North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Page 1 1.0 Amended General Permit 2014-0057-DWQ Requirements The Industrial General Storm Water Permit requires that the SWPPP be retained on site and made available upon request of a representative of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and/or the local storm water management agency that receives storm water discharges. Either a paper or electronic copy of all storm water monitoring information, records, data, and reports required by the General Permit shall be kept on site or available during regularly scheduled operating hours for a period of at least five (5) years. The General Permit specifies that the RWQCB or the local agency may notify the facility operator when the SWPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements found in Section X and Section XI of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. As requested by the RWQCB or local agency, the facility operator is required to submit a SWPPP revision and implementation plan via the State of California’s Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) within 30 days. The SWPPP must be revised, as appropriate, and implemented prior to changes in industrial activities that: (1) May significantly increase the quantities of pollutants in storm water discharge. (2) Cause a new area of industrial activity at the facility to be exposed to storm water; or (3) Begin an industrial activity that would introduce a new pollutant source at the facility. During the Annual Comprehensive Facility Compliance Evaluation (annual evaluation), where a facility has been found in violation of any requirements of the General Permit, the SWPPP shall be revised, and revisions implemented within 90 days of the completion of the evaluation. When any part of the SWPPP is infeasible to implement by the deadlines specified in the General Permit due to proposed significant structural changes, the facility operator is required to submit a report to the RWQCB. The report must contain the following information: (1) Describe the portion of the SWPPP that is infeasible to implement by the deadline. (2) Provide justification for a time extension. (3) Provide a schedule for completing and implementing that portion of the SWPPP; and (4) Describe the BMPs that will be implemented in the interim period to reduce or prevent pollutants in storm water discharges. Such reports are subject to RWQCB approval and/or modifications. Upon written request by U.S. EPA or the local MS4, facilities must provide paper or electronic copies of annual reports or other requested records to the State Water Resources Control Board, Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. EPA, or local MS4 within ten (10) days from receipt of the request.
