1.3 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (PPT) The stormwater pollution prevent team (PPT) is comprised of representatives from the Citys

SWMD. The responsibility of the PPT is to oversee development of the SWPPP and for

implementing and maintaining control measures and taking corrective actions when required. A list

of PPT members and contact information is provided in Appendix A. A summary of PPT members

responsibilities follows.




SWMD Environmental Compliance Coordinator (PPT Leader) - Responsibilities include

SWPPP development and management, facility inspections, stormwater monitoring, annual

training, EPA annual reporting, NOI submission, spill response and reporting, evaluation of

spill data to identify preventative measures, etc.

PPT Members - Responsibilities include NOI submission, implementation of the SWPPP,

quarterly inspections, and annual training, etc.

Each PPT member is provided an electronic copy of the SWPPP and MSGP 2015. It is the

responsibility of the PPT member to maintain their copy of the SWPPP and ensure its completeness

and availability and to fully implement the procedures and best management practices (BMPs).

Appendix A shall be updated periodically to reflect changes in personnel.

The MSGP 2015 is included as Appendix B of this SWPPP.

1.4 Activities at the Facility SWMD operates the Don Reservoir Convenience Center (DRCC) which provides solid waste transfer

and disposal services for City and Bernalillo County residents. DRCC also provides residents with an

opportunity to recycle used bicycles, scrap metals, and green waste.

Incoming waste is monitored by DRCC site attendants to ensure only allowable waste is disposed of

at the facility and prohibited waste is turned away. To deter DRCC customers from disposing of

prohibited waste, incoming waste is monitored in two ways: information passed along at the

cashiers booth and random inspections. The tenant at the cashiers booth informs every customer

of the types of waste that are accepted and prohibited. Waste screening is performed randomly

twice a day, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. These inspections are documented by

the staff and the records are kept onsite.

If prohibited waste is identified during initial inspection or when a customer is unloading their

waste, it is turned away and the resident is provided direction to where said material is allowed to

be legally disposed. The resident is then responsible for proper disposal of the rejected material. If

any prohibited material discovered after unloading cannot be returned to the hauling vehicle, it is

segregated and controlled, as necessary, until proper disposal can occur.

Nonrecyclable and nonprohibited waste is loaded into six, 40-cubic yard roll-off containers. Four

of these containers are designated for municipal solid waste (MSW) while the other two are

designated for recyclable material scrap metal and green waste. Special storage areas on the

south side of the facility are reserved for household hazardous waste (HHW) and used batteries

which DRCC does not advertise as acceptable waste, but if found amongst waste deposited onsite,

they have the proper storage containment to handle such materials.

When the MSW and green waste containers are full, a transport driver delivers an empty container

and transports the full container to the Cerro Colorado Landfill. Scrap metal is transported to an

independent contractor on an as needed basis. The used bicycles are picked up on a monthly basis

by an independent contractor to be refurbished. HHW is collected by Advanced Chemical Transport

(ACT) when storage capacity is met for proper disposal. Used car batteries are delivered to a

recycling facility.




Other activities at DRCC include routine preventative maintenance and mobile fueling for heavy

equipment.

1.5 General Location Map The general location of the DRCC is presented in Figure 1 of Appendix C. The layout of each facility

is shown on Figure 2 of Appendix C along with the direction of stormwater flow, outfall locations

section of the SWPPP and shown on Figure 2 of Appendix C.




2.3 Non-Stormwater Discharges Documentation Date of evaluations: March 21, 2016

Description of the evaluation criteria used:

DRCC was visually assessed, photographed, and documented. The summary reports of each

evaluation are included in Appendix D. Potential non-stormwater discharges permissible under

this SWPPP include:

Discharges from firefighting activity,

Waterline flushing,

External building wash down (specifically allowed under MSGP 2015 without the use of

detergents assuming no detrimental effect on stormwater quality), and

Incidental air conditioning condensate.

All site areas, including presumed drainage ways were observed during the evaluation. No non-

stormwater discharges were observed at the DRCC. No actions were necessary as a result of the

evaluation because no unauthorized discharges were identified.

2.4 Salt Storage Salt and/or sand used for road deicing are not stored or used at the DRCC.

2.5 Sampling Data Summary Stormwater has not yet been sampled at the DRCC. However, sampling requirements outlined in

this SWPPP will address quarterly stormwater sampling including benchmark sampling.

Reporting Process: All operators will report spills greater than 5 gallons to the

Environmental Compliance Coordinator. The following information must be

reported:

- Date and time

- Responsible party

- Fluid type and quantity

- Spill location and surface (concrete, asphalt, soil)

- Brief description of activity causing spill

The Environmental Compliance Coordinator will follow up and notify operator

if any additional local, state, or federal reporting is required.




Section 3: Stormwater Control Measures Stormwater controls at the DRCC are instituted in the form of BMPs designed to address activities

that are potential sources of stormwater pollution. Each BMP outlines measures designed to reduce

the potential for stormwater pollution. There are currently six BMPs implemented at the DRCC. The

BMPs are listed in Table 3 and presented in their entirety in Appendix E.

Table 3

Summary of Best Management Practices

Stormwater Control Structures

BMP-6 Structural Stormwater Controls

Select, implement, and maintain structural stormwater

controls to manage the volume and/or quality of

stormwater leaving the property. Stormwater volume

controls should be installed to manage stormwater

volume by delaying, diverting, or reducing the amount of

stormwater runoff from the site. Stormwater quality

controls should be installed to prevent pollutants from

contacting stormwater or remove pollutants from

stormwater.




3.1 Minimize Exposure In order to minimize the exposure of material storage areas (including loading and unloading,

storage, disposal, cleaning, maintenance, and fueling operations) to rain, snow, snowmelt, and

runoff; and minimize pollutant discharge from industrial activities performed at the DRCC,

performing and locating these activities indoors or protecting them with storm resistant cover will

be implemented. The following should be performed as needed:

Use grading, berming or curbing to prevent runoff of contaminated flows and divert run-on

away from these areas;

Locate materials, equipment, and activities so that potential leaks and spills are contained or

able to be contained or diverted before discharge;

Clean up spills and leaks promptly using dry methods (e.g., absorbents) to prevent the

discharge of pollutants;

Store leaky vehicles and equipment indoors or, if stored outdoors, use drip pans and

absorbents;

Use spill/overflow protection equipment; and

Perform all vehicle and/or equipment cleaning operations indoors, under cover, or in bermed

areas that prevent runoff and run-on and also that capture any overspray.

3.2 Good Housekeeping Good housekeeping is regularly conducted at the DRCC. The residential drop-off areas have regular

incoming supply of material which is stored until a sufficient quantity of material is accumulated for

transfer to the Cerro Colorado Landfill, contractor pick up, or recycling centers, as applicable.

Daily inspections of the residential drop-off area are conducted. The DRCC employees inspect the

facility monthly for presence of potential stormwater pollutants (solid waste, hazardous

fluids/waste, sediment, etc.), which are properly disposed of if present. Additionally, debris

gathered along the interior fence lines is raked up and disposed of on a regular basis.

3.3 Maintenance Good engineering practices are performed to prevent spills and leaks from occurring when

performing maintenance outdoors. During routine facility inspections, DRCC employees inspect all

pieces of equipment and machinery to ensure it is in good repair with no drips or leaks evident.

This includes:

Performing inspections and preventative maintenance of stormwater drainage, source

controls, and equipment that could result in contamination of stormwater. Equipment

exceeding light preventative maintenance will be sent to the Cerro Colorado Landfill

maintenance facility or Edith Yards Maintenance Facility.

Diligently maintaining non-structural control measures (e.g., keep spill response supplies

available, personnel appropriately trained).




3.4 Spill Prevention and Response. As stated in BMPs listed above, a facility-specific Spill Response Plan is posted in all areas where

spills and/or leaks are likely to occur. At DRCC, spill response plans are posted in conspicuous

places and as possible near a telephone. Spill response plans shall be posted at the:

DRCCs Site Attendant Building,

Preventative Maintenance area, and

HHW storage area.

Spill response procedures and current contact information can be found on the spill response plans.

A copy of the spill response plan is located in Appendix E. Spill prevention and response

procedures should be assessed on a quarterly basis for any facility and personnel changes that

might affect the efficiency in responding to a spill or release, to include:

Develop training on the procedures for expeditiously stopping, containing, and cleaning up

leaks, spills, and other releases. As appropriate, execute such procedures as soon as possible;

Notify appropriate facility personnel when a leak, spill, or other release occurs.

Spill cleanup materials are adequately stocked, readily accessible, and labeled at all times. Spent

cleanup materials are disposed of immediately and properly. All tanks, drums, buckets, and other

storage containers are properly labeled and if stored outdoors, or indoors directly adjacent to a

doorway, they encompass secondary containment.

Secondary containment for all fluids is required. Specific areas where secondary containment is

required include:

Maintenance fluid storage and

HHW storage.

3.5 Erosion and Sediment Controls Erosion is evaluated quarterly during stormwater monitoring events and annually during the dry

weather evaluation of the stormwater drainage points. There are no stormwater management

structures to control erosion and sediment.

3.6 Management of Runoff Precipitation runoff from the site travels as sheet flow toward the east and is collected at a storm

inlet conveying flow to a stormwater detention basin located southeast of the DRCC. Excess runoff

is diverted to the Citys stormwater system via an overflow structure located within the stormwater

detention basin. Stormwater management structures are shown on the Site, Drainage, and Activities

Plan (Figure 2 of Appendix C).

3.7 Salt Storage Piles or Piles Containing Salt There are no salt storage piles at the DRCC.




3.8 MSGP Sector-Specific Non-Numeric Effluent Limits The DRCC is not subject to Effluent Limitations.

3.9 Employee Training The SWPPP PPT Leader is responsible for providing training to the DRCC employees regarding the

components and goals of this SWPPP. The SWMD and other employees who work in areas where

industrial materials and activities are exposed to stormwater, or who are responsible for

implementing activities to meet the conditions of the MSGP 2015 are expected to participate in

annual SWPPP training.

Training will be provided to DRCC employees at least annually by qualified trainers, with additional

training made available as required by new hires. Elements to be included in the training sessions

include the following:

Purpose, need, and requirement for stormwater pollution prevention;

Examples of unallowable non-stormwater discharges;

Availability, layout, and contents of the SWPPP;

Description and applicability of the BMPs;

Good housekeeping and preventative maintenance requirements;

Material management practices;

Spill response procedures;

Spill reporting requirements;

Corrective action reporting;

Used oil and spent solvent management;

Fueling procedures;

Proper painting procedures;

Used battery management;

Documentation requirements; and

Notice of Intent (NOI) submission (when applicable).

All training events are documented including the date of training, identification of the trainer and

attendees, and subjects covered. Training records for SWMDs train-the-trainer session shall be

included in Appendix F of this SWPPP.

All training events are documented including the date of training, identification of the trainer and

attendees, and subjects covered. Training records for SCSWAs train-the-trainer session shall be

included in Appendix G of this SWPPP.

Reporting Process: Following each training session, SWMD will distribute training certificates

by email to all staff and PPT members that attend training and submit a training assessment.

3.10 Non-Stormwater Discharges An evaluation of non-stormwater discharges was performed as described in Section 2.3 Non-

Stormwater Discharges Documentation. No non-stormwater discharges were identified during the

evaluation. If any future non-stormwater discharges are observed at the facility, details of the

discharge must be logged on the form in Appendix D and shown on the Site Plan (Figure 2 of

Appendix C).

3.11 Waste, Garbage and Floatable Debris Litter at the DRCC is routinely managed through the use of tarped/covered loads, fencing around

the property, and manual collection.

3.12 Dust Generation and Vehicle Tracking of Industrial Materials The access roads and the DRCC travel areas are paved to minimize dust generation. All customers

enter and exit the facility on paved areas. The site is surrounded by vegetation and fencing keeping

much windblown material in the facility. SWMD roll-off truck drivers are responsible for cleaning

their vehicles and properly disposing of associated trash and debris prior to leaving the facility.

4.3 Schedules and Procedures Pertaining to Monitoring

4.3.1 Quarterly Visual Stormwater Assessment

Once per annual quarter during the entire permit term, a designee will conduct quarterly visual

stormwater assessments at the designated stormwater drainage point, DR01. During quarters

without a rainfall event resulting in discharge, the monitoring event will be rescheduled to occur

during the predominately rainy season (July September). During adverse weather conditions

which may prevent collection of a sample (i.e. local flooding, high winds, electrical storms, or other

dangerous situations), the monitoring event will be substituted with the next storm event. . Refer

to Section 5.2 herein for a description of procedures for quarterly visual stormwater assessments.

4.3.2 State- or Tribal-Specific Monitoring

None required.

4.3.3 Benchmark Monitoring

Sector N facilities, in the MSGP, are exempt from benchmark monitoring if they only receive source-

separate recyclable materials primarily from non-industrial and residential sources such as DRCC.

Sector P has no benchmark monitoring requirements in the MSGP.

4.3.4 Impaired Waters Monitoring

Impaired waters monitoring is required upon written notice from the EPA as described in section

6.2.4 Impaired Waters Monitoring Schedule of the MSGP 2015. The DRCC facility will implement

impaired waters monitoring if notified by the EPA.

4.3.5 Substantially Identical Outfall Exception

There are no substantially identical outfalls at the DRCC.

4.4 Schedules and Procedures Pertaining to Corrective Action Conditions that may require corrective action include those that have an immediate threat to

operational.

4.5 Schedules and Procedures Pertaining to Annual Reporting The MSGP 2015 requires an annual report be submitted through the NPDES eReporting Tool (NeT)

by January 30th of each year of permit coverage containing information generated from the past

calendar year.

Appendix L includes an example annual report form. This report form is included in this SWPPP for

reference only; the actual annual report must be submitted through EPAs NeT system which is

accessed through the EPAs central Data Exchange website at https://cdx.epa.gov/.




Annual reports shall include a summary of the previous years routine facility inspections, visual

quarterly stormwater monitoring and any other required stormwater monitoring, corrective action

and documentation.




Section 5: Inspections

Inspections conducted at DRCC facility, are documented on standardized inspection forms. Forms

will be updated to reflect the current conditions at each facility as required. All completed

inspection forms and associated reports will be attached to this SWPPP in the Reports Section

(Appendix L). Two types of inspections that are conducted at the facility include Routine Facility

Inspections and Quarterly Visual Assessment Inspections of Stormwater Discharges.

5.1 Routine Facility Inspections Routine facility inspections must document the findings of your facility inspections and maintained

with the SWPPP (Appendix L). The inspection findings must be summarized in the annual report

per Part 7.5. Document all findings, including but not limited to, the following documentation:

The inspection date and time;

The name(s) and signature(s) of the inspector(s);

Weather information;

All observations relating to the implementation of control measures at the facility, including:

- A description of any discharges occurring at the time of the inspection;

- Any previously unidentified discharges from and/or pollutants at the site;

- Any evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system;

- Observations regarding the physical condition of and around all drainage points,

including any flow dissipation devices, and evidence of pollutants in discharges and/or

the receiving water;

- Any control measures needing maintenance, repairs, or replacement;

Any additional control measures needed to comply with the permit requirements;

Any incidents of noncompliance; and

A signed and certified statement.

Specific areas of the facility to be inspected include:

Maintenance area;

Maintenance fluid storage area;

Metal handling, storage, and disposal areas;

HHW storage area;

Outdoor materials handling and storage areas; and

Areas where spills and leaks have occurred in the past three years.




Include quarterly discharge visual assessments performed during your facility inspection results of

the assessment with the report required in MSGP 2015 Part 3.1.2, as long as all components of both

types of inspections are included in the report.

5.2 Quarterly Visual Assessment of Stormwater Discharges Once per annual quarter for the entire permit term a stormwater sample must be collected from

each drainage point (except as noted below) and conduct a visual assessment of each of these

samples. These samples are not required to be collected consistent with 40 CFR Part 136

procedures but must be collected in such a manner that the samples are representative of the

stormwater discharge. Guidance on monitoring is available at

http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/npdes/stormwater/EPA-Multi-Sector-General-Permit-MSGP.cfm.

EXCEPTIONS: For climates with irregular stormwater runoff, facilities located in an area

where limited rainfall occurs during many parts of the year (e.g., arid or semi-

arid climate), samples for the quarterly visual assessments may be distributed

during seasons when precipitation runoff occurs.

The visual assessment must be made:

Of a sample in a clean, colorless glass or plastic container, and examined in a well-lit area;

On samples collected within the first 30 minutes of an actual discharge from a storm event. If

it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of discharge, the sample

must be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and you must document

why it was not possible to take the sample within the first 30 minutes. In the case of

snowmelt, samples must be taken during a period with a measurable discharge from your

site; and

For storm events, on discharges that occur at least 72 hours (three days) from the previous

discharge. The 72-hour (three-day) storm interval does not apply if you document that less

than a 72-hour (three-day) interval is representative for local storm events during the

sampling period.

You must visually inspect or observe the sample for the following water quality characteristics:

Color

Odor

Clarity (diminished)

Floating solids

Settled solids

Suspended solids

Foam

Oil sheen

Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution




Whenever the visual assessment shows evidence of stormwater pollution, initiate the corrective

action procedures found in Section 4.

Documentation

Document the results of the visual assessments and maintain this documentation (Appendix L).

The visual assessment findings must be included in the annual report per MSGP 2015 Part 7.5. The

documentation of the visual assessment must include, but not be limited to:

Sample location(s);

Sample collection date and time, and visual assessment date and time for each sample;

Personnel collecting the sample and performing visual assessment, and their signatures;

Nature of the discharge (i.e., runoff or snowmelt);

Results of observations of the stormwater discharge;

Probable sources of any observed stormwater contamination; and

If applicable, why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes.

Whenever the visual assessment shows evidence of stormwater pollution, initiate the corrective

action procedures found in Section 4.




Section 6: Documentation to Support Eligibility Considerations

under Other Federal Laws

6.1 Documentation Regarding Endangered Species. In accordance with the requirements of MSGP 2015, an eligibility screening was performed with

regards to endangered species. The eligibility screening followed the procedures outlined in

Appendix E of the MSGP 2015. Appendix G of this SWPPP contains a memorandum describing the

eligibility screening process and findings. The DRCC was found to be eligible for coverage under the

MSGP 2015 with respect to endangered species under Criterion C.

6.2 Documentation Regarding Historic Properties In accordance with the requirements of MSGP 2015, an eligibility screening was performed with

regards to historic properties. The eligibility screening followed the procedures outlined in

Appendix F of the MSGP 2015. Appendix H of this SWPPP contains a memorandum describing the

eligibility screening process and findings. The DRCC was found to be eligible for coverage under the

MSGP 2015 with respect to historic properties under Criterion A.

6.3 Documentation Regarding NEPA Review (if applicable) The DRCC is not subject to any New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) as described in Section

1.1.2.5 of MSGP 2015; therefore, NEPA process review is not required.
