Description
Summary:The new U.S. EPA permitting mechanism (General Permit) required most facilities to develop and implement a stormwater pollution-prevention plan (SWP3). U.S. EPA rules generally prohibited the discharge of process (non-storm) wastewaters through stormwater outfalls and required the facility to certify that there were no interconnections amongst its sewer lines. The SWP3 must include a site map identifying and describing the drainage areas for each stormwater outfall, and a history of spills and leaks and also a summary of the sampling data. At least once a year, facility personnel must inspect and evaluate the facility's compliance with the SWP3 and identify areas where it should be revised. (see also following abstract).
