BMP Selection and Plan Design
To satisfy the requirements of this phase, a narrative description of the BMPs must be provided. At a
minimum, this plan must incorporate the following eight "baseline" BMPs: (A) good housekeeping, (B)
preventive maintenance, (C) visual inspections, (D) spill prevention and response, (E) sediment and
erosion prevention, (h) traditional storm water management practices, (G) other BMPs as appropriate, (I�
employee training, and (1) recordkeeping and reporting.
Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work environment. Often the
most effective first step toward preventing pollution in storm water from industrial sites involves merely
using good common sense to improve the facility's basic housekeeping methods. The following are some
simple procedures that a facility can consider incorporating into an effective good housekeeping program:
• Improve operation and maintenance of industrial machinery and processes.
o At the Greenville facility the integrity of process piping, valves, filters and gauges will be
monitored and we will maintain farm equipment in a manner that reduces the potential of
SLoiinwalet coiilaliiiiiation.
• Implement careful material storage practices.
o Only empty cylinders are stored out of doors; any full or partial cylinders are stored on a
concrete pad under a roof. Drums of liquid adhesive are stored on a concrete pad under a
roof. Empty drums are stored outside while awaiting pickup for disposal.
• Maintain up-to-date material inventory.
o Identify all chemical substances present in the workplace.
■ Kept current on a daily basis
o Label all containers showing name and type of substance.
® Regulated, compliance ensured
• Schedule routine cleanup operations.
o Trash picked up daily and emptied weekly, or as needed.
• Maintain well -organized work areas.
a Train employees about good housekeeping practices.
o Reiterated and reinforced occasionally during safety walk-through

Preventive Maintenance
We must develop a preventive maintenance program that involves routine inspections of facility
operations to detect faulty equipment. Equipment (such as tanks, containers, and drums) should be
checked regularly for signs of deterioration.
Because we handle EPCRA Section 313 water priority chemicals we must consider and inspect for the
following situations:
• Leaks or conditions that would lead to discharges of Section 313 water priority chemicals.
• Conditions that could lead to direct contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate
materials, waste materials or products.
Piping, pumps, storage tanks, pressure vessels, process and material handling equipment, and
material bulk storage areas for leaks, wind blowing, corrosion, support or foundation failure, or
other deterioration or non -containment.
Visual Impenions
Regular visual inspections are the means by which we can ensure that all the elements of the plan are in
place and working properly to prevent pollution of storm water runoff from our facility. The following
should be considered when conducting visual inspections:
• Designate qualified, trained plant personnel to regularly inspect the facility's equipment and areas,
track results of inspections, make necessary changes, and maintain records of all inspections.
o Plant personnel are assigned to conduct daily, weekly, monthly inspections of facility,
grounds, equipment and process piping system
• Ensure that inspection records note when inspections were done, who conducted the inspection,
what areas were inspected, what problems were found, and what steps were taken to correct any
problems.
o Current procedures fulfill this requirement
These records should be kept with the plan. EPA's general permit requires that records be kept until at
least one year after coverage under the permit expires.
Spill Prevention and Response
Areas where spills are likely to occur and their drainage points must be clearly identified in the SWPPP.
Ensure that employees are aware of response procedures, including material handling and storage
requirements. Also ensure that there is access to appropriate spill cleanup equipment.
Spill Prevention Plan Considerations:

• Adopt good housekeeping practices.
o Reinforced by management and accomplished by each area.
• Perform regular visual inspections to identify areas for potential leaks or spills.
o Covered process inspections conducted by Fill Station Supervisor
o Bulk facility inspections conducted by Operations Manager
• Recycle, reduce, and reuse process materials to minimize waste onsite.
o Inventory control is incorporated as one of the BMPs
• Maintain spill response kits in chemical handling areas.
o A kit is located in each fill station
• Identify safety measures.
o SOPs contain safety procedures for maintainu g chemical security
• Include procedures for notifying appropriate authorities (police, fire, hospital, etc.) in the event of
a spill.
o Contained in the facility's Emergency Action Plan (EHS 005)
• Describe spill containment, diversion, isolation, and cleanup practices.
o Contained in the facility's SPCC (EHS 005-2)
When a leak or spill of a Section 313 water priority chemical has occurred, the contaminated soil, material,
or debris must be removed promptly and disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local
requirements. It is also required to designate a person responsible for spill prevention, response, and
reporting procedures.
Methyl Bromide is the only water priority chemical we use at this location. The Emergency
Coordinator (EC) is responsible for spill prevention, response, and reporting procedures. The list
of Emergency Coordinators is located on page 4 of EHS 005.
Sediment and Erosion Control
This plan must identify activities that present a potential for significant soil erosion and measures taken to
control such erosion.
There are no activities at this facility that present a potential for significant soil erosion.

Management of Runoff
Existing storm water controls must be described in the plan. Additionally, other measures that can be
implemented to improve the prevention and control of polluted storm water should be described.
Examples include: vegetative swales, reuse of collected storm water, infiltration trenches, and detention
ponds.
The Greenville facility discharges its storm water by means of three outfalls (N-001, N-002, N-
003) located at the northwest, north central, and northeast portions of the property. Storm water
is routed to these outfalls by means of normal ground features and is directed off site via in -
ground storm water drains.

Supplemental Information Required for Renewal of Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit
Item S. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted
facility. Significant changes could include the addition of deletion of work processes, changes in material
handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or changes in the raw materials used by
the facility.
Response:
Since this permit was issued, the facility has had several upgrades/improvements to its infrastructure,
i.e., the addition of five additional scales in the filling stations, an ISO loading/unloading pad, as well as
two bulk storage tanks w/containment. These improvements have been identified on the attached site
map.
No other changes have occurred in the last few years. There have been no new raw materials, handling
practices, or material storage practices.

1. BMP Selection and Plan Design
To satisfy the requirements of this phase, a narrative description of the BMPs must be provided. At a
minimum, this plan must incorporate the following eight "baseline" BMPs: (A) good housekeeping, (B)
preventive maintenance, (C) visual inspections, (D) spill prevention and response, (E) sediment and
erosion prevention, (F) traditional storm water management practices, (G) other BMPs as appropriate, (I�
employee training, and (I) recordkeeping and reporting.
Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work environment. Often the
most effective first step toward preventing pollution in storm water from industrial sites involves merely
using good common sense to improve the facility's basic housekeeping methods. The following are some
simple procedures that a facility can consider incorporating into an effective good housekeeping program:
• Improve operation and maintenance of industrial machinery and processes.
o At the Greenville facility the integrity of process piping, valves, filters and gauges will be
monitored and we will maintain farm equipment in a manner that reduces the potential of
stortuwater contamination.
• Implement careful material storage practices.
o Only empty cylinders are stored out of doors; any full or partial cylinders are stored on a
concrete pad under a roof. Drums of liquid adhesive are stored on a concrete pad under a
roof. Empty drums are stored outside while awaiting pickup for disposal.
• Maintain up-to-date material inventory.
o Identify all chemical substances present in the workplace.
■ Kept current on a daily basis
o Label all containers showing name and type of substance.
■ Regulated, compliance ensured
® Schedule routine cleanup operations.
o Trash picked up daily and emptied weekly, or as needed.
e Maintain well -organized work areas.
• Train employees about good housekeeping practices.
o Reiterated and reinforced occasionally during safety walk-through

Preventive Maintenance
We must develop a preventive maintenance program that involves routine inspections of facility
operations to detect faulty equipment. Equipment (such as tanks, containers, and drums) should be
checked regularly for signs of deterioration.
Because we handle EPCRA Section 313 water priority chemicals we must consider and inspect for the
following situations:
• Leaks or conditions that would lead to discharges of Section 313 water priority chemicals.
• Conditions that could lead to direct contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate
materials, waste materials or products.
• Piping, pumps, storage tanks, pressure vessels, process and material handling equipment, and
material bulk storage areas for leaks, wind blowing, corrosion, support or foundation failure, or
other deterioration or non -containment.
Visualln. peaions
Regular visual inspections are the means by which we can ensure that all the elements of the plan are in
place and working properly to prevent pollution of storm water runoff from our facility. The following
should be considered when conducting visual inspections:
• Designate qualified, trained plant personnel to regularly inspect the facility's equipment and areas,
track results of inspections, make necessary changes, and maintain records of all inspections.
o Plant personnel are assigned to conduct daily, weekly, monthly inspections of facility,
grounds, equipment and process piping system
• Ensure that inspection records note when inspections were done, who conducted the inspection,
what areas were inspected, what problems were found, and what steps were taken to correct any
problems.
o Current procedures fulfill this requirement
These records should be kept with the plan. EPA's general permit requires that records be kept until at
least one year after coverage under the permit expires.
Spill Prevention and Response
Areas where spills are likely to occur and their drainage points must be clearly identified in the SWPPP.
Ensure that employees are aware of response procedures, including material handling and storage
requirements. Also ensure that there is access to appropriate spill cleanup equipment.
Spill Prevention Plan Considerations:

Supplemental Information Required for Renewal of Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit
Item S. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted
facility. Significant changes could include the addition of deletion of work processes, changes in material
handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or changes in the raw materials used by
the facility.
Response:
Since this permit was issued, the facility has had several upgrades/improvements to its infrastructure,
i.e., the addition of five additional scales in the filling stations, an ISO loading/unloading pad, as well as
two bulk storage tanks w/containment. These improvements have been identified on the attached site
map.
No other changes have occurred in the last few years. There have been no new raw materials, handling
practices, or material storage practices.
