Regulations Governing Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities

1. TITLE OF THE REGULATIONS:

Regulations Governing Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities

2. BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE SUBJECT, SUBSTANCE AND ISSUES:

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Surface Water Discharges Section, is proposing to reissue the Regulations Governing Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities. The regulations are required to be reissued once every five years, expanding the existing regulations in place to include all current federal requirements for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities.

Two major revisions are: (1) a conditional "no exposure" exclusion that allows facilities with industrial materials and activities entirely sheltered from storm water a simplified way to comply with the permitting requirements by submitting a "No Exposure" certification form for exclusion from monitoring and storm water plan requirements in their permits; and (2) benchmark monitoring which requires facilities with a high potential to discharge a pollutant at concentrations of concern to conduct semi-annual analytical monitoring of storm water samples for comparison with benchmark monitoring concentration values used for indications of potential impairment of water quality in water bodies receiving the storm water discharge.

3. POSSIBLE TERMS OF THE AGENCY ACTION:

N/A

4. STATUTORY BASIS OR LEAGAL AUTHORITY TO ACT:

7 Del.C. Chapter 60, Section 6010

5. OTHER REGULATIONS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSAL:

Regulations Governing the Control of Water Pollution

(As amended May 14, 2003)

6. NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT:

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will hold a public hearing on September 29th, 2005 at 6 PM in the DNREC Auditorium, 89 Kings Highway the Richardson & Robbins Building in Dover, to receive comments on proposed amendments to the Regulations Governing Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities. Comments regarding the General Permit Program should be sent in writing to Amber Moore, Surface Water Discharges Section, Division of Water Resources, DNREC, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.

INTRODUCTION

Storm water discharges contribute significantly to water quality degradation across the United States. Storm water-related sources of potential water quality degradation include the following: manufacturing and processing facilities; transportation maintenance areas; urban areas; resource extraction; hydro-habitat modification; land disposal of wastes; and contaminated sediments present in stream and river beds. In November 1990 the USEPA issued Phase I of the NPDES Storm Water Permit Application Regulations for Storm Water Discharges indicating storm water as a major source of impairment to the quality of rivers, streams, and wetlands in the U.S.

In 1993 issued, Section 9 (The General Permit Program), of the State of Delaware, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. The General Permit Program is designed to provide permit coverage for the wide range of discharges which who could not practicably obtain individual permits in the foreseeable future. This approach will allow DNREC resources to concentrate on individual permits for facilities with discharges which have a more significant potential for impacting water quality in the State of Delaware.

A General Permit, as defined by federal law in 40 C.F.R. ??122.28, authorizes the discharge of storm water associated with industrial activity from sources within a defined area or that share certain similarities. A General Permit is a self-implementing standard that can apply to multiple discharges which the DNREC has determined can most efficiently be regulated as a category. Conversely, an individual permit contains special conditions specifically tailored to one specific facility. A General Permit is a Department statement of general applicability. A General Permit is a regulation since it implements and prescribes law which affects existing and future facilities.

Subsection 1 of the General Permits Program contains the Regulations Governing Storm Water Discharges Associated With Industrial Activity and is are referred to as the ???General NPDES Storm Water Program.??? In order to obtain coverage through the General NPDES Storm Water Permit Program, persons t will be required to file with the DNREC a Notice of Intent (NOI). The NOI requirement is in accordance with 40 C.F.R. ??122.28(b)(2) of the USEPA NPDES Program. The NOI is equivalent of an NPDES permit application for General NPDES Storm Water Permit coverage. Part 1 of the NPDES General Storm Water Permit Program consists of general provisions applicable to all discharges associated with industrial activity. A letter verifying acquisition of permit coverage instead of an actual permit will be issued to the discharges covered by Subsection 1.

The goal of the General NPDES Storm Water Permit Program is to establish, over a period of time, accepted practices for protecting and improving water quality and minimizing adverse impacts on waters of the State of Delaware by storm water discharges associated with industrial activity. To apply water-quality based numerical limits to storm water runoff, a large expenditure of the DNREC and industry resources (time and money) would be needed to develop and perform the myriad of assessments (e.g. modeling, analytical testing, statistical reviews of the varied rain event occurrences, event intensities, event intensity-deltas, event durations, and rainfall quantities). Therefore, the General NPDES Storm Water Permit Program requires Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented by all facilities as a more efficient approach to protect and improve water quality in the State of Delaware. The BMPs requirements in this regulation will serve in place of numerical limits in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122.44(k).

Subsection 1 of the General NPDES Storm Water Permit Program is divided into 2 14 Parts. Part 1 establishes the baseline of the General NPDES Storm Water Permit Program is established. Parts 2 through 14 applie to construction activities and specific categories of industrial activity. A facility is required to obtain coverage under the each applicable Part. If there is not an applicable industry-specific Part for a facility, then the facility is required to obtain and maintain coverage under Part 1.

The numbering sequence for the regulations is displayed by the following graphic:

??9.1.01.0 DEFINITIONS

The following words and phrases shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Subsection unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: As used in this Subsection, the following terms shall be defined as outlined herein:

Appropriate Plan Approval Agency: means the Department, Conservation District, county, municipality, or State agency that is responsible in a jurisdiction for review of a Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan.

Best Available Control Technology (BACT): means the latest stage of development (state of the art) of processes, facilities, measures of operation, indicating the practical suitability of such processes, facilities, and measures and methods for preventing or reducing the discharge of pollutants. In determining the BACT, special consideration is given to comparable measures, technological advances, changes in scientific understanding, economic feasibility, time limitations and harmful effects that are likely as a result of the discharge of pollutants.

Background Concentration: means the concentration of a substance that is consistently present and naturally occurring, or that is the result of human activities unrelated to a discharge or release from the facility. Background concentrations can be divided into two (2) classes: naturally occurring background concentrations and anthropogenic background concentrations.

Both classes of background concentrations have equal applicability. At any given site, naturally occurring and anthropogenic concentrations may be present.

Benchmark Concentration: means a pollutant concentration used by Part 1 of this Subsection as a threshold, below which a pollutant is considered unlikely to cause a water quality violation and above which it may. Benchmark concentrations are not water quality criteria and site-specific conditions must still be considered to determine if an actual water quality violation exists.

Exclusion, the facility must submit and receive written Department approval of a ???No Exposure??? Certification Form. A facility who obtains an approved Conditional ???No Exposure??? Exclusion is covered under this Subsection, but excluded from having to comply with the requirements of ??9.1.01.4. and ??9.1.01.5.

2. A ???No Exposure??? Certification Form must be provided for each facility qualifying for the Conditional ???No Exposure??? Exclusion. The exclusion is available on a facility-wide basis only, not for individual outfalls.

3. A storm resistant shelter is not required for the following industrial materials and activities:

a. Lidded Dumpsters: Lidded dumpsters containing waste materials, providing the containers are completely covered and there are no holes in the bottom of the container to allow leakage. Industrial refuse and trash that is stored uncovered, however, is considered exposed.

b. Adequately Maintained Vehicles: Adequately maintained vehicles such as trucks, automobiles, forklifts, trailers, or other general purpose vehicles found on-site (but no industrial machinery) which are not leaking or are otherwise a potential source of contaminants.

c. Fueling Activities: Vehicle or vessel maintenance facilities in which the only maintenance activity conducted on-site is vehicle fueling. If the fuel is dispensed from an above ground storage tank, there must be adequate secondary containment for the tank or the tank must be double walled. In addition, a spill containment and clean-up kit must be maintained on-site.

d. Above Ground Storage Tanks: Storm resistant shelters are not required for above ground storage tanks provided the following conditions are met:

1. Above ground storage tanks must be physically separated from and not associated with vehicle maintenance operations;

2. There must be no piping, pumps or other equipment leaking contaminants that could contact storm water;

3. The tanks must be double walled tanks or must be provided with secondary containment. Secondary containment structures must be constructed to hold at least 110% of the entire contents of the tank plus 6 inches to allow for precipitation;

4. Precipitation collected in secondary containment structures must be properly managed; and

1. Products that would be mobilized in storm water discharges (e.g., rock salt);

2. Products which may, when exposed, oxidize, deteriorate, leak, or otherwise be a potential source of contaminants (e.g., junk cars, stockpiled train rails); and

3. Final products which are, in actuality, intermediate products. Intermediate products are those used in composition of yet another product (e.g., sheet metal, tubing and paint used in making tractors). Even if the intermediate product is final for a manufacturer and destined for incorporation in a final product intended for use outdoors, these products are not allowed to be exposed because they may be chemically treated or are insufficiently impervious to weathering.

4. There are circumstances where permanent, uninterrupted sheltering of industrial activities or materials is not possible. Under such conditions:

a. Materials and activities may be sheltered with temporary covers (e.g., tarpaulins) until permanent enclosure can be achieved; and

b. The ???No Exposure??? provision does not specify every such situation, but the Secretary can address this issue on a case-by-case basis, i.e., determine if the temporary covers will meet the requirements of ??9.1.01.1.E.

5. The ???No Exposure??? Exclusion is conditional. If there is a change in circumstances that causes the exposure of industrial activities or materials to storm water, the owner/operator is required to comply immediately with all requirements of this Subsection.

Indicator #2 2 mg/l 2/year grab

Indicator #3 mg./l 2/year grab

6. Representative Discharge

If any person subject to this Subsection reasonably believes that two or more outfalls discharge storm water substantially identical (based on a consideration of industrial activity, Significant Materials, management practices and activities within the area drained bythe outfalls, that person may test the discharges of one of such outfalls and report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially identical outfalls.

A. Beginning on the effective date of this Subsection, persons conducting industrial activities:

1. identified in ??9.1.01.1.A.2.b., excluding those facilities classified as Industrial Activity Codes HZ and LF, shall monitor the discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities as specified by this Part.

2. identified in ??9.1.01.1.A.b. as Industrial Activity Codes HZ and LF shall perform monitoring in accordance with the DRGSW.

3. identified in ??9.1.01.1.A.2.a. (construction activities) shall perform monitoring in accordance with the provisions of ??9.1.02 (Part 2) of this Subsection.

B. Sampling Procedures and Conditions

Storm water must be sampled according to the instructions below.

1. Sample Type

A grab sample shall be collected from a storm water discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches of magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measured (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. The required 72 hour interval is waived where a preceeding measurable storm event did not result in a measurable discharge from the facility. The grab sample shall be taken within the first thirty (30) minutes of a storm water discharge. If it is not practicable to take the sample during the first 30 minutes, sample during the first hour of discharge and indicate why a grab sample during the first 30 minutes was impracticable. The permittee shall also allow for two (2) full days of standard operating activities at the facility since the last rainfall event that resulted in runoff from the facility.

For discharges from holding ponds or other impoundments with a 24-hour or greater retention capability, grab samples of the discharge may be obtained at any time.

2. Sample Location

Sampling is conducted to capture storm water with the greatest exposure to significant sources of pollution. Each distinct point of discharge (outfall) off-site must be sampled and analyzed separately if activities and site conditions that may pollute the storm water are likely to result in discharges that will significantly vary in the concentration or type of pollutants. All samples, except storm water discharges from coal piles, are to be taken as close to the point of discharge as reasonably practical and can be achieved safely. Storm water from coal piles is sampled before the storm water from the coal pile commingles with storm water for other sources.

3. Test Methods

Samples shall be representative of the monitored discharge. Sample collection and analysis must be conducted according to test procedures approved under 40 CFR Part 136, or an alternative method approved by the Department.

4. Representative Discharge

If any person subject to this Part reasonably believes that two or more outfalls discharge storm water substantially identical (based on consideration of industrial activity, Industrial Materials, management practices and activities within the area drained by the outfalls) that person may test the discharges of one of such outfalls and report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially identical outfall(s).;

5. Flow Measurement

For each representative sampled storm event, person subject to this Part must provide the following information:

a. the date and duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) sampled;

b. rainfall measurements (in inches) or estimates of runoff (in gallons) of the storm event that generated the sampled runoff;

c. the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event; and

d. an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge sampled.

6. Monitoring Frequency

Persons subject to the monitoring requirements of this Part, shall implement their monitoring program in the first full calendar quarter following submission of the NOI Form. In accordance with ??9.1.01.4.C., visual monitoring shall be performed on a quarterly basis and analytical monitoring shall be performed on a semi-annual basis.

C Industry-Specific Monitoring Requirements and Effluent Limitations

Storm water must be sampled according to the instructions below unless persons subject to this Part submit an alternative plan as a modification of coverage and it is approved by the Department. Persons subject to this Part are not required to sample outside of regular business hours or during unsafe conditions. There are three (3) individual and separate categories of monitoring requirements [Visual Monitoring, Benchmark Monitoring and Numeric Effluent Limitations] that a facility may be subject under ??9.1.01.4. The monitoring requirements applicable to a facility depend on the types of industrial activities generating storm water runoff from the facility. Persons subject to the monitoring requirements of this Part must review Tables 2.a. through 2.r. below and determine which monitoring requirements apply.

Sector-specific monitoring requirements and limitations are applied discharge by discharge at facilities with co-located activities. Where storm water from the co-located activities are commingled, the monitoring requirements and limitations are additive. Where more than one numeric limitation for a specified parameter applies to a discharge, compliance with the more restrictive limitation is required.

1. Quarterly Visual Monitoring

All facilities required to monitor storm water discharges, must perform and document quarterly visual examinations of storm water discharges associated with industrial activities from each storm water outfall. The examination(s) must be made at least once in each of the following three-month periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. The examination must document observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen and other obvious indicators of storm water pollution. The examination must be performed during daylight hours and must be made of samples collected within the first thirty (30) minutes of when runoff or snowmelt begins discharging from the facility. If no storm event resulted in runoff from the facility during a monitoring quarter, the permittee is excused fro visual monitoring for that quarter provided that documentation is included with the monitoring records indicating that no runoff occurred.

2. Analytical Monitoring ??? Benchmark Monitoring Concentrations and Effluent Limitations

Analytical monitoring is required for the industry sectors or sub-sectors that are determined to have a high potential to discharge a pollutant at concentrations of concern. Facilities conducting industrial activities shall analyze grab samples for the parameters identified in Tables a. through r. below on a semi-annual basis. Monitoring shall be completed at least once in each of the following six-month periods: January through June and July through December. Industry-specific monitoring requirements and limitations are applied discharge by discharge at facilities with co-located activities. Where indicated, monitored results shall be compared to Numeric Effluent Limitations or Benchmark Monitoring Concentration values. The Numeric Effluent Limitations and Benchmark Monitoring Concentrations are requirements applicable to a facility and depend on the types of industrial activities generating storm water runoff from the facility. The discharge of pollutants at a level more than that identified and authorized by a specified Numeric Effluent Limitation shall constitute a violation of this Part. The Benchmark Monitoring Concentration values represent target pollutant concentrations for a facility to achieve through implementation of its Storm Water Plan (SWP) {??9.1.01.5.}. Analytical results that exceed Benchmark Monitoring Concentration values are not a violation of this Part as these values are not Numeric Effluent Limitations. However, results that exceed a Benchmark Monitoring Concentration value are indications that the storm water discharge could potentially cause, or contribute to causing, water quality impairment in the receiving waterbody. The Benchmark Monitoring Concentration values are also viewed as a level, that if below, the discharge presents little potential for water quality concern.
