manufacturing or fueling operations I ea- here elitpination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater manage nt n ' 611� x ument the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away o areas o otential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Require Is d ' e` ords Secondary containment is
required for- bulk storage of li d e , storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Super f , A, en ents and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; ' stogy any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent a s 'lls stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all c ,ja < , stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areab tained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected to st wate veyance systems, the connection shall be controlled
by manually ivated Ives or other similar devices (which shall be secured
closed with aalo echanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment a all be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time
of the release shall be kept for a period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non - structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated

Part 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No NCS000554
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,
but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas,

7 Plan Amendment The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual
basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of
pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The
annual update shall include written re- certification that the stormwater outfalls have been
evaluated for the presence of non - stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall
include a documented re- evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP
Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan.
