Inspection RequirementsQuarterly Routine Site Inspections:

Identification of facility personnel trained to inspect at appropriate intervals, (inspection frequency shall be stated in SWP2 Plan, but at a minimum quarterly inspections shall be performed), designated equipment and storage areas for raw material, finished product, chemicals, recycling, equipment, paint, fueling and maintenance; and loading, unloading, and waste management areas. A set of tracking or follow-up procedures shall be used to ensure that appropriate actions are taken in response to the inspections. The inspection report shall include completion dates for correction of all deficiencies. Records of inspections shall be maintained on-site or in a readily accessible location for at least three years after the date of the inspection.

NOTE: A log to document a description of incidents (such as spills, or other discharges, actions taken and signature of inspector), along with other information which may impact the quality and quantity of stormwater discharges needs to be developed and maintained. Reporting procedures, inspections and maintenance activities shall be developed and included in the SWP2 Plan.		Annual Visual Exam:

perform and document a visual examination of a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity from each identified stormwater outfall. Visual examination reports shall be maintained onsite and be made available for KDHE & EPA inspection upon request. Each report shall include the date and time, name of the person performing examination, nature of discharge (runoff or snow melt), visual quality of the discharge:

a. Color;
b. Odor;
c. Clarity;
d. Floating solids;
e. Settled solids;
f. Suspended solids;
g. Foam;
h. Oil sheen; and
i. Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution.		Annual Comprehensive Exam:

Visual inspection of areas contributing to a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the stormwater drainage system. Evaluation of measures to reduce pollutant loadings to determine whether they are adequate and properly implemented in accordance with the terms of the permit or whether additional control measures are needed. A visual evaluation as to the availability of equipment needed to implement the plan, such as spill response equipment and containment drums, shall be made to determine it is functioning properly and drums are not corroded.

A report kept on site summarizing the scope of the evaluation, personnel making the evaluation, the date(s) of the evaluation, major observations relating to the implementation of the stormwater pollution prevention plan, and any actions taken shall be made and retained as part of the stormwater pollution prevention plan.

The report shall include resolution to any non-compliance or changes in the site not identified or controlled as determined from the comprehensive site evaluation including the modification of the SWP2 Plan within 90 days or an alternative period approved by KDHE.

Mapping Requirements1) Site and Drainage Map: a site map identifying: the scale of the map; the location of significant structures; the outlined drainage areas, direction of flow, approximate acreage of each stormwater outfall; stormwater conveyances and area inlets for each outfall; all authorized non-stormwater discharge locations; name of the first water body the discharge is directed to; the location of significant materials exposed to precipitation or runoff; storage tanks; scrap yards and general refuse areas; fuel storage and distribution areas; vehicle and equipment maintenance and storage areas; loading/unloading areas; waste treatment, storage or disposal areas; short and long term material storage areas (including but not limited to: supplies, construction materials, plant equipment, oils, fuels, used and unused solvents, cleaning materials, paint, water treatment chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides); landfills; construction sites; stock piles; areas where spills have occurred and residues remain; surface water bodies; existing structural control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff (such as bermed areas, grassy swales, etc.); historic sites; and T & E species habitat.

NECNo exposure means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm- resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. Also, the facility may be subject to additional discharge conditions and/or alternate general or individual permit requirements for construction stormwater or non-stormwater discharges which may require separate or additional permit coverage.
