See the "Instructions" inside for further details. - a Paperwork Reduction Act Notice The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates the average burden to collect and complete Form 2F to be 28.1 hours. The estimate includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the needed data, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments about the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Chief, Information Policy Branch (PM-223), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460, and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17'h Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503, marked "Attention: Desk Officer for EPA." FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions Who Must Complete Form 2F? You must complete Form 2F if you answered "Yes" to Item 1.2.5 on Form 1—that is, you are a new or existing facility and your discharge is composed entirely of stormwater associated with industrial activity (excluding discharges from construction activity under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) or (b)(15)) orcomposed of stormwater and non-stormwater and are seeking coverage under an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Note that applicants in the latter category must also complete Forms 2C, 2D, or 2E, as applicable. See inset below. Notes • Form 2F must be completed by any operator of a facility that discharges stormwater associated with industrial activity or the operator of any stormwater discharger that EPA is evaluating for designation as a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the United States, or as contributing to a violation of a water quality standard. • For discharges composed entirely of stormwater, the operator must complete Form 2F in conjunction with Form 1. • For discharges of stormwater combined with process wastewater, the operator must complete and submit Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2C. Process wastewater is water that comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, waste product, or wastewater. • For discharges of stormwater combined with nonprocess wastewater, the operator must complete Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2E. Nonprocess wastewater includes noncontact cooling water and sanitary wastes that are not regulated by effluent guidelines, except discharges by educational, medical, or commercial chemical laboratories. • For new discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity that will be combined with other new non-stormwater discharges, the operator must submit Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2D. Where to File Your Completed Form Submit your completed application package (Forms 1 and 2F plus any other applicable forms) to your NPDES permitting authority. Consult Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" to identify your NPDES permitting authority. Public Availability of Submitted Information The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will make information from NPDES permit application forms available to the public for inspection and copying upon request. You may not claim any information on Form 2F (or related attachments) as confidential. You may make a claim of confidentiality for any information that you submit to EPA that goes beyond the information required by Form 2F. Note that NPDES permitting authorities will deny claims for treating any effluent data (estimated or actual) as confidential. If you do not assert a claim of confidentiality at the time you submit your information to the NPDES permitting authority, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you. EPA will handle claims of confidentiality in accordance with the Agency's business confidentiality regulations in Part 2 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Completion of Forms Print or type in the specified areas only. If you do not have enough space on the form to answer a question, you may continue on additional sheets, as necessary, using a format consistent with the form. Provide your EPA Identification Number from the Facility Registry Service, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of each page of Form 2F and any attachments. If your facility is new (i.e., not yet constructed), write or type "New Facility" in the space provided for the EPA Identification Number an NPDES permit number. If you do not know your EPA Identification Number, contact your NPDES permitting authority. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" for contact information. Additionally, for Tables A through D, provide the applicable outfall number at the top of each page. Do not leave any response areas blank unless the form directs you to skip them. If the form directs you to respond to an item that does not apply to your facility or activity, enter "NA" for "not applicable" to show that you considered the item and determined a response was not necessary for your facility. The NPDES permitting authority will consider your application complete when it and any supplementary material are received and completed according to the authority's satisfaction. The NPDES permitting authority will judge the completeness of any application independently of the status of any other permit application or permit for the same facility or activity.

Provide an estimate of the impervious surface area drained by the outall. Specify units of measure. (Impervious surfaces are surfaces where stormwater runs off at rates significantly higher than background rates—e.g., predevelopment levels. They include paved areas, building roofs, parking lots, and roadways.) Provide an estimate of the total surface area (impervious and pervious areas) drained by each ouffall (within a mile radius of the facility). You may use the site map developed under Item 3.1 to estimate the total area drained by each outall. For areas under 5 acres, consult your NPDES permitting authority to determine whether the area should be reported to the nearest tenth of an acre or nearest quarter of an acre. Item 4.2. Provide a narrative description of the following • Significant materials that in three years prior to the submittal of this application have been treated, stored, or disposed of in a manner to allow exposure to stormwater. • Method of treatment, storage, or disposal of such materials. • Materials management practices employed, in the three years prior to the submittal of this application, to minimize contact by these materials with stormwater runoff. • Materials loading and access areas. • The location, manner, and frequency in which pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, and fertilizers are applied. You should identify your significant materials by chemical name, 2F-2 FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED form (e.g., powder, liquid, etc.), and type of container or treatment unit.

Answer whether you are a new source or new discharge. Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine if you are a new source or new discharge. Tables A, B, C, and D Items 7.2 to 7.17. These items require you to collect and report data in Tables A through D, at the end of Form 2F, for the parameters and pollutants listed in Exhibits 217-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 (at the end of the instructions). The instructions for completing Tables A through D are table -specific, as are the criteria for determining who should complete them. Important note: Read the "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" below before completing Items 7.2 to 7.17. Item 7.2 and Table A. All applicants must complete Table A. If the discharge is an existing discharge and your discharge is composed exclusively of stormwater (i.e., no process or nonprocess wastewater) then you only need to provide monitoring data for oil and grease, total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and total nitrogen. Indicate "NA" for "not applicable" in the columns for all other parameters. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.2 once you have completed this task. Item 7.3 and Table B. Indicate whether the facility is subject to an effluent limitations guideline (ELG) (see 40 CFR Subchapter N to determine which pollutants are limited in ELGs) or if the facility is subject to effluent limitations in an NPDES permit for its process wastewater or stormwater (if the facility is operating under an existing NPDES permit). If yes, continue to Item 7.4. If no, skip to Item 7.5. Note: Stormwater discharges from certain industrial sources or activities have specific ELGs for which they must comply. These stormwater-specific ELGs include: Regulated Discharge 40 CFR Section Discharges resulting from spraydown or intentional Part 429, Subpart I wetting of logs at wet deck storage areas Runoff from phosphate fertilizer manufacturing facilities Part 418, Subpart A that comes into contact with any raw materials, finished product, byproducts or waste products (SIC 2874) Runoff from asphalt emulsion facilities Part 443, Subpart A Runoff from material storage piles at cement Part 411, Subpart C manufacturing facilties Mine dewatering discharges at crushed stone, Part 436, Subparts B, construction sand and gravel, or industrial sand mining C, and D facilities Runoff from hazardous waste and non -hazardous waste Part 445, Subparts A landfills and B Runoff from coal storage piles at steam electric Part 423 generating facilities Runoff containing urea from airfield pavement deicing at Part 449 existing and new primary airports with 1,000 or more annual non -propeller aircraft departures Item 7.4.

If a pollutant in Exhibits 2F-2 or 2F-3 is indirectly limited by an ELG through an indicator (e.g., use of total suspended solids as an indicator to control the discharge of iron and aluminum), you must provide data for the pollutant in Table B. Complete one table for each outfall. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.4 once you have completed this task. 2F-3 FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Item 7.5 and Table C. Table C requires you to address the pollutants in Exhibits 2F-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 for each outfall. Pollutants in each of these exhibits are addressed differently. Indicate whether you know or have reason to believe any pollutants in Exhibit 2F-2 are present in the discharge. If yes, continue to Item 7.6. If no, skip to Item 7.7. Item 7.6. For each ouffall, list all pollutants in Exhibit 2F-2 that you know or have reason to believe are present in the discharge in Table C (except pollutants previously listed in Table B that are limited directly or indirectly by an ELG) and either report quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Answer Yes" to Item 7.6 once you have completed this task. Item 7.7. This item asks if you qualify as a "small business." If so, you are exempt from the reporting requirements for the organic toxic pollutants listed in Exhibit 2F-3. You can qualify as a small business in two ways: (1) If your facility is a coal mine and if your probable total annual production is less than 100,000 tons per year, you may submit past production data or estimated future production (such as a schedule of estimated total production under 30 CFR 795.14(c)) instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants; (2) If your facility is not a coal mine and if your gross total annual sales for the most recent three years average less than $100,000 per year (in second quarter 1980 dollars), you may submit sales data for those years instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. The production or sales data must be for the facility that is the source of the discharge. The data should not be limited to production or sales for the process or processes that contribute to the discharge, unless those are the only processes at your facility. For sales data, in situations involving infra -corporate transfer of goods and services, the transfer price per unit should approximate market prices for those goods and services as closely as possible. Sales figures for years after 1980 should be indexed to the second quarter of 1980 by using the gross national product price deflator (second quarter of 1980 =100). This index is available online from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis at hfto://www.bea.ciovinafional/pdf/SNTables.pd. If you qualify as a small business according to the criteria above, answer "Yes" to Item 7.7 and skip to Item 7.18.Otherwise, answer "No" and continue to Item 7.8. Item 7.8. Indicate whether you know or have reason to believe any pollutants in Exhibit 2F-3 are present in the discharge. If yes, continue to Item 7.9. If no, skip to Item 7.10. Item 7.9. For each outfall, list all pollutants in Exhibit 2F-3 that you know or have reason to believe are present in the discharge in Table C (except pollutants previously listed in Table B). Answer "Yes" to Item 7.9 once you have completed this task. Item 7.10. Indicate whether you expect any of the pollutants from Exhibit 2F-3 to be discharged in concentrations of 10 parts per billion (ppb) or greater. If yes, continue to Item 7.11. If no, skip to Item 7.12. Item 7.11. Provide quantitative data in Table C for those pollutants in Exhibit 2F-3 that you expect to be discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater (provide actual data for existing dischargers and estimated data for new sources and new dischargers). Answer "Yes" to Item 7.11 once you have completed this task. Item 7.12. Indicate whether you expect acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4- dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol to be discharged in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. If yes, continue to Item 7.13. If no, skip to Item 7.14. Item 7.13. Provide quantitative data in Table C for the pollutants identified in Item 7.12 that you expect to be discharged in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater (provide actual data for existing dischargers and estimated data for new sources and new dischargers). Answer "Yes" to Item 7.13 once you have completed this task. Item 7.14. For any pollutants you expect to be present in the discharge at concentrations less than 10 ppb (or less than 100 ppb for the above four pollutants), either submit quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged in Table C. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.14 once you have completed this task. Rem 7.15. Indicate whether you know or have reason to believe any pollutants in Exhibit 2F4 are present in the discharge. If yes, continue to Item 7.16. If no, skip to Item 7.17. Item 7.16. For each ouffall, list any pollutant in Exhibit 2F-4 that you know or believe to be present in the discharge in Table C and explain why you believe it to be present. No analysis is required, but if you have analytical data, you must report it. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.16 once you have completed this task. Note: Under40 CFR 117.12(a)(2), certain discharges of hazardous substances (listed in Exhibit 2F5) may be exempted from the requirements of CWA section 311, which establishes reporting requirements, WI penalties, and liability for cleanup costs for spills of oil and hazardous substances. A discharge of a particular substance can be exempted if the origin, source, and amount of the discharged substances are identified in the NPDES permit application or in the permit, if the permit contains a requirement for treatment of the discharge, and if the treatment is in place. If you would Ike to apply for an exemption from the requirements of CWA Section 311. attach additional sheets of paper to your application, setting forth the following information: 1. The substance and the amount of each substance that might be discharged. 2. The origin and source of the discharge of the substance. 3. The treatment to be provided for the discharge by: a. An onsile treatment system separate from any treatment system treating your normal discharge; b. A treatment system designed to treat your normal discharge and that is additionally capable of treating the amount of the substance identified under paragraph 1 above; or c. Any combination of the above. See 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2) and (c) or contact your NPDES pernitting authority for further information on exclusions from CWA section 311. Item 7.17 and Table D. Provide data for the storm event(s) that resulted in the maximum daily discharges for the flow weighted composite sample in Table D. If sampling is conducted during more than one storm event, you only need to report the information 2F-4 FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED requested on Table D for the storm event(s) that resulted in any maximum pollutant concentration reported on Tables A through C. Provide flow measurements or estimates of the flow rate, as well as the total amount of discharge for the storm event(s) sampled, the method of flow measurement, or estimation. Provide the data and duration of the storm event(s) sampled, rainfall measurements, or estimates of the storm event that generated the sampled runoff and the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.17 once you have completed this task. Used or Manufactured Toxics Item 7.18. Review Exhibits 2F-2 through 2F-4 and determine if you currently use or manufacture any of the pollutants listed as intermediate or final products or byproducts. If so, answer "Yes." You should also answer "Yes" if you know or have reason to believe that 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is discharged or if you use or manufacture 2,4,5-tdchlorphenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T); 2-(2,4,5-tdchlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (Silvex, 2,4,5-TP); 2-(2,4,5-tdchlorophenoxy) ethyl, 2,2- dichloropropionate (Erbon); 0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-bichlorphenyl) phosphorothioate (Ronnel); 2,4,5-tdchlorophenol (TCP); or hexachlorophene (HCP). If your answer to Item 7.18 is "No," skip to Section 8. Item 7.19. List all of the toxic pollutants identified under Item 7.18, including TCDD. Note that the NPDES permitting authority may waive or modify the requirement if you demonstrate that it would be unduly burdensome to identify each toxic pollutant and the NPDES permitting authority has adequate information to issue your permit.

General Items Complete the applicable tables for each outfall at your facility. Be sure to note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, facility name, and applicable outfall number at the top of each table page and any associated attachments. You may report some or all of the required data by attaching separate sheets of paper instead of completing Tables A through C for each of your outfalls so long as the sheets contain all of the required information and are similar in format to Tables A through C. For example, you may be able to print a report in a compatible format from the data system used in your gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis completed under Table B. If you are an existing discharger, you are required to report actual quantitative data. See "Use of Historic Data" below for use of historic data. If you are a new source or discharge, you may supply estimated data along with the source of each estimate. If you have quantitative data available, however, you must provide it. Base estimates on available, in-house or contractor engineering reports, or any other studies performed on the proposed facility. Use the following codes to report your source information in the "Source of Information" column: Data Source Code 1 -Engineeringreports Actual data from pilot plants 1 Estimates from other engineering reports 2 Data from other similar plants 3 Best professional estimates 4 Others 5 and specify on the table No later than 24 months after your facility commences to discharge, you must complete and submit sampling and analysis data for the pollutants and parameters in Tables A through C. However, you need not report results for tests you have already performed and reported under the discharge monitoring requirements of your NPDES permit. Table A requires you to report at least one analysis for each pollutant listed. Tables B and C require you to report analytical data in two ways. For some pollutants addressed in Tables B and C, if you know or have reason to know that the pollutant is present in your discharge, you may be required to list the pollutant and test (sample and analyze) and report the levels of the pollutants in your discharge. For all other pollutants addressed in Tables B and C, you must list the pollutant if you know or have reason to know that the pollutant is present in the discharge, and either report quantitative data for the pollutant or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. (See Items 7.2 through 7.17 of the instructions for completing Tables A through C.). Base your determination that a pollutant islw➢il be present in your discharge on your knowledge of the facility's raw materials, material management practices, maintenance chemicals, history of spills and releases, intermediate and final products and byproducts, and any previous analyses known to you of your effluent or similar effluent. Sampling The collection of the samples for the reported analyses should be supervised by a person experienced in performing sampling of industrial wastewater or stormwater discharges. You may contact your NPDES permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling techniques and for answers to specific questions. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1 for contact information. Any specific requirements in the analytical methods for example, sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, and the collection of duplicate samples —must be followed. The time when you sample should be representative of your normal operation, to the extent feasible, with all processes that contribute wastewater in normal operation, and with your treatment system operating properly with no system upsets. Collect samples from the center of the flow channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site specified in your present NPDES permit, or at any site adequate for the collection of a representative sample. Grab samples must be taken in the first 30 minutes of discharge (or as soon thereafter as practicable) for pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual chlorine, oil and grease, fecal coliform (including E. colt) and enterococci (previously known as fecal streptococcus at 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(iii)(A)(3)), and volatile organic compounds. You are not required to analyze a flow -weighted composite for these parameters. For all other pollutants, both a grab sample collected during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge and a flow -weighted composite sample must be analyzed. However, a minimum of one grab sample may be taken for effluents from holding ponds or other impoundments with a retention period of greater than 24 hours. All samples must be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches and at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. Where feasible, the variance in the duration of the event and the total rainfall of the event should not exceed 50 percent from the average or median rainfall event in that area. A grab sample must be taken during the first 30 minutes of the discharge (or as soon thereafter as practicable), and a flow - weighted composite must be taken for the entire event or for the first three hours of the event. Grab and composite samples are defined as follows: Grab sample: An individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge. This sample is to be analyzed separately from the composite sample. Flow -weighted composite sample: A flow -weighted composite sample may be taken with a continuous sampler that proportions the amount of sample collected with the flow rate or as a combination of a minimum of three sample aliquots taken in each hour of discharge 2F-6 I General Instructions for Rersortina. Samnlina. and Analysis Continued I for the entire event or for the first three hours of the event, with each aliquot being at least 100 milliliters and collected with a minimum period of 15 minutes between aliquot collections. The composite must be flow proportional; the time interval between either each aliquot or the volume of each aliquot must be proportional to either the stream (effluent) flow at the time of sampling or the total stream (effluent) flow since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be collected manually or automatically. Where GC/MS volatile organic analysis is required, aliquots must be combined in the laboratory immediately before analysis. Only one analysis for the composite sample is required. Use of Historical Data Existing data may be used, if available, in lieu of sampling conducted solely for the purposes of this application, provided it is representative of the present discharge and was collected within 3 years of the application due date. If you sample for a listed pollutant on a monthly or more frequent basis, summarize the data collected within one year of the application for the pollutant(s) at issue. Among the factors that would cause the data to be unrepresentative are significant changes in production level; changes in raw materials, processes, or final products; and changes in stormwater treatment. The NPDES permitting authority may request additional information, including current quantitative data, if they determine it to be necessary to assess your discharges. The NPDES permitting authority may allow or establish appropriate site -specific sampling procedures or requirements including sampling locations, the season in which the sampling takes place, the minimum duration between the previous measurable storm event and the storm event sampled, the minimum or maximum level of precipitation required for an appropriate storm event, the form of precipitation sampled (snow melt or rainfall), protocols for collecting samples under 40 CFR 136, and additional time for submitting data on a case -by -case basis. Reporting Report sampling results for all pollutants in Tables A through C as concentration and mass, with the exception of flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms. Flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms must be reported as million gallons per day (mgd), degrees Celsius (°C), standard units, color units, and most probable number per 100 milliliters (MPN1100 mQ, respectively. Use the following abbreviations in the columns requiring "units" in Tables A through C. Concentration Mass m = parts permillion Ibs = pounds 1L = milligrams per liter ton = tons (English tons b = parts per billion mg = milligrams 1L = micrograms per liter g = grams MPN = most probable number per 100 milliliters kg = kilograms T = tonnes metric tons All reporting of values for metals must be in terms of "total recoverable metal" unless: • An applicable, promulgated ELG specifies the limitation for the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form; • All approved analytical methods for the metal inherently measure only its dissolved form (e.g., hexavalent chromium); or • The NPDES permitting authority has determined that in establishing case -by -case limitations it is necessary to express the limitations of the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form to cant' out the provisions of the CWA. If you measure only one grab sample and one flow -weighted composite sample for a given outfall, complete only the "Maximum Daily Discharge" columns in the tables and enter 01" in the "Number of Storm Events Sampled" column. The NPDES permitting authority may require you to conduct additional analyses to further characterize your discharges. If you measure more than one value for a grab sample or a flow - weighted composite sample for a given outfall and those values are representative of your discharge, you must report them. You must describe your method of testing and analysis. The "Average Daily Discharge" column on Tables A to C is not compulsory but should be filled out if data are available. To complete the "Average Daily Discharge" column, determine the average of all values within the last year and report the concentration and mass. Report the total number of storm events sampled under the "Number of Storm Events Sampled" column. Substantially Identical Outfalls If you have two or more substantially identical outfalls, you may request permission from your NPDES permitting authority to sample and analyze only one outfall and submit the results of the analysis for all substantially identical outfalls. If your request is granted, submit the following information on a separate sheet attached to the application form: the identity of the outfall you did test and an explanation of how it is substantially identical to the outfall(s) that you did not test. Analysis Except as specified below, all required quantitative data shall be collected in accordance with sufficiently sensitive analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0. A method is "sufficiently sensitive" when: • The method minimum level (ML) is at or below the level of the applicable water quality criterion for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. • The method ML is above the water quality criterion, but the amount of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the facility's discharge is high enough that the method detects and quantifies the level of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the discharge. 2F-7 General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Continued • The method has the lowest ML of the analytical methods select a different method from the remaining EPA -approved approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR methods that is sufficiently sensitive consistent with 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, for the measured pollutant or 122.21(e)(3)(1). Where no other EPA -approved methods exist, you pollutant parameter. must select a method consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(ii). Consistent with 40 CFR 136, you may provide matrix- or sample- When there is no analytical method that has been approved under specific MLs rather than the published levels. Further, where you 40 CFR 136; required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, can demonstrate that, despite a good faith effort to use a method and is not otherwise required by the NPDES permitting authority, that would otherwise meet the definition of "sufficiently sensitive," you may use any suitable method but shall provide a description of the analytical results are not consistent with the quality assurance the method.
