B. Provide a description of the method used,the date of any testing,and the onsite drainage points that were
direct!y observed during a test.
The stonnwater outfalts were evaluated for non-stormwater discharges by%isually inspecting the outfalls during dry weather,by
discussions with plant personnel,and review of facility design drawings. The results of this evaluation detected no dry weather
flow and discussions with plant personnel indicated that to the best of their knowledge,all process water discharges go to
the wastewater treatment sys1e7n.
VI. Significant Leaks or S ills
Provide existing information regarding the history ofsignificant leaks or spills oftoxic or hazardous
pollutants at the facility in the last three years,including the approximate date and location of the spill or
leak,and the type and amount of material released.
