STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS

Posted on May 25, 2010 by BradKorth

Question:As an Auto Recycler is a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) required?

Answer:The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP) issues a General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity in accordance with U.S. EPA guidelines.  Any facility with a Standard Industrial Code (SIC) detailed in this General Permit is automatically included in the program.  Auto Recyclers have an applicable SIC code.  Two (2) options are regulatory available:

 

a) Prepare a SWPPP for your site in accordance with the CT DEP Stormwater General Permit.  Note: Permits must be certified by a Professional Engineer (P.E.) or Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) and revised whenever the CT DEP issues a new General Permit which is typically every 5 years).  OR

  

b) Demonstrate with a “No Exposure Certification” that a SWPPP is not applicable to the facility.

 

Question:How does a facility demonstrate that there is No Stormwater Exposure?

 

Answer:  A CT DEP No Exposure Certification form (DEP-PERD-REG-014NE) form must be completed.  In order to utilize this form all answers detailed in “Part V: Exposure Checklist” must be able to be checked as “No”.  An excerpt of “Part V:” from this checklist is detailed below.

 

Note: The complete No Exposure Certification Form is available from the CT DEP Website at (http://www.ct.gov/dep/site/default.asp) under “Water Discharge Permits and General Permits” in the permit type “Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities” then under Common Forms.

INITIAL & ANNUAL CHEMICAL REPORTING

Posted on February 20, 2010 by BradKorth

WHAT ARE MY REQUIREMENTS AND WHEN?

Question: Why is Initial and Annual Reporting of Chemicals Required?

Answer: Reporting includes the Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) which is typically the local Fire Department who are the First Responders if there is an on-site incident.  Reporting is required so that the LEPC is aware of the type of dangers present at the site.

Question: As an Auto Recycler what types of Chemicals May Require Reporting?

Answer: Typical Chemicals associated with Auto Recyclers’ which Require Reporting include:

  • Oil (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,320 gallons)
  • Antifreeze (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,100 gallons)
  • Gasoline (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,600 gallons)
  • Diesel Fuel (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,400 gallons)
  • Sulfuric Acid (stored in excess of 500 lbs, approx. 100 batteries)
  • Lead (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 500 batteries)

Note: Reporting is based on the maximum quantity of the particular chemical stored on-site at any time during the calendar year.  Hence typically a good guideline to utilize is the “Potential” on-site storage capacity for that particular chemical.

 Question & Answer: When is Chemical Reporting Required?

  •  Initial Reporting: Whenever Maximum Quantity of a Particular Chemical is Stored on-site
  • Annual Reporting: By March 1st of the particular Calendar Year

Question: What are the Potential Penalties for Not performing Labeling & Reporting?

Answer: There is the potential of monetary fines from Regulatory Agencies if discovered during an Inspection.  However the most significant concern is Civil and/or Criminal Liability associated with an on-site Incident!
