  What is the NPDES stormwater permitting program for industrial
  activity?
  Activities, such as material handling and storage, equipment maintenance and cleaning, industrial
  processing or other operations that occur at industrial facilities are often exposed to stormwater. The
  runoff from these areas may discharge pollutants directly into nearby waterbodies or indirectly via
  storm sewer systems, thereby degrading water quality.

  In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed permitting regulations under the
  National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to control stormwater discharges associated
  with eleven categories of industrial activity. As a result, NPDES permitting authorities, which may be
  either EPA or a state environmental agency,  issue stormwater permits to control runoff from these
  industrial facilities.


  What types of industrial facilities are required to obtain permit
  coverage?
  This fact sheet specifically discusses stormwater discharges from airports, airport terminals, airline
  carriers, and establishments as defined by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Major Group 45.
  Facilities and products in this group fall under the following categories, all of which require coverage
  under an industrial stormwater permit:
    4 Servicing, repairing, or maintaining aircraft and ground vehicles
    4 Equipment cleaning and maintenance (including vehicle and equipment rehabilitation
      mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication)
    4 Deicing/anti-icing operations which conduct the above described activities

  The operator and the tenants of the airport  that conduct industrial activities as described above and
  which have stormwater discharges are required to apply for coverage under an NPDES stormwater
  permit for the discharges from their areas of operation. The airport management and tenants of the
  airport are encouraged to apply as co-permittees under a permit, and to work in partnership in the
  development and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan.

  Non-stormwater discharges, including discharges from aircraft, ground vehicle and equipment wash-
  waters, dry weather discharges from airport deicing/anti-icing  operations, and dry weather discharges
  resulting from runway maintenance are not required to obtain coverage under an industrial storm-
  water permit. Dry weather discharges are generated from processes other than those described in the
  definition of stormwater. The definition of stormwater includes stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff,
  and surface runoff and drainage.


  What does an industrial stormwater permit require?
  Common requirements for coverage under an industrial  stormwater permit include development of
  a written stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), implementation of control measures, and
  submittal of a request for permit coverage, usually referred to as the Notice of Intent or NOI. The

  SWPPP is a written assessment of potential sources of pollutants in stormwater runoff and control
  measures that will be implemented at your facility to minimize the discharge of these pollutants in
  runoff from the site. These control measures include site-specific best management practices (BMPs),
  maintenance plans, inspections, employee training, and reporting. The procedures detailed  in the
  SWPPP must be implemented by the facility and updated as necessary, with a copy of the SWPPP kept
  on-site. The industrial stormwater permit also requires collection of visual, analytical, and/or compli-
  ance monitoring data to determine the effectiveness of implemented BMPs. For more information on
  EPA's industrial stormwater permit and links to State stormwater permits, go to www.epa.gov/npdes/
  stormwater and click on "Industrial Activity."


  What pollutants are associated with my facilities activities?
  Pollutants conveyed in stormwater discharges from air transportation facilities will vary. Generally, the
  concern with the use of ethylene and propylene glycols is that they exert high oxygen demands when
  released into receiving waters. Additionally, the concentration of nitrogen and possibly ammonia are
  the concern with the respect to deicing/anti-icing  operations where urea is used. There are a number
  of factors that influence to what extent industrial activities and significant materials can affect water
  quality.
     4  Geographic location
     4  Topography
     4  Hydrogeology
     4  Extent of impervious surfaces (e.g.,, concrete or asphalt)
     4  Type of ground cover (e.g., vegetation, crushed stone, or dirt)
     4  Outdoor activities (e.g., material storage, loading/unloading, vehicle maintenance)
     4  Size of the operation
     4  Type, duration, and intensity of precipitation events

  The activities, pollutant sources, and pollutants detailed in Table 1 are commonly found at air
  transportation facilities.

  What BMPs can be used to minimize contact between stormwater
  and potential pollutants  at my facility?
  A variety of BMP options may be applicable to eliminate or minimize the presence of pollutants
  in stormwater discharges from air transportation facilities. You will likely need to implement a
  combination or suite of BMPs to address stormwater runoff at your facility. Your first consideration
  should be for pollution prevention BMPs, which are designed to prevent or minimize pollutants
  from entering stormwater runoff and/or reduce the volume of stormwater requiring management.
  Prevention  BMPs can include regular cleanup, collection and containment of debris in storage areas,
  and other housekeeping practices, spill  control, and employee training. It may also be necessary to
  implement  treatment BMPs, which are engineered structures intended to treat stormwater runoff and/
  or mitigate the effects of increased stormwater runoff peak rate, volume, and velocity. Treatment BMPs
  are generally more expensive to install and maintain and include oil-water separators, wet ponds, and
  proprietary filter devices.

  BMPs must be selected and implemented to address the following:

  Good Housekeeping Practices
  Good housekeeping is a practical, cost-effective way to maintain a clean and orderly facility to prevent
  potential pollution sources from coming into contact with stormwater. It includes establishing proto-
  cols to reduce the possibility of mishandling materials or equipment and training employees in good
  housekeeping techniques. Common areas where good housekeeping practices should be followed in-
  clude trash  containers and adjacent areas, material storage areas, vehicle and equipment maintenance
  areas, and loading docks. Good housekeeping practices must  include a schedule for regular pickup and
  disposal of  garbage and waste materials and routine inspections of drums, tanks, and containers for
  leaks and structural conditions. Practices also include containing and covering garbage, waste materi-
  als, and debris. Involving employees in  routine monitoring of housekeeping practices has proven to
  be an effective means of ensuring the continued implementation of these measures.

  Minimizing Exposure
  Where feasible, minimizing exposure of potential pollutant sources to precipitation is an important
  control option. Minimizing exposure prevents pollutants, including debris, from coming into contact
  with precipitation and can reduce the need for BMPs to  treat contaminated stormwater runoff. It can
  also prevent debris from being picked up by stormwater and carried into drains and surface waters.
  Examples of BMPs for exposure minimization include covering materials or activities with temporary
  structures (e.g., tarps) when  wet weather is expected or  moving materials or activities to existing
  or new permanent structures (e.g.,  buildings, silos, sheds). Even the simple practice of keeping a
  dumpster lid  closed can be a very effective pollution prevention measure.

  Erosion and Sediment Control
  BMPs must be selected and implemented to limit erosion on areas of your site that, due to
  topography, activities, soils, cover, materials, or other factors are likely to experience erosion. Erosion
  control BMPs such as seeding, mulching, and sodding prevent soil from becoming dislodged and
  should be considered first. Sediment control BMPs such as silt fences, sediment ponds, and  stabilized
  entrances, trap sediment after it has eroded. Sediment control BMPs should be used to  back-up
  erosion control BMPs.

  Management  of Runoff
  Your SWPPP must contain  a narrative evaluation of the appropriateness of stormwater  management
  practices that divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise manage stormwater runoff so as to reduce the
  discharge of pollutants. Appropriate measures are highly site-specific,  but may include,  among others,
  vegetative  swales, collection and reuse of stormwater, inlet controls, snow management, infiltration
  devices, and wet retention measures.

  EPA-833-F-06-034                                                                          3

  A combination of preventive and treatment BMPs will yield the most effective stormwater manage-
  ment for minimizing the offsite discharge of pollutants via stormwater runoff. Though not specifically
  outlined in this fact sheet, BMPs must also address preventive maintenance records or logbooks, regu-
  lar facility inspections, spill prevention and response, and employee training.
  All BMPs require regular maintenance to function as intended. Some management measures have
  simple maintenance requirements, others are quite involved. You must regularly inspect all BMPs to
  ensure they are operating properly, including during runoff events. As soon as a problem is found,
  action to resolve it should be initiated immediately.
  Implement BMPs, such as those listed below in Table 2 for the control of pollutants at air transporta-
  tion facilities, to minimize and prevent the discharge of pollutants  in stormwater. Identifying weak-
  nesses in current facility practices will aid the permittee in determining appropriate BMPs that will
  achieve a reduction in pollutant loadings. BMPs listed in Table 2 are broadly applicable to air transpor-
  tation facilities; however, this is not a complete list and you are recommended to consult with regula-
  tory agencies or a stormwater engineer/consultant to identify appropriate BMPs for your facility.

  What if activities and materials at my facility are not exposed to
  precipitation?
  The industrial stormwater program requires permit coverage for a number of specified types of
  industrial activities. However, when a facility is able to prevent the exposure of ALL relevant activities
  and materials to precipitation, it may be eligible to claim no exposure and qualify for a waiver from
  permit coverage.

  If you are regulated under the industrial permitting program, you must either obtain permit coverage
  or submit a no exposure certification form, if available. Check with your permitting authority for
  additional information as not every permitting authority program provides no exposure exemptions.

  Where do I get more information?
  For additional information on the industrial stormwater program see
  www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp.

  A list of names and telephone numbers for each EPA Region or state NPDES permitting authority can
  be found at www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwatercontacts.
