Since Mr. Mendoza is the new Plant Manager a Permit Contact Update Request Form will need to be completed and submitted on-line. The Site Map should be updated by including a north arrow, topography, labeling for the drains, a delineation of each drainage area of the outfalls and a table of impervious percentage for each drainage area.The Spill Response Team data should be updated. The facility did not have solvents, therefore this information must be certified in the SWPPP. Documentation of annual employee training will need to be included in the SWPPP. The facility inspections will need to be conducted on a quarterly basis per conditions of the new General Permit NCG050000 (effective June 1, 2023).
