No stormwater PPC Plan for facilities subject to SARA Title Ill, Section 313 requirements for chemicals that are classified as "Section 313 water priority chemicals" shall be effective unless it has been reviewed by a Registered Professional, Engineer and certified to by such Professional Engineer. A Registered Professional Engineer shall recertify the PPC Plan every year thereafter. This certification may be combined with the required annual evaluation in D.4.. By means of these certifications, the engineer, having examined the facility and being familiar with the provisions of this part, shall attest that the storm water PPC Plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. Such certification shall in no way relieve the owner 34

Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluations and Recordkeeping Qualified personnel shall conduct site compliance evaluations at least-once a year. Such evaluations shall include:
- a. Visual inspection and evaluation of areas:contribdting to a-stormwater discharge for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Measures to reduce pollutant loadings shall be evaluated to determine whether they are adequate and properly implemented in accordance with the terms of the permit or whether additional control measures are needed.
Structural stormwater management measures; se ldiment and erosion control measures, and other structural pollution prevention meas~ures identified in the Plan shall be observed to ensure that they are operating.correctly. A visual inspection of equipment'needed to implement the Plan, such as spill response equipment, shall be made.
- b.
Based on the results of the inspection, the description of potential pollutant sources identified in the PPC Plan, and pollution prevention measures and controls identified in.the Plan shall be revised as appropriate within 15 days of such inspection and shall provide for implementation of any changes to the Plan in a timely manner, but in no case more than 90 days after the inspection.
- c.
A report. summarizing the'scope'of the inspecti'n, 'usingthe DEP's-Anriual Inspection form shall be completed and made available-upon request arnd retained as part of the PPC Plan for at least one year after coverage under this permit terminates, E. Stormwater Sampling and Reporting
- 1. If stormwater samples are required by this permit, they shall be collected as grab samples during the first 30 minutes, but no laterthan one-hour of the discharge resulting from a storm event that occurs at least.72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> from the previously measurable'storri event.,
- 2. When the discharger is unable. to collect samples due to adverse climatic conditions, the discharger must submit,,in lieu of.sampling data, aýldescripfion of'why samples could not be collected, including available documentation of. the event. This sampling waiver may notbe used more than once during a two-year period.
- 3. Stormwater monitoring results.shall be summarized on a DMR form and the DEP's "Additional Information for the Reporting of Stormwater Monitoring" form.
- 4.
When a facility has t6o or more outfalls that mayi reasonably be believed:to discharge substantially identical effluents, based on a consideration of features and activities' within the area drained by the outfall, the permittee may'sample one such"outfail and. report'that the quantitative data also applies to
-the substantially identical outfalls.
,Outfall 002 has been determined to be, representative, of Outfalls 004 and 022. Outfall 008 has been determined to be representative of Outfalls 006, 007; 009. Outfallý019ý has been determined to be representative of Outfalls 013, 014, 015, 016, 017 and 018.
F. Stormwater-Best Management Practices (BMiPs)
The permittee shall implement at least the following BMPs:
e Manage sludge in accordance with all applicable permit requirements; temporarily collect and store sludge in enclosed containers or tanks.
Store chemicals in secure and covered areas on impervious surfaces away from storm drains.

3800-PM-WSFRO011 Rev. 10/2010 Permit Permit No. PA0051926 A2 Efficiently use herbicides for weed control; where practicable, investigate use of the least toxic herbicides; do not apply during windy conditions.
Do not wash parts or equipment over impervious surfaces that wash into storm drains.
o Conduct Good Housekeeping Practices.
Implement infiltration techniques, including infiltration basins, trenches, dry wells, porous pavements, etc., wherever practicable.
