Standard of ComplianceStandard of Compliance

Develop a SWPPPImplement the SWPPP– Meet the Effluent Limitation

Report on SWPPP ResultsImpact of Non-Compliance– Mandatory Minimum Penalties– Municipal Penalties– Water Board, Federal and Citizen Suite


ExclusionsExclusions

No Discharge Certification – No SWPPP or Monitoring

G-SIRT – Green Stormwater Impact Reduction Technology

Implementation – No SWPPP or Monitoring

No Exposure Certification

Multiple ActivitiesMultiple Activities

Dischargers whose facilities include multiple SIC Codes are authorized to file a single set of PRDs for coverage under the General Permit, provided that the SWPPP and monitoring program address each industrial activity.

TypePre-Requisite for QSD/QSP


Certification and Training RequirementsCertification and Training Requirements

QSD– Permit requires dischargers to hire a QSD who has

completed the statewide training protocol. The QSD write the SWPPP and gives professional site compliance guidance to the discharger.

QSP – The discharger is required to assign and send an

individual from the facility who is authorized to implement this Permit’s requirements to the QSP training.
