Requires the Administrator to coordinate enforcement of stormwater discharge permits with states.

Prohibits the Administrator from paying any state penalty for a violation of a permit for such a discharge.

Requires the Administrator to establish a program that will develop and distribute to site operators a pamphlet that explains permitting requirements for stormwater discharges.
