2 Topics Storm water permits for industries IGP compliance Ohio EPA perspectives CGP compliance The FUTURE…
3 Storm Water NPDES Permits Individual NPDES permit IGP = Industrial General Permit CGP = Construction General Permit
4 Why Storm Water Permit? Initial construction (CGP) Operating facility (IGP) FOCUS Renovations (CGP if ≥ 1 acre) Expansion, demolition NOT A “…[C]learing, grading, FOCUS excavating, grubbing and/or filling activities”
5 What Coverage Do I Need? SIC code in list & exposure… Now what? No Discharge, No Exposure Formal NOI No Permit Certification Needed
6 What’s “No Discharge”? Storm water doesn’t leave property Storm water that is discharged offsite but not to a “WOTUS” (Ohio?) Doesn’t go into an MS4
7 Formal NOI Submitted through STREAM OEPA still processing NOIs from September 2017 Must identify all Outfalls Perfect time to re-evaluate your drainage
8 Re-Evaluate Drainage Identify all drainage locations offsite Discrete point sources Sheet flow sources This not only effects NOI but also SWPPP
9 No Exposure Certification (NEC) Eligible if: There are no industrial materials & activities, or All industrial materials & activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff.
No Exposure Certification Checklist 10 Any “YES” answers to questions below would cause you to not be eligible for NEC! 1. Using, storing or cleaning industrial machinery or equipment, and areas where residuals from using, storing or cleaning industrial machinery or equipment remain and are exposed to storm water 2. Materials or residuals on the ground or in storm water inlets from spills/leaks 3. Materials or products from past industrial activity 4. Material handling equipment (except adequately maintained vehicles) 5. Materials or products during loading/unloading or transporting activities 6. Materials or products stored outdoors (except final products intended for outside use [e.g., new cars] where exposure to storm water does not result in the discharge of pollutants)
No Exposure Certification Checklist 11 Any “YES” answers to questions below would cause you to not be eligible for NEC! 7. Materials contained in open, deteriorated or leaking storage drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers 8. Materials or products handled/stored on roads or railways owned or maintained by the discharger 9. Waste material (except waste in covered, non leaking containers [e.g., dumpsters]) 10.Application or disposal of process wastewater (unless otherwise permitted) 11.Particulate matter or visible deposits of residuals from roof stacks and/or vents not otherwise regulated (i.e., under an air quality control permit) and evident in the storm water outflow
12 No Exposure Certification Checklist NEC removes all sampling, inspection, and plan requirements. But… BE CAREFUL! It can be a double whammy.
13 IGP – How To Comply? Major changes in recent IGP No annual comprehensive inspection Sheet flow outfalls clarified for monitoring Account for run-on & building contributions Alternate benchmarks
14 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) Must be updated within 180 days of renewal (November 28, 2017) Sections to review Narrative description of potential pollutant sources and BMPs Site Location Map Employee contacts are up to date Corrective Actions
15 SWPPP (continued) Narrative Description Additional sheet flow outfalls Pollutants in this area? Are BMPS listed used? If so, are they adequate? If not, what is?
Best Management Practices (BMPs) 16
BMP – Drain Sock Filter 17
BMP - Booms 18
BMP – Hay Bales 19
Green BMPs 20 Constructed Wetlands Pervious Pavement Tree Boxes
21 SWPPP (continued) Make sure map is up to date Identify all outfalls (including sheet flow) Location of all pollutant sources Monitoring locations (if not at outfalls)
22 Corrective Action Triggers Unauthorized release or discharge Violation of numeric effluent limit An inspection finds control measures not properly operated & maintained
