  1. What is a SWPPP? Part 2 Taking a Dip in Your SWPPP

  2. Training Modules • What’s the concern?  • What is a SWPPP? • Spill prevention & response • Materials Management • Good Housekeeping

  3. What is a SWPPP? • Relation to Clean Water Act & RIPDES • Contents of site-specific SWPPP • Exercise: What do we do outdoors?

  4. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan • Site (Facility) Specific • Facility Staff all have a role in implementation

  5. National Stormwater Discharge Program • Phased approach by EPA • Phase I – 1990 – large cities • Phase II – 1999 – smaller municipalities & “public bodies”

  6. Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activity (Multi-Sector) Storm Water Discharge fromSmall Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) GENERAL PERMITSunderRhode Island Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

  7. General Permit Requirement • Implement a site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) developed for each facility with “industrial” activity

  8. Facility Associated with a MS4 Section IV.B.6.b.5. of MS4 General Permit (Good Housekeeping) Multi-Sector Section IV of Multi-Sector General Permit SWPPP requirements

  9. SWPPP Contents • Site-specific • Describe BMPs (Best Management Practices) • Structural and non-structural controls for reducing or eliminating discharge of pollutants from operations and facilities • Storm water-related: Outdoors

  10. SWPPP must describeCOORDINATOR • Individual responsible for coordinating and implementing practices, inspections, evaluations and updates

  11. SWPPP must describeFACILITY • Address • Number of acres • Size of impervious areas • Number of buildings & what used for • Number & types of vehicles • Number & location of outfalls • Number & location of catch basins

  12. SWPPP must describe“EXPOSED” ACTIVITIES • Past spills/chronic leaks • Handling materials & wastes • Fueling, washing, maintaining equipment • Underground & above ground storage • “Allowable non-storm water discharges”

  13. SWPPP must includeSITE MAP • Location of buildings, storage areas & activities • Location of drainage system, including BMPs • Location of onflows of runoff from adjacent properties • Receiving waters

  14. SWPPP must describeMATERIALS & ACTIVITIES • Assessment of potential of each to contribute pollutants to storm water discharges

  15. Good housekeeping practices Preventive maintenance Existing/planned BMPs for activities How salt/sand piles are stored Operating procedures re. fuels Vehicle maintenance operations Erosion controls Other runoff management practices Spill prevention & response procedures Employee training SWPPP must describePRACTICES TO CONTROL POLLUTANTS

  16. SWPPP must describe PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE • Visual monitoring • Annual site inspections • Record keeping & reporting

  17. SWPPP must be AMENDED • as operations/materials/practices change

  18. Typical Table of Contents • INTRODUCTION • MAINTENANCE OF THE PLAN • RISK IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT/ MATERIAL INVENTORY • STORM WATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS • COMPREHENSIVE SITE COMPLIANCE EVALUATIONS • CERTIFICATION

  19. Public Works Facility Operations & Maintenance for Stormwater Management: Employee Training Brought to you by: This program was developed by the Southern Rhode Island Conservation District in partnership with the URI Cooperative Extension RI NEMO Program and the Rhode Island T2 Center. Funding was provided by the RI Department of Environmental Management and the RI Department of Transportation under the Phase II Stormwater Education and Outreach Program.
