There shall be no detectable amount in the discharge from this outfall of any priority pollutant, other than i chromium and zine contained in chemicals added for cooling tower maintenance. As of the effective date of I this permit, the permittee has stated it does not use chemicals for cooling tower maintenance that contain chromium or zine; therefore, this outfall does not contain enromim or zine effluent limitations as required by 40 CFR 423.15. If the permittee, in the future, uses chemicals for cooling tower maintenance which do contain chromi m or tinc, the permittee shall apply, prior to the use of the chemicals, for a modification 4 of this permit so as to include the appropriate effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for chromi m and/or rinc.

Analyses are to be performed by emperometric titration, orin residual chlorine electrode, or other EPA spproved methods. $anpting at Outfall 004 shall be performed within the appropriate detention time of the chlorination dosage.

2. The pH (Reporting Code 00400) shall not be less than 6.5 S.U. nor greater than 9.0 S.U. and shall be monitored 2/ week by grab sample.

Other areas of the f acility (those not ackfressed in paragraphs (1), (2) from which rmoff which maycontainSection313waterprioritychemicatsorspills(3)or(4)),313waterpriority of Section chemicals could cause a discharge shall incorporate the necessary drainage or other control features to prevent discharge of spilled or inproperty disposed material and ensure the mitigation of pollutants in rmoff or teachate.

(7) Preventive maintenance and housekeeping. Att areas of the facility shall be inspected at specific intervals for leaks or conditione that could lead to discharges of Section 313 water priority chemicals or direct contact of ', tors water with raw materials, intermediate materials,

. waste materiets or pro & cts. In parth.< ar facility piping, , storage tanks and bins i pressurevessels,processandmateriethandhneequipment, materialbulkstorageareas$all I De examined for any conditions or failures which could tause a discharge. Inspection shall '

include examination for leaks support or fomdation f ailure, or other forms of deterioration or non, containment.

wind blowing,Inspection corrosion, intervals shall be specified in the plan i and shall be based on design and rational experience. Different areas may require l i different inspection intervals, ere a leak or other condition is discovered which may result I in significant releases of Section 313 water priority chemicals to the drainage system, '

corrective action shall be insendiately taken or the unit or process shut down mtit corrective action can be taken. When a leak or non containment of a section 313 Water priority chemical has occurred, contaminated soll, debris, or other material must be pronptly removed and disposed in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements and as described in the plan.

(8) Facility security. Facilities shall have the necessary security systems to prevent accidental or intentional entry which could cause a discharge. Security systems described in the plan shall address fencing, lighting, vehicular traffic controt, and securing of equipment and buildings.

(9) Training. Facility employees and contractor personnel using the facility shall be trained in and informed of preventive measures at the facility. Employee training shalt be cordacted at intervsts specified in the plan, but not less than once per year, in matters of pollution control laws and regulations, and in the storm water poliution prevention plan and the particular features of the facility and its operation which are designed to minimize discharges ,

of Section 313 water priority chemicats. The plan shall designate a person who is accountable  !

for spill prevention at the f aellity and who will set up the necessary spill emergency procedures and reporting requirements so that spitts and emergency releases of Section 313 water priority chemicals can be isolated and contained before a discharge of a section 313 water priority chemical can occur. Contractor or temporary personnel shatI be informed of facility operation and design features in order to prevent discharges or spitts from occurring.

(10) Engineering Certificaticn. No storm water pollution prevention plan for facilities sLbject to i SARA Title III, Section 313 requirements for chemicals which are classified as 'Section 313 '

1 water priority chemicats' shall be effective to satisfy the requirements of part IV.D.7 of this permit unless it has been reviewed by a Registered Professional Engineer and certified to by such Professional Engineer. A Registered Professional Engineer shall recertify the plan every three years thereafter. 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

. pollution prevention plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practices.

Such certifications shall in no way relieve the owner or operator of a facility covered by the l plan of their duty to propere and fully inplement such plan.

8. Additional Requirements for Salt Storage. Storage piles of satt used for delcing or other consaercial or industrial purposes and which generate a storm water discharge associated with industrial activity which is discharged to a waters of the United States shall be enclosed or covered to prevent exposure to precipitation,ffective years of the e date of this permit.exceptPiles for exposure resulting do not need from adding to be enclosed or removing or covered where materials from the pile within storm water from the pile is not discharged to waters of the State.
