Course Outline
This four-hour course includes three parts. Part 1 discusses the Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) Plan requirements for industrial facilities covered under the stormwater Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP). Part 2 discusses candidate Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified as applicable for stormwater programs at industrial facilities. These BMPs are specifically required under NPDES permits for stormwater discharges, as one part of the SWPP Plan. Part 3 includes several references to more detail on the topics in this course as well as related storm water management information. This information will be useful for any manufacturing facility or construction site covered by a MSGP or state equivalent. This information will enable the student to understand the requirements of the SWPP Plan, why BMPs are necessary, and when the various BMPs are most appropriate.
This course includes
multiple-choice quiz that are designed to enhance the understanding of the course
materials.
At
the conclusion of this course, the student will
- Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) Plan requirements; and
- Best Management
Practices (BMPs).
Course Introduction
Activities that
take place at industrial facilities, such as material handling and storage,
are often exposed to storm water. The runoff from these activities discharges
industrial pollutants into nearby storm sewer systems and water bodies which
may adversely impact water quality. The Environmental Protection Agency has
issued rules under the Clean Water Act (CWA) regulating the discharge of storm
water including discharges from certain industrial facilities.
