Questions

Industrial stormwater pollution prevention plan: what people ask

Does my facility need industrial stormwater coverage?

It does if its activity is listed in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14) and it discharges stormwater. The list includes scrap and salvage yards (SIC 5015 and 5093), trucking terminals with vehicle maintenance, and many manufacturing codes.

What is a No Exposure Certification?

If every industrial material and activity is under a storm-resistant shelter, you can certify no exposure instead of getting permit coverage. You resubmit the certification every five years and must let the agency inspect.
