Need help? ESSG can help!

 

If you need a permit, ESSG will:

​

1. Submitting your Storm Water Notice of Intent (NOI).

2. Conduct an onsite or remote assessment of the facility to identify:

   • Potential contaminates,

   • Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team,

   • Best Management Practices

   • Compliance objectives

3. Develop your site-specific written Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) for your facility/site. This is completed in accordance to regulatory requirements that includes:

   • your facility Emergency Contact Information;

   • a Site Assessment to determine how the regulations affect your facility;

   • a determination of Existing Management Practices and required changes to comply with the plan;

   • the specific Training required to follow the plan;

   • a determination of the Process Water Usage and the appropriate alterations needed;

   • an implementation schedule for Annual Site Compliance;

   • a listing of your Pollution Prevention Team;

   • an Auto-Cad Site Map that shows such items as chemical and other storage, ground (gravel, grass, etc.), adjacent streets and/or water ways, and the pattern rain water flows from your property;

   • a Geological map that displays a survey of area waterways, grades, longitude and latitude, etc.;

   • an evaluation of your Material Inventory to determine how they affect your facility under this regulation (if you are an active ESSG Chemical Inventory Analysis Chemical Screen Client);

   • an evaluation on any Materials Exposed to Rain Water;

   • a List of Significant Spills and Leaks (in excess of the Reportable Quantities);

   • a Non-Storm Water Discharge Assessment to address all the programs not directly related to the Storm Water Program that have a bearing on it, such as Good Housekeeping, Spill Prevention and Response, Material Handling and Storage, etc.;

   • a Pollutant Source Identification to list the items for the Pollution Prevention Team to review (environmental/health and safety incidents, announcing any changes to the plan, etc.);

   • a description of the Best Management Practices (BMP) selected for your plan; and

   • a summary of your Recommended Storm Water Management Measures as they pertain to the regulations.

4. Provide Training after the SWP3 is finalized. The training consists of one or a combination of:

   • Online training via SafetyU.com;

   • Online training session (via an online meeting and/or online video) with the members of your Pollution Prevention Team that will cover the general requirements of a storm water plan, and cover the site-specific requirements of your plan.
