FORM 1—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
With the exceptions described in "Form 1—Activities That Do Not
Require Permits," the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et
seq.) prohibits any person from discharging pollutants into waters
of the United States without first having been issued a permit
under the NPDES program.
Who Must Complete Form 1?
All applicants, other than publicly owned treatment works
(POTWs) and treatment works treating domestic sewage
(iWTDS), must submit Form 1. If you operate one of the
following facilities, you must submit form 1: concentrated animal
feeding operations and aquatic animal production facilities;
manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural operations;
or other industrial facilities.
At the state level, either the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) or an approved state agency administers the
NPDES permit program. If you are located in a jurisdiction in
which an EPA regional office administers the NPDES permit
program, you should use Form 1 and all other applicable forms
described in these instructions. If you are located in a jurisdiction
where a state administers the NPDES permit program, contact
the state to determine the forms you should complete. States
often develop their own application forms rather than use the
federal forms. See http:llwww.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-state-
prooram-information for a list of states that have approved
NPDES permit programs and those that do not.
Exhibit 1-1 (see end of this section) provides contact information
for each of EPA's 10 regional offices. Since the exhibit's content is
subject to change, consult EPA's website for the latest information:
http:llwww.epa.gov/aboutepa#regional.
Upon your request, and based on information supplied by you,
EPA or the authorized NPDES state will determine whether you
are required to obtain a permit for a particular facility or activity.
Be sure to contact EPA or your state if you have a question,
Form 1 collects general information only. You must also complete
a more detailed application based on your proposed discharge
activity, as follows:
• If your facility is a concentrated animal feeding operation
or a concentrated aquatic animal production facility, you
must also complete Form 2B.
• If your facility is an existing manufacturing, commercial,
mining, or Silvicultural facility that currently discharges
process wastewater, you must also complete Form 2C.
• If your facility is a new manufacturing, commercial, mining,
or Silvicultural facility that has yet to commence discharge of
process wastewater, you must also complete Form 2D,
• If your facility is a new or existing facility (including
manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural
facilities) that discharges only nonprocess wastewater,
you must also complete Form 2E.
• If your facility is a new or existing facility whose discharge
is composed entirely of stormwater associated with industrial
activity --excluding discharges from construction activity
under 122,26(b)(14)(x) or (b)(15�—you must also complete
Form 2F. If the discharge is composed Df stormwater and
non-stormwater, you must complete Form 2F and you must
also complete Forms 2C, 2D, and/or 2E, as appropriate. See
Form 2F's instructions for further details.

FORM 1—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
Where to File Your Completed Form
If you are in a jurisdiction with an approved state NPDES
permit program, file according to the instructions on the state
forms.
If you are in a jurisdiction where EPA is the NPDES
permitting authority (i.e., the state is not an NPDES-
authorized state), mail the completed application forms to the
EPA regional office that covers the state in which your facility
is located (see Exhibit 1-1).
When to File Your Completed Form
Because of statutory and regulatory requirements, the deadlines
for filing applications vary according to your facility or activity type
and the type of permit you need. The various permit application
deadlines are listed in Exhibit 1-2 at the end of this section.
Fees
EPA does not require applicants to pay a fee for applying for
NPDES permits. However, states that administer the NPDES
permit program may charge fees. Consult with state officials for
further information.
Public Availability of Submitted Information
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 1(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 1. 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
at Part 2 of Title 4 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.
The NPDES permitting authority could consider your application
incomplete if you do not provide an answer (or indicate "NA" for
"not applicable") for all questions on Form 1 and the applicable
Form 2.
Provide your EPA Identification Number from the Facility Registry
Service, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of
each page of Form 1 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 and NPDES number.
If you do not know your EPA Identification Number, contact your
NPDES permitting authority. See Exhibit 1-1 for contact
information.
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.

and longitude coordinates may be obtained in a variety of ways,
including use of hand held devices (e.g., a GPS enabled
smartphone), internet mapping tools (e.g.,
https:/Imynasadata.larc.nasa,gov/latitudelon-gitude-finder/),
geographic information systems (e.g., ArcView), or paper maps
from trusted sources (e.g., USGS).
On all maps of rivers, show the direction of the current. In tidal
waters, show the directions of ebb and flow tides.
You may develop your map by going to USGS's National Nlap
website at http:llnationalmap.00vl. (For a map from this site, use
the traditional 7.5-minute quadrangle format. If none is available,
use a USGS 15-minute series map.) You may also use a plat or
other appropriate map. Briefly describe land uses in the map area
(e.g., residential, commercial). An example of an acceptable

does not show an actual facility.
If the facility is a concentrated animal feeding operation, you are
not required to provide the topographic map required by this
section of Form 1. Instead, you are required to provide a
topographic map as specified in Section 4 of Form 2B.
Item 7.1. Note that you have completed your topographic map
and attached it to the application.
Section 8. Nature of Business
Briefly describe the nature of your business (e.g., products
produced or services provided). See Examples 1 and 2.
Example 1
Facilities Subject to 40 CFR 426, Subparts F and G
Industry A is an auto tempered and auto laminated glass
manufacturing facility subject to effluent limitation guidelines
(ELGs) for the "Automotive Glass Tempering" and "Automotive
Glass Laminating" subcategories of the "Glass Manufacturing"
point source category at 40 CFR 426, subparts F and G. At the
facility, glass is cut and then passed through a series of
processes that grind and polish the edges, bend the glass, and
then temper the glass to produce side and back windows for
automobiles. Tempering involves heating the glass near the
melting point, then rapidly cooling it to increase its mechanical
and thermal endurance. The facility also produces automobile
windshields and undertakes processes that laminate a plastic
sheet between two layers of glass and that prepare the glass for
lamination (e.g., cutting, bending, and washing).
Example 2
Facility Not Subject to ELGs
Industry B undertakes batch -type resin manufacturing operations.
It has aboveground storage tanks for raw materials and finished
goods, resin loading operations, and warehouses for 55-gallon
drums of finished product. Industry B manufactures alkyd,
saturated and unsaturated polyester resins in batches using
reactor vessels and mix tanks. Most of the feedstock liquids are
pumped from storage tanks to the kettles and mixers via a closed
piping system. Additional feedstocks are added manually as
solids from bags and sacks via manways, which are located on
top of the kettles. The resin is then chemically reacted in the
kettles. After the reaction step finishes, the resin is transferred
from the kettles to the mix tanks, where solvents are added to
thin it. The primary byproduct of the reaction is water vapor
containing condensed soluble organics. The byproduct flows to
an isolation tank where the vapors are directed to an onsite
thermal oxidizer. The finished resin is then pumped through one
of three types of filtration systems into finished goods storage
tanks, 55-gallon drums, 350-gallon intermediate bulk container
totes, or directly into tanker trucks. A typical batch takes about 30
hours to complete.

Item 9.2. Identify the source of the cooling water. For example,
indicate whether the cooling water is from a surface water,
groundwater well, public water system, or treated effluent that
would otherwise be discharged to a water of the U.S.
If the facility uses a cooling water intake structure as described in
40 CFR 125, Subparts I and J, the facility may have additional
application requirements under 40 CFR 122.21(r). Note that the
information required by 40 CFR 122.21(r) is not requested as part
of Form 1. Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine
the specifics of what you should provide and when.
Section 10. Variance Requests
An applicant (other than a POTW) may request a variance from
otherwise applicable effluent limitations under certain conditions
described at 40 CFR 122.21(m).
Item 10.1. If known at the time of application, check all of the
authorized variances that you plan to request or renew. Note that
you are not being asked to submit any other information at this
time. Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine the
specifics of what you should provide and when. The ability to
request a variance is not limited to the time of application, and an
applicant may request a variance consistent with statutory and
regulatory requirements.
Section 11. Checklist and Certification
Item 11.1. Review the checklist provided. In Column 1, mark the
sections of Form 1 that you have completed and are submitting
with your application. In Column 2, indicate for each section
whether you are submitting attachments.
Item 11.2. The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for
submitting false information on this application form. CWA Section
309(c)(2) provides that, "Any person who knowingly makes any
false statement, representation, or certification in any application,
...shall upon conviction, be punished by a fine of no more than
$10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or
both."

FORM 1—ACTIVITIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE PERMITS
You are not required to obtain an NPDES permit if your discharge
is in one of the following categories, as provided by the CWA and
NPDES regulations at 40 CFR 122 to 125. (However, under CWA
Sections 510 and 312, some discharges exempted from the
federal NPDES requirements may still be regulated by a state
permitting authority.)
Any discharge of sewage from vessels and any effluent from
properly functioning marine engines, laundry, shower, and
galley sink wastes, or any other discharge incidental to the
normal operation of a vessel, including vessels of the Armed
Forces within the meaning of section 312 of the CWA and
recreational vessels within the meaning of section 502(25) of
the CWA. None of these exclusions apply to rubbish, trash,
garbage, or other such materials discharged overboard; nor
to other discharges when the vessel is operating in a
capacity other than as a means of transportation such as
when used as an energy or mining facility, a storage facility
or a seafood processing facility, or when secured to a
storage facility or a seafood processing facility, or when
secured to the bed of the ocean, contiguous zone or waters
of the United States for the purpose of mineral or oil
exploration or development.
• Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the
United States that are regulated under CWA Section 404.
The introduction of sewage, industrial wastes, or other
pollutants into publicly owned treatment works by indirect
dischargers. Plans or agreements to switch to this method of
disposal in the future do not relieve dischargers of the
obligation to have and comply with permits until all
discharges of pollutants to waters of the United States are
eliminated. (See also 40 CFR 122.47(b).) This exclusion
does not apply to the introduction of pollutants to privately
owned treatment works or to other discharges through pipes,
sewers, or other conveyances owned by a state, municipality,
or other party not leading to treatment works.
• Any discharge in compliance with the instructions of an On -
Scene Coordinator pursuant to 40 CFR 300 (The National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan) or
33 CFR 153.10(e) (Pollution by Oil and Hazardous
Substances).
• Any introduction of pollutants from non point -source
agricultural and silvicultural activities, including stormwater
runoff from orchards, cultivated crops, pastures, range lands,

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
under40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) or (b)(15)) or composed 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.

Instructions" in Form
2F-1

FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
Line -by -Line Instructions
Section 1. Outfall location
Item 1.1. Identify each of the facility's outfalls by number. For each
outfall, specify the latitude and longitude to the nearest 15 seconds
and name of the receiving water. Latitude and longitude
coordinates may be obtained in a variety of ways, including use of
hand held devices (e.g., a GPS enabled smartphone), internet
mapping tools (e.g„
hUps:llmynasadata.tart.nasa.00v/latitudelongitude-finder!),
geographic information systems (e,g., ArcView), or paper maps
from trusted sources (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey or USGS). The
location of each outfall (i.e., where the coordinates are collected)
shall be the location where collected and concentrated stormwater
flows are discharged from the facility such that the first receiving
water body into which the discharge flows, either directly or
through a separate storm sewer system, is a water of the United
States. If you need further guidance in responding to Item 1.1, refer
to hqp:liwww.epa.gov/qeospatial/latitudelongitude-data-standard.
Note: In EPA's stormwater permits, 'outfalls" are referred to as
"discharge points."
Note that space has been provided on the form for six outfalls. If
you have more than this number, type your information on a
separate sheet of paper in a format similar to that of the form.
Make sure you note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit
number, and facility name at the top of the page and indicate the
specific item of the form to which you are responding —Item 1.1 in
this case. In other sections of the form, you will be asked to provide
information by outfall number (Sections 2, 4, 5, and 7).
Section 2. Improvements
Item 2.1. Indicate if you are required by any federal, state, or local
authority to meet an implementation schedule for constructing,
upgrading, or operating wastewater treatment equipment or
practices or any other environmental programs that could affect the

condition, specify the affected ouffall number(s), the source(s) of
the discharge, the required final compliance date, and the
projected final compliance date.
Item 2.3.OPTIONAL ITEM. Indicate if you have attached any
sheets describing any additional water pollution control programs
(or other environmental projects that could affect your discharges)
that you may now have underway or planned. If you attach
additional sheets, indicate in the attachment whether each program
is actually underway or is planned, and indicate your actual or
planned schedule for construction. Be sure to note your EPA
Identification Number, NPDES permit number, and facility name at
the top of any attached pages.
Section 3. Site Drainage Map
Item 3.1 Attach a site drainage map showing the topography of the
facility. If a topographic map is unavailable, you may provide an
outline of drainage areas served by the outfall(s) covered in the
application. The site map must include the following information:
• Each of its drainage and discharge structures.
• The drainage area of each stormwater outfall.
Paved areas and buildings within the drainage area of each
stormwater outfall; each past or present area used for outdoor
storage or disposal of significant materials; each existing
structural control measure to reduce pollutants in stormwater
runoff; materials loading and access areas; and areas where
pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, and fertilizers are
applied.
• Each hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility

such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have the potential to be
released with stormwater discharges.
Item 4.3. For each outfall, list the location and type of existing
structural and non-structural control measure(s) to reduce
pollutants in stormwater runoff. Structural controls include
structures that enclose materials handling or storage areas;
structures that cover materials; and berms, dikes, or diversion
ditches around manufacturing, production, storage, or treatment
units and retention ponds. Spill prevention plans, employee
training, visual inspections, preventive maintenance, and
housekeeping measures are examples of non-structural controls.
Describe the treatment, including the schedule and type of
maintenance activities performed, and the ultimate disposal of any
solid or fluid wastes other than by discharge. For each structural
control identified, indicate the type of treatment the stormwater
receives using the codes in Exhibit 2F-1, at the end of the
instructions. For each non-structural control identified, indicate
"Not Applicable" in the "Codes from Exhibit 2F-1" column.
Section 5. Non-Stormwater Discharges
Item 5.1. Provide a certification that all outfalls that should contain
stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity have
been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. Tests for such non-stormwater discharges can include
smoke tests, fluorometric dye tests, analysis of accurate
schematics, and others.
Item 5.2. Include a description of the method used, the date of any
testing, and the onsite drainage points that were directly observed
during a test used to support the certification in Item 5.1. All non-
stormwater discharges must be identified in a Form 2C, 2D, or 2E.
See "Who Must Complete Form 2F?" above for more information.
Section 6. Significant Leaks or Spills

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
wetting of logs at wet deck storage areas
Runoff from phosphate fertilizer manufacturing fadlitles
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

Item 7.4. In Table B, list all pollutants that are limited in an ELG to
which the facility is subject and all pollutants listed in the facility's
NPDES permit for its process wastewater (if the facility is operating
under an existing NPDES permit) and provide quantitative data for
each pollutant (provide actual data for existing dischargers and
estimated data for new sources and new dischargers). 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 outfall, 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 8 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 intra-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
httoJ/www,bee. oovinationallodflSNTables. odf.

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.
Item 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 outfall, list any pollutant in Exhibit 2F4 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: Under 40 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, civil 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 identfied in the NPDES permit
application or in the permit, t the permit contains a requirement for treatment
of the discharge, and if the treatment is in place. If you would like 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 40CFR 117.12(a)(2) and (c) or contact your NPDES permitting authority
for further information on exclusions from CWA Section 311.

General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis I
Important note: Read these instructions before completing Tables
A through C and Section 7 of Form 2F.
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
Engineering reports
1
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 is/will 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) stone
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

General Instructions for Reportinq, Sampling, and Analysis Continued
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 GC1MS 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
Concentration
Mass
m = parts per million
lbs = pounds
m L = milligrams per liter
ton = tons (English tons
b = parts per billion
mg = milligrams
= 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
carry 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 "1" 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 cuttall 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)(i). Where no other EPA -approved methods exist, you

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. When selecting a suitable method, other factors such
(QA)Iquality control (QC) specifications for that method, then the
as a method's precision, accuracy, or resolution, may be considered
NPDES permitting authority may determine that the method is not
