Facility Operator information 1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization, or any other entity that operates the facility or site described in this certification. The name of the operator may or may not be the same as the name of the facility. The operator is the legal entity that controls the facility's operation, rather than the plant or site manager. 2. Provide the telephone number of the facility operator. 3. Provide the mailing address of the operator (P.O. Box numbers may be used). Include the city, state, and zip code. All correspondence will be sent to this address. 4. Indicate whether the industrial facility is operated by a department or agency of the Federal Government (see also Section 313 of the Clean Water Act). 5. Enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the facility or site in degreeslminuteslseconds. Latitude and longitude can be obtained from United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle or topographic maps, by calling 1-(888) ASK-USGS, or by accessing the Census Bureau at: http:llwww.census.gov/cgi-binigazetteer. Latitude and longitude for a facility in decimal form must be converted to degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds O for proper entry on the certification form. To convert decimal latitude or longitude to degreeslminutestseconds, follow the steps in the following example. Example: Convert decimal latitude 45.1234567 to degrees (1), minutes ('), and seconds ('). a) The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the degrees: 450. b) To obtain minutes, multiply the first four numbers to the right of the decimal point by 0.006: 1234 x 0.006 = 7.404. c) The numbers to the left of the decimal point in the result obtained in (b) are the minutes: 'r. d) To obtain seconds, multiply the remaining three numbers to the right of the decimal from the result obtained in (b) by 0.06: 404 x 0,06 = 24.24. Since the numbers to the right of the decimal point are not used, the result is 24. e) The conversion for 45.1234567 = 46, 7' 24'. 6. Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under an NPDES r storm water permit. If so, include the permit number. 7. Enter the 4-digit SIC code which identifies the facility's primary activity, and second 4-digit SIC code identifying the facility's secondary activity, if applicable. SIC codes can be obtained from the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987. 8. Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity in acres. Acreage may be determined by dividing square footage by 43,560, as demonstrated in the following example. Example: Convert 54,450 ft2 to acres Divide 54.450 ft2 by 43,560 square feet per acre: 54,450 ft2 + 43,560 ft2/acre = 1.25 acres. 9. Check "Yes' or "No" as appropriate to indicate whether you have paved or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.e., lawn, meadow, dirt or gravel roadiparking lot) in order to qualify for no exposure. If yes, also indicate approximately how much area was paved or roofed over and is now impervious area.
