What is a SWPPP? Part 2 Taking a Dip in Your SWPPP
Training Modules • What’s the concern? • What is a SWPPP? • Spill prevention & response • Materials Management • Good Housekeeping
What is a SWPPP? • Relation to Clean Water Act & RIPDES • Contents of site-specific SWPPP • Exercise: What do we do outdoors?
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan • Site (Facility) Specific • Facility Staff all have a role in implementation
National Stormwater Discharge Program • Phased approach by EPA • Phase I – 1990 – large cities • Phase II – 1999 – smaller municipalities & “public bodies”
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
General Permit Requirement • Implement a site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) developed for each facility with “industrial” activity
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
