Permit and Outfalls
# Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site?
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection?
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division?
# Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?
Comment: This Dreliminary site visit was to determine my recommendation regarding SW/dewaterin
permit issuance.
I recommend the permit be issued.
