 2006,] [added: In recent years,] the U.S. housing market [removed: has been] [added: was] unfavorably impacted by severe weakness in new home sales attributable to, among other factors, weak consumer confidence, tightened mortgage standards, significant foreclosure activity, a more challenging appraisal environment, higher than normal unemployment levels, and significant uncertainty in the global economy.

Rewritten

These conditions [removed: have] contributed to sharply weakened demand for new homes and heightened pricing pressures on new and existing home sales.

Rewritten

[removed: We cannot predict the duration or the severity of the current market conditions, nor] [added: Accordingly, we can] provide [removed: any] [added: no] assurances that the adjustments we have made in our operating strategy [removed: to address these conditions] will be successful.

Rewritten

The market value of land, building lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market [removed: conditions] [added: conditions,] and the measures we employ to manage inventory risk may not be adequate to insulate our operations from a severe drop in inventory values.

Rewritten

As a result of the [removed: changing] [added: challenging] market conditions in the homebuilding [removed: industry that have occurred since early 2006,] [added: industry,] we [added: have] incurred significant land-related charges resulting from the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land transactions we elected not to pursue, net realizable valuation adjustments related to land positions sold or held for sale, impairments on land assets related to communities under development or to be developed in the future, impairments of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and impairments of our recorded goodwill.

Rewritten

Additionally, if conditions in the homebuilding industry or our local markets worsen in the [removed: future, if the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations,] [added: future] or if our strategy related to certain communities changes, we may be required to evaluate our assets for additional impairments or write-downs, which could result in additional charges that might be significant.

Rewritten

At December 31, [removed: 2011,] [added: 2012,] we had cash and equivalents of [removed: $1.1] [added: $1.4] billion as well as restricted cash totaling [removed: $101.9] [added: $72.0] million.

Rewritten

At December 31, [removed: 2011,] [added: 2012,] we had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling [removed: $235.9] [added: $179.2] million and [removed: $1.2] [added: $1.0] billion, respectively.

Rewritten

Of these amounts outstanding, [removed: $83.2] [added: $54.5] million of the letters of credit were subject to cash-collateralized agreements while the remaining letters of credit and surety bonds were unsecured.

Rewritten

Our evaluation [added: of our tax matters] is based on a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.

Rewritten

Although we believe our approach to determining the tax treatment [added: for such items] is appropriate, no assurance can be given that the final tax authority review will not be materially different than that which is reflected in our income tax provision and related tax reserves.

Rewritten

Such differences could have a material adverse effect on our income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made and, consequently, on our [added: financial position or] net income for such period.

Rewritten

As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are [removed: appropriately] recorded in our financial statements in the period determined.

Rewritten

As a result of the merger with [removed: Centex,] [added: Centex in August 2009,] our ability to use certain of Centex’s pre-ownership change NOLs, BILs, [removed: or] [added: and] deductions is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Rewritten

The applicable Section 382 limitation is approximately $67.4 million per year for NOLs, losses realized on built-in loss assets that are sold within 60 months of the ownership [removed: change,] [added: change (i.e. before August 2014),] and certain deductions.

Rewritten

The value of our deferred tax assets is also dependent upon the tax rates [added: expected to be] in effect at the time taxable income is expected to be generated.

Rewritten

New housing developments may [added: also] be subject to various assessments for schools, parks, streets, and other public improvements.

Rewritten

These can cause an increase in the effective [removed: prices for] [added: cost of] our homes.

Rewritten

They [removed: may] also subject our operations to examination by applicable agencies, pursuant to which those agencies may limit our ability to provide mortgage financing or title services to potential purchasers of our homes.

Rewritten

Inflation may result in increased costs that we may not be able to [removed: recoup if demand declines.][added: recoup.]

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which have a negative impact on housing demand, in which case] [added: However,] we may not be able to raise home prices sufficiently to keep up with the rate of inflation and our margins could decrease.

New in FY2012

The homebuilding industry experienced a significant downturn in recent years.

New in FY2012

Although industry conditions improved during 2012, the overall U.S. economy remains weak and the timing of a broad, sustainable recovery in the homebuilding industry remains uncertain.

New in FY2012

A deterioration in industry conditions could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

New in FY2012

During 2012, overall industry new home sales increased, and we returned to profitability.

New in FY2012

However, the overall demand for new homes remains at low historical levels, and the timing of a broad, sustainable recovery in the homebuilding industry remains uncertain.

New in FY2012

We do not believe that the Section 382 limitation will prevent the Company from using Centex's pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards and built-in losses or deductions.

New in FY2012

On January 10, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau adopted new rules regarding the origination of mortgages, including the criteria for “qualified mortgages”.

New in FY2012

The new rules are scheduled to go into effect in January 2014.

New in FY2012

We are in the process of analyzing the new rules and the impact such rules will have on our business.

New in FY2012

Additionally, many other rules required by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 have not yet been completed or implemented, which has created uncertainty in the overall U.S. financial services and mortgage industries as to their long-term impact.

New in FY2012

In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which could have a negative impact on housing demand.

New in FY2012

Information technology failures or data security breaches could harm our business.

New in FY2012

We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational activities and to maintain our business records.

New in FY2012

Our computer systems, including our back-up systems, are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches (through cyber-attacks from computer hackers and sophisticated organizations), catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes and hurricanes, and usage errors by our associates.

New in FY2012

If our computer systems and our back-up systems are damaged, breached, or cease to function properly, we could suffer interruptions in our operations or unintentionally allow misappropriation of proprietary or confidential information (including information about our homebuyers and business partners), which could require us to incur significant costs to remediate or otherwise resolve these issues.

Dropped from FY2011

The homebuilding industry is currently experiencing an economic down cycle, which has had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Dropped from FY2011

Prior to 2006, land and home prices rose significantly in many of our markets.

Dropped from FY2011

Beginning in early 2007, the availability of certain mortgage financing products became more constrained as the mortgage industry began to more closely scrutinize sub-prime, Alt-A, and other non-conforming mortgage products.

Dropped from FY2011

The limitation may result in a significant portion of Centex’s pre-ownership change NOLs, BILs, and tax credit carryforwards or deductions not being available for our use.

Dropped from FY2011

Our compliance with federal, state, and local laws relating to protection of the environment has had, to date, no material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

281 rewritten, 136 added, 189 removed, 388 unchanged

Rewritten

[removed: During 2011,] [added: While the challenging market conditions experienced in recent years lessened the seasonal variations of our results,] we [added: have] experienced a return to a [removed: somewhat] more traditional demand pattern as new orders were higher in the first half of the year and home closings increased in each quarter throughout the year.

Rewritten

In the [removed: long-term,] [added: long term,] we continue to believe that the national publicly-traded builders will have a competitive advantage over local builders through their ability to leverage economies of [removed: scale,] [added: scale at a local level,] access to more reliable and lower cost financing through the capital markets, ability to control and entitle large land positions, and greater geographic and product diversification.

New in FY2012

In 2012, new home sales in the U.S. increased for the first time since 2005.

New in FY2012

Although this volume remains very low compared to historical levels, the improved environment and our restructuring actions contributed to our return to profitability in 2012 as net new orders, closings, revenues, gross margin, and overhead leverage all improved compared with 2011.

New in FY2012

During the year, our net new orders increased 25% over 2011 from 4% fewer active communities.

New in FY2012

We also generated significant positive operating cash flow, highlighting some of the benefits of our efforts to improve our capital efficiency.

New in FY2012

By using our existing land assets more efficiently, allocating capital more effectively, and controlling unsold ("spec") inventory, we continued to enhance our balance sheet and position the Company to deliver higher long-term returns.

New in FY2012

While the timing of a broad, sustainable recovery in the homebuilding industry remains uncertain, we believe that new home demand is moving along a path toward recovery.

New in FY2012

The value in new housing resulting from affordable prices, low mortgage rates, escalating rents, and more energy-efficient homes is providing consumers with a compelling reason to buy a new home, especially relative to the ever more expensive rental market and the tightened supply of available existing homes.

New in FY2012

In the short term, we believe that 2013 will be a better year for U.S. housing than 2012 in spite of continued high levels of unemployment and related low levels of consumer confidence, a challenging U.S. macroeconomic environment, and potential regulatory reforms that may impact the housing and mortgage industries.

New in FY2012

We continue to focus on our primary operational objectives:

| • | Improving our inventory turns; |

New in FY2012

| • | More effectively allocating the capital invested in our business using a risk-based portfolio approach; |

New in FY2012

| • | Enhancing revenues through more strategic pricing, including establishing clear business models for each of our brands based on systematic, consumer-driven input, optimizing our pricing through the expanded use of options and lot premiums, and lessening our reliance on spec home sales; |

New in FY2012

| • | Reducing our house costs through common house plan management, value-engineering our house plans, and working with suppliers to reduce costs; and |

New in FY2012

| • | Maintaining an efficient overhead structure. |

New in FY2012

Continued focus on these operational objectives, combined with improvements in industry conditions, have resulted in a return to profitability in our homebuilding operations and an increase in profits in our financial services businesses.

New in FY2012

| • | The Homebuilding income (loss) before income taxes included charges related to the following items ($000's omitted): |

New in FY2012

| | $ | 61,053 | | | $ | 301,661 | | | $ | 1,242,678 | |

New in FY2012

Our Homebuilding operating results improved significantly from the losses experienced in 2011 and 2010 as the result of the lower charges listed in the above table, as well as higher revenues, increased gross margins, and improved overhead leverage.

New in FY2012

The increase was attributable to a 7% increase in the average selling price combined with an 8% increase in closings.

New in FY2012

The increase in average selling price reflects an ongoing shift in our revenue mix toward move-up buyers and improved market conditions.

New in FY2012

The increase in closings was realized from 4% fewer active communities and was concentrated primarily in our North and Southwest segments.

New in FY2012

The increase in gross margins was despite increased capitalized interest amortization, which reduced gross margins by 10 basis points and 70 basis points in 2012 and 2011, respectively, as compared with the comparable prior year periods.

New in FY2012

The higher capitalized interest amortization was attributable primarily to debt assumed with our 2009 merger with Centex.

New in FY2012

In order to reduce overhead costs, we have reconfigured our organization in recent years to better align our overhead structure with expected volumes.

New in FY2012

These actions have included consolidating many local divisions along with reducing corporate and support staffing across a number of functions.

New in FY2012

As a result, SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues dropped from 13.2% in 2011 to 11.3% in 2012.

New in FY2012

The gross dollar amount of our SG&A decreased $5.1 million, or 1%, in 2012 compared to 2011 due to this improved overhead leverage, partially offset primarily by higher incentive compensation resulting from our improved operating results.

New in FY2012

| | 2012 | | | | 2011 | | | | 2010 | | |

New in FY2012

Net new orders increased 25% in 2012 compared with 2011 while selling from 4% fewer active communities in 2012 (670 at December 31, 2012).

New in FY2012

The increase in net new orders was broad-based as each of our reportable segments experienced increases during 2012, with the largest increases occurring in our North and Southwest segments.

New in FY2012

The cancellation rate (canceled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) was 15% in 2012 compared to 19% in 2011.

New in FY2012

Ending backlog units, which represent orders for homes that have not yet closed, increased 65% at December 31, 2012 compared with December 31, 2011, due to the increase in net new orders.

New in FY2012

| | | 2012 | | | 2011 | |

New in FY2012

| | | 1,256 | | | 2,862 | |

New in FY2012

The slight decrease in homes in production at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 is the result of a significant reduction in homes unsold to customers ("spec homes"), largely offset by a large increase in the number of sold homes in production.

New in FY2012

Reducing our reliance on sales of spec homes is a component of our strategic pricing and inventory turns objectives, so we focused in 2012 on lowering the overall level of spec home inventory, especially completed specs ("final specs").

New in FY2012

The increase in sold homes in production resulted from the significant increase in net new orders and backlog.

New in FY2012

This trend is consistent with our focus on improving our inventory turns.

| Adjusted home sale gross margin | $ | 950,221 | | | $ | 706,225 | | | $ | 735,937 | |

Dropped from FY2011

On August 18, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Centex through the merger of PulteGroup’s merger subsidiary with and into Centex pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 7, 2009 among PulteGroup, Pi Nevada Building Company, and Centex.

Dropped from FY2011

As a result of the merger, Centex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PulteGroup.

Dropped from FY2011

Accordingly, the results of Centex are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the merger.

Dropped from FY2011

The U.S. housing market and broader economy remain in a period of uncertainty.

Dropped from FY2011

While we have experienced some stabilization in our local markets, homebuilding industry volumes remain at near historically low levels.

Dropped from FY2011

This more stable environment has resulted in a significant reduction in the level of land-related charges recorded during 2011 compared with recent years.

Dropped from FY2011

However, significant short-term uncertainty remains such that we are not anticipating a broad recovery in homebuilding in the near term.

Dropped from FY2011

Factors that are currently impacting the homebuilding industry negatively include:

Dropped from FY2011

| • | High levels of unemployment and associated low levels of consumer confidence; |

Dropped from FY2011

| • | Continued high levels of foreclosure activity; |

Dropped from FY2011

| • | Increased costs and standards related to FHA loans, which are a significant source of customer financing; and |

Dropped from FY2011

| • | Uncertainty regarding the potential impacts of reforms to the overall U.S. financial services and mortgage industries, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted into law on July 21, 2010; potential limitations on the mortgage interest income tax deduction; and potential future restructurings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. |

Dropped from FY2011

While our overall volumes in 2011 were moderately lower than in 2010, the combination of improved gross margins, a more efficient overhead structure, and lower asset impairment charges resulted in a significant improvement in our bottom line results.

Dropped from FY2011

We believe that improved employment levels and consumer confidence are necessary to unlock the pent-up demand that we believe has built up in recent years.

Dropped from FY2011

Accordingly, we continue to operate our business with the expectation that difficult market conditions will continue to impact us for at least the near term while also positioning ourselves to capitalize upon growth when industry conditions improve.

Dropped from FY2011

While we are purchasing land positions where it makes strategic and economic sense to do so, the opportunity to purchase developed lots in premium locations has become more limited and competitive in many of our markets.

Dropped from FY2011

We also continue to evaluate each of our existing land parcels to determine whether the strategy and economics support holding the parcel or disposing of it.

Dropped from FY2011

We have closely evaluated and made significant reductions in employee headcount and overhead expenses since the beginning of the industry downturn, including a further consolidation of our field organization and select corporate functions during 2011.

Dropped from FY2011

Due to the persistence of these difficult market conditions, maintaining an efficient overhead structure will continue to be a significant area of focus.

Dropped from FY2011

We are also adjusting the content in our homes to provide our customers more affordable alternatives and are building homes with smaller floor plans in certain of our communities.

Dropped from FY2011

Our outlook is cautious for 2012 as the timing of a sustainable recovery in the homebuilding industry remains uncertain.

Dropped from FY2011

In the short-term, we expect that market conditions will remain challenging, and our visibility as to future earnings performance is limited.

Dropped from FY2011

Our evaluations for land-related charges recorded to date were based on our best estimates of the future cash flows for our communities.

Dropped from FY2011

If conditions in the homebuilding industry or our local markets worsen in the future, if the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations, or if our strategy related to certain communities changes, we may be required to evaluate our assets for further impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.

Dropped from FY2011

| * | Amounts previously classified as "non-operating" have been reclassified to "Homebuilding" (see to the Consolidated Financial Statements). |

Dropped from FY2011

| • | The losses experienced by Homebuilding in 2011, 2010, and 2009 resulted primarily from significant charges related to the following ($000's omitted): |

Dropped from FY2011

| Merger-related costs (see Note 2) | 1,730 | | | | 4,133 | | | | 72,079 | | |

Dropped from FY2011

| | $ | 303,391 | | | $ | 1,246,811 | | | $ | 1,704,405 | |

Dropped from FY2011

Merger-related costs represent transaction and integration costs resulting directly from the Centex merger.

Dropped from FY2011

In total, Homebuilding incurred $129.1 million of such costs in 2009.

Dropped from FY2011

These costs consisted of $57.0 million of restructuring costs (primarily severance and lease exit costs) included in the above table within restructuring costs plus $72.1 million of investment banking and other professional fees, amortization of certain fair value adjustments, and certain other integration costs.

Dropped from FY2011

In addition to the above charges, Homebuilding continued to experience low volumes in 2009 through 2011.

Dropped from FY2011

The revenue decline for the year ended December 31, 2011 was due in part to the impact of a federal homebuyer tax credit that existed during the first half of 2010 as well as lower average selling prices and fewer active communities in 2011.

Dropped from FY2011

The lower revenue in 2011 and 2010 was partially offset by improved gross margins, reduced overhead costs, and lower impairment charges.

Dropped from FY2011

Centex merger

Dropped from FY2011

As indicated above, the Centex merger had a significant impact on our post-acquisition operating results.

Dropped from FY2011

Centex was consolidated for the full year in our 2011 and 2010 operating results, however, if not for the impact of the Centex merger, our revenues, closings, and net new orders in 2010 would have experienced significant decreases from 2009.

Dropped from FY2011

Our reported home sale revenues, closings, and net new orders for 2010 as reflected in the above tables represent decreases of 19%, 22%, and 28%, respectively, from the combined operating results of the two companies from 2009.

Dropped from FY2011

However, these lower volumes were offset by lower land-related charges, improved gross margins and operating leverage, and our elimination of the substantial majority of duplicative overhead costs from the combined companies.

Dropped from FY2011

Excluding the impact of the goodwill impairments and insurance-related losses recorded in 2010 and 2009, our Homebuilding income (loss) before income taxes in 2010 was significantly improved from the losses reported by either company or the combined companies in 2009.

For reporting purposes, our Homebuilding operations are aggregated into six reportable segments:

New in FY2012

In recent years, the U.S. housing market experienced a significant decline in the demand for new homes as well as a sharp decline in overall residential real estate values.

New in FY2012

In 2012, new home sales in the U.S. increased for the first time since 2005, rising 20% to 367,000 homes.

New in FY2012

However, this improvement was from a very low base as U.S. home sales in 2011 were the lowest since 1962.

New in FY2012

Although current volume remains very low compared to historical levels, the improved environment and our restructuring actions contributed to our return to profitability in 2012.

New in FY2012

| • | More effectively allocating the capital invested in our business using a risk-based portfolio approach; |

New in FY2012

Our Homebuilding operations are geographically diverse within the U.S. As of December 31, 2012, we had 670 active communities.

New in FY2012

Our use of land option agreements reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings.

New in FY2012

While our overall supply of controlled land is in excess of our short-term needs in many of our markets, some of our controlled land consists of long-term positions that will not be converted to home sales in the near term.

New in FY2012

Accordingly, we remain active in our pursuit of new land investment.

New in FY2012

The availability of labor and materials at reasonable prices is becoming an increasing concern for certain trades and building materials in some markets as the supply chain responds to uneven industry growth.

New in FY2012

Additionally, new home sales traditionally represent less than 15% of overall U.S. home sales (new and existing homes).

New in FY2012

If and when the homebuilding industry more fully recovers from the recent downturn, we believe these traditional seasonal patterns will continue.

New in FY2012

Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to supporting our Homebuilding operations, the operating results of our Financial Services operations are highly correlated to Homebuilding.

New in FY2012

Historically, we have not experienced significant claims related to our title operations.

On August 18, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Centex Corporation (“Centex”) through the merger of PulteGroup’s merger subsidiary with and into Centex pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 7, 2009 among PulteGroup, Pi Nevada Building Company, and Centex.

Dropped from FY2011

As a result of the merger, Centex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PulteGroup.

Dropped from FY2011

Accordingly, the results of Centex are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the merger.

Dropped from FY2011

During 2011, we realigned our organizational structure and reportable segment presentation.

Dropped from FY2011

Accordingly, the segment information provided herein has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation for all periods presented.

Dropped from FY2011

Since early 2006, the U.S. housing market has been unfavorably impacted by severe weakness in new home sales attributable to, among other factors, weak consumer confidence, tightened mortgage standards, significant foreclosure activity, a more challenging appraisal environment, increased unemployment levels, and significant uncertainty in the global economy.

Dropped from FY2011

These conditions have contributed to sharply weakened demand for new homes and heightened pricing pressures on new and existing home sales.

Dropped from FY2011

New home sales in the U.S. declined to 302,000 new home sales in 2011, which represents the lowest level since at least 1962 and a decline of approximately 77% from the 2005 peak of 1.3 million new home sales.

Dropped from FY2011

We also significantly curtailed our investments in inventory, implemented a more rigorous risk-based approach to land investment, and liquidated certain of our less strategic land positions.

Dropped from FY2011

We are seeking to better align the size and features of our homes with the current demand environment and achieve significant reductions in house cost by value-engineering our floor plans to improve the efficiency of construction, rebidding supplier contracts and working with suppliers to find cost savings, and focusing on lean production principles.

Dropped from FY2011

In recent years, we generated significant positive cash flow primarily through refunds of income taxes paid in prior years combined with limiting the level of reinvestment into inventory.

Dropped from FY2011

Through the combination of these operational and capital structure activities, we have positioned the company for future profitability, even at the current low industry volumes.

Dropped from FY2011

As of December 31, 2011, our Homebuilding operations offered homes for sale in approximately 700 communities.

Dropped from FY2011

The significant decrease in the average selling price of our homes since 2007 resulted from a combination of pricing pressures due to challenging industry conditions, changes in the geographic mix of homes closed, adjusting our product offerings to better align with current market conditions, and an increase in the mix of entry-level buyers as the result of the Centex merger.

Dropped from FY2011

Our Homebuilding operations are geographically diverse and, as a result, help to insulate us from demand changes in individual markets.

Dropped from FY2011

Since 2006, however, such diversification has not insulated us from demand changes due to the nationwide downturn in the homebuilding industry that has had a significant adverse impact on our operations in each of our markets.

Dropped from FY2011

As a result of the downturn in the homebuilding industry that began in 2006, however, our supply of controlled land is in excess of our short-term needs in many of our markets.

and “in place” communities, for those buyers who prefer to remain in their current geographic area.

Dropped from FY2011

We also use component off-site manufacturing methods for certain portions of the construction process to provide high efficiency, high quality, and lower cost products to our customers.

Dropped from FY2011

While the availability of materials and labor is not a significant concern under current market conditions, we have, on occasion, experienced shortages of skilled labor in certain trades and of building materials in some markets in previous years.

Dropped from FY2011

However, the challenging market conditions experienced since early 2006 have lessened the seasonal variations of our results.

Dropped from FY2011

However, given the current significant uncertainty in the homebuilding industry, we can make no assurances as to when and to what degree our historical seasonality will recur.

Dropped from FY2011

In addition to existing regulations, more stringent requirements could be imposed in the future on homebuilders and developers, thereby increasing the cost of compliance.

Dropped from FY2011

On December 1, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) promulgated new regulations regarding effluent limitation guidelines (“ELG”) for discharges from construction and development sites.

Dropped from FY2011

The new regulations require all construction sites subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System construction storm water permits issued by the EPA or an authorized state to implement certain sediment and erosion controls and pollution prevention measures.

Dropped from FY2011

These regulations also require sampling of storm water discharges and compliance with a numeric effluent limitation of 280 nephelometric turbidity units (“NTUs”) beginning August 1, 2011 for sites disturbing 20 or more acres at once and beginning February 2, 2014 for sites disturbing 10 or more acres at once.

Dropped from FY2011

Effective January 4, 2011, the effluent limitation standard of 280 NTUs has been stayed by the EPA until it can complete a new rulemaking to correct the numeric limitation.

Dropped from FY2011

The numeric limit is the only portion of the new regulations that has been stayed by the EPA.

Dropped from FY2011

The EPA published a Federal Register notice on January 3, 2012 requesting additional data on the performance of technologies in controlling turbidity in stormwater discharges from construction sites.

Dropped from FY2011

Comments will be accepted for sixty days.

Dropped from FY2011

No date has yet been set by EPA for further rulemaking related to ELG.

Dropped from FY2011

In addition to the new ELG regulations, the EPA also announced that it is committed to and has begun a rulemaking to address post-construction storm water discharges from newly developed and redeveloped sites.
