1.
STANDARD PROVISIONS
Duty to Comply
The facility operator must comply with all of the conditions
of this General Permit. Any General Permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the
Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act and is grounds for
(a) enforcement action for (b) General Permit termination,
revocation and reissuance, or modification or (c) denial of a
General Permit renewal application.
The facility operator shall comply with effluent standards or
prohibitions established under Section 307(a) of the CWA for
toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations
that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if this
General Permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the
requirement.
2.
General Permit Actions
This General Permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or
terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the
facility operator for a General Permit modification,
revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification
of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay
any General Permit condition.
If any toxic effluent standard or prohibition (including any
schedule of compliance specified in such effluent standard or
prohibition) is promulgated under Section 307(a) of the CWA
for a toxic pollutant which is present in the discharge and
that standard or prohibition is more stringent than any
limitation on the pollutant in this General Permit, this
General Permit shall be modified or revoked and reissued to
conform to the toxic effluent standard or prohibition, and
the facility operator so notified.
3.
Need to Halt or Reduce Activity not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a facility operator in an
enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt
or reduce the general permitted activity in order to maintain
compliance with the conditions of this General Permit.
4.
Duty to Mitigate
The facility operator shall take all responsible steps to
minimize or prevent any discharge in violation of this
General Permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely
affecting human health or the environment.
-475.
Proper Operation and Maintenance
The facility operator at all times shall properly operate and
maintain any facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by
the facility operator to achieve compliance with the
conditions of this General Permit and with the requirements
of storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs). Proper
operation and maintenance also include adequate laboratory
controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures.
Proper operation and maintenance may require the operation of
backup or auxiliary facilities or similar systems installed
by a facility operator when necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of this General Permit.
6.
Property Rights
This General Permit does not convey any property rights of
any sort, or any exclusive privileges, nor does it authorize
any injury to private property or any invasion of personal
rights, nor any infringement of Federal, State, or local laws
or regulations.

Duty to Provide Information
The facility operator shall furnish the Regional Water
Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board), State Water
Resources Control Board (State Water Board),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), or local
storm water management agency, within a reasonable time
specified by the agencies, any requested information to
determine compliance with this General Permit. The facility
operator shall also furnish, upon request, copies of records
required to be kept by this General Permit.
8.
Inspection and Entry
The facility operator shall allow the Regional Water Board,
State Water Board, U.S. EPA, and local storm water management
agency, upon the presentation of credentials and other

INSTRUCTIONS
TO COMPLY WITH STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
WATER QUALITY ORDER NO. 97-03-DWQ
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES)
GENERAL PERMIT NO. CAS000001
Who Must Submit
The facility operator must submit an NOI for each industrial
facility that is required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S.EPA) regulations to obtain a storm water permit. The
required industrial facilities are listed in Attachment 1 of the
General Permit and are also listed in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations Section 122.26(b)(14).
The facility operator is typically the owner of the business or
operation where the industrial activities requiring a storm water
permit occur. The facility operator is responsible for all
permit related activities at the facility.
Where operations have discontinued and significant materials
remain on site (such as at closed landfills), the landowner may
be responsible for filing an NOI and complying with this General
Permit. Landowners may also file an NOI for a facility if the
landowner, rather than the facility operator, is responsible for
compliance with this General Permit.
How and Where to Apply
The completed NOI form, a site map, and appropriate fee must
be mailed to the State Water Resources Control Board
(State Water Board) at the following address:
State Water Resources Control Board
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 1977
Sacramento, CA 95812-1977
Attn: Storm Water Permitting Unit
Please Note: Do not send the original or copies of the NOI
submittal to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional
Water Board). The original NOI will be forwarded to the Regional
Water Board after processing.
Do not send a copy of your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) with your NOI submittal. Your SWPPP is to be kept on
site and made available for review upon request.
-2When to Apply
Facility operators of existing facilities must file an NOI in
accordance with these instructions by March 30, 1992. Facility
operators of new facilities (those beginning operations after
March 30, 1992) must file an NOI in accordance with these
instructions at least 14 days prior to the beginning of operations.
Once the completed NOI, site map, and appropriate fee have been
submitted to the State Water Board, your NOI will be processed and
you will be issued a receipt letter with a Waste Discharge
Identification (WDID) Number. Please refer to this number when you
contact either the State or Regional Water Boards.
Fees
The total annual fee is $
SWRCB
.
Checks should be made payable to:
Change of Information
If the information provided on the NOI or site map changes, you
should report the changes to the State Water Board using an NOI
form. Section I of the line-by-line instructions includes
information regarding changes to the NOI.
Questions
If you have any questions completing the NOI, please call the
appropriate Regional Water Board (Attachment 2) or the
State Water Board at (916) 341-5538.
NOI LINE-BY-LINE INSTRUCTIONS
Please type or print your responses on the NOI. Please complete
the NOI form in its entirety and sign the certification.
Section I--NOI STATUS
Check box "A" if this is a new NOI registration.
Check box "B" if you are reporting changes to the NOI (e.g., new
contact person, phone number, mailing address). Include the
facility WDID #. Highlight all the information that has been
changed.
Please note that a change of information does not apply to a change
of facility operator or a change in the location of the
facility. These changes require a Notice of Termination (NOT) and
submittal of a new NOI and annual fee. Contact the State Water
Board or Regional Water Boards for more information on the NOT Form
and instructions.
Regardless of whether you are submitting a new or revised NOI, you
must complete the NOI in its entirety and the NOI must be signed.
-3Section II--Facility Operator Information
Part A:
The facility operator is the legal entity that is
responsible for all permit related compliance
activities at the facility. In most cases, the
facility operator is the owner of the business or
operation where the industrial activity occurs.
Give the legal name and the address of the person,
firm, public organization, or any other entity that
is responsible for complying with the General
Permit.
Part B:
Check the box that indicates the type of operation.
Section III--Facility Site Information
Part A:
Enter the facility's official or legal name and
provide the address. Facilities that do not have a
street address must provide cross-streets or parcel
numbers. Do not include a P.O. Box address in Part
A.
Part B:
Enter the mailing address of the facility if
different than Part A. This address may be a P.O.
Box.
The contact person should be the plant or site
manager who is familiar with the facility and
responsible for overseeing compliance of the General
Permit requirements.
Part C:
Enter the total size of the facility in either acres
or square feet. Also include the percentage
of the site that is impervious (areas that water
cannot soak into the ground, such as concrete,
asphalt, and rooftops).
Part D:
Determine the Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) code which best identifies the industrial
activity that is taking place at the facility. This
information can be obtained by referring to the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual prepared
by the Federal Office of Management and Budget which
is available at public libraries. The code you
determine should identify the industrial activity
that requires you to submit the NOI. (For example,
if the business is high school education and the
activity is school bus maintenance, the code you
choose would be bus maintenance, not education.)
Most facilities have only one code; however,
additional spaces are provided for those facilities
that have more than one activity.
Part E:
Identify the title of the industrial activity that
requires you to submit the NOI (e.g., the title of
SIC Code 2421 is Sawmills and Planing Mills,
General). If you cannot identify the title, provide
a description of the regulated activity(s).
-4Section IV--Address for Correspondence
Correspondence relative to the permit will be mailed occasionally.
Check the box which indicates where you would like such
correspondence delivered. If you want correspondence sent to
another contact person or address different than indicated in
Section II or Section III then include the information on an extra
sheet of paper.
Section V--Billing Address Information
To continue coverage under the General Permit, the annual fee must
be paid. Use this section to indicate where the annual fee
invoices should be mailed. Enter the billing address if different
than the address given in Sections II or III.
Section VI--Receiving Water Information
Provide the name of the receiving water where storm water discharge
flows from your facility. A description of each option is included
below.
1.
Directly to waters of the United States: Storm water
discharges directly from the facility to a river, creek, lake,
ocean, etc. Enter the name of the receiving water (e.g.,
Boulder Creek).
2.
Indirectly to waters of the United States: Storm water
discharges over adjacent properties or right-of-ways
prior to discharging to waters of the United States.
Enter the name of the closest receiving water (e.g.,
Clear Creek).
Section VII--Implementation of Permit Requirements
Parts A and B:
Check the boxes that best describe the status
of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and the Monitoring Program.
Part C:
Check yes or no to questions 1 through 4. If
you answer no to any question, you need to
assign a person to these tasks immediately.
As a permit holder you are required to have an SWPPP and Monitoring
Program in place prior to the beginning of facility operations.
Failure to do so is in direct violation of the General Permit. Do
not send a copy of your SWPPP with your NOI submittal.
Please refer to Sections A and B of the General Permit for
additional information regarding the SWPPP and Monitoring Program.
Section VIII--Site Map
Provide a "to scale" drawing of the facility and its immediate
surroundings. Include as much detail about the site as possible.
At a minimum, indicate buildings, material handling and storage
areas, roads, names of adjacent streets, storm water discharge
points, sample collection points, and a north arrow. Whenever
-5possible limit the map to a standard size sheet of paper
(8.5"
x 11" or 11" x 17"). Do not send blueprints unless you are sending
one page and it meets the size limits as defined above.
A location map may also be included, especially in cases where the
facility is difficult to find, but are not to be submitted as a
substitute for the site map. The location map can be created from
local street maps and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle
maps, etc.
A revised site map must be submitted whenever there is a
significant change in the facility layout (e.g., new building,
change in storage locations, boundary change, etc.).
Section IX--Certification
This section should be read by the facility operator. The
certification provides assurances that the NOI and site map were
completed by the facility operator in an accurate and complete
fashion and with the knowledge that penalties exist for providing
false information. It also requires the Responsible Party to
certify that the provisions in the General Permit will be complied
with.
The NOI must be signed by:
For a Corporation: a responsible corporate officer (or
authorized individual).
For a Partnership or Sole Proprietorship:
or the proprietor, respectively.
a general partner
For a Municipality, State, or other non-Federal Public Agency:
either a principal executive officer or ranking elected
official.
For a Federal Agency: either the chief or senior executive
officer of the agency.

ANNUAL REPORT
DESCRIPTION OF BASIC ANALYTICAL PARAMETERS
The Industrial Activities Storm Water General Permit (General Permit) requires you to analyze storm water samples for at least
four parameters. These are pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Specific Conductance (SC),and Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
Oil and Grease (O&G) may be substituted for TOC. In addition, you must monitor for any other pollutants which you believe to be
present in your storm water discharge as a result of industrial activity and analytical parameters listed in Table D of the General
Permit. There are no numeric limitations for the parameters you test for.
The four parameters which the General Permit requires to be tested are considered indicator parameters. In other words,
regardless of what type of facility you operate, these parameters are nonspecific and general enough to usually provide some
indication whether pollutants are present in your storm water discharge. The following briefly explains what each of these
parameters mean:
pH is a numeric measure of the hydrogen-ion concentration. The neutral, or acceptable, range is within 6.5 to 8.5. At values less
than 6.5, the water is considered acidic; above 8.5 it is considered alkaline or basic. An example of an acidic substance is vinegar,
and a alkaline or basic substance is liquid antacid. Pure rainfall tends to have a pH of a little less than 7. There may be sources of
materials or industrial activities which could increase or decrease the pH of your storm water discharge. If the pH levels of your
storm water discharge are high or low, you should conduct a thorough evaluation of all potential pollutant sources at your site.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is a measure of the undissolved solids that are present in your storm water discharge. Sources
of TSS include sediment from erosion of exposed land, and dirt from impervious (i.e. paved) areas. Sediment by itself can be very
toxic to aquatic life because it covers feeding and breeding grounds, and can smother organisms living on the bottom of a water
body. Toxic chemicals and other pollutants also adhere to sediment particles. This provides a medium by which toxic or other
pollutants end up in our water ways and ultimately in human and aquatic life. TSS levels vary in runoff from undisturbed land. It
has been shown that TSS levels increase significantly due to land development.
Specific Conductance (SC) is a numerical expression of the ability of the water to carry an electric current. SC can be used to
assess the degree of mineralization, salinity, or estimate the total dissolved solids concentration of a water sample. Because of
air pollution, most rain water has a SC a little above zero. A high SC could affect the usability of waters for drinking, irrigation, and
other commercial or industrial use.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is a measure of the total organic matter present in water. (All organic matter contains carbon)
This test is sensitive and able to detect small concentrations of organic matter. Organic matter is naturally occurring in animals,
plants, and man. Organic matter may also be man made (so called synthetic organics). Synthetic organics include pesticides,
fuels, solvents, and paints. Natural organic matter utilizes the oxygen in a receiving water to biodegrade. Too much organic
matter could place a significant oxygen demand on the water, and possibly impact its quality. Synthetic organics either do not
biodegrade or biodegrade very slowly. Synthetic organics are a source of toxic chemicals that can have adverse affects at very
low concentrations. Some of these chemicals bioaccumulate in aquatic life. If your levels of TOC are high, you should evaluate
all sources of natural or synthetic organics you may use at your site.
Oil and Grease (O&G) is a measure of the amount of oil and grease present in your storm water discharge. At very low
concentrations, O&G can cause a sheen (that floating "rainbow") on the surface of water (1 qt. of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of
water). O&G can adversely affect aquatic life and create unsightly floating material and film on water, thus making it undrinkable.
Sources of O&G include maintenance shops, vehicles, machines and roadways.
If you have any questions regarding whether or not your constituent concentrations are too high, please contact your local
Regional Board office. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has published stormwater discharge
benchmarks for a number of parameters. These benchmarks may be helpful when evaluating whether additional BMPs are
appropriate. These benchmarks can be accessed at our website at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov. It is contained in the Sampling and
Analysis Reduction Certification.

TARP APPLICATION & INSPECTION LOG
Tarps/sheeting must be firmly held in place with sandbags/weights or tarp hold-down systems. If applicable,
seams should be taped or weighted down their entire length, with a 12 to 24 inch overlap to prevent gaps. Tarps
may be joined using Grip Clips or other fastening devices. All sheeting must be inspected periodically after
installation and after heavy storms or wind. Any failures must be corrected immediately and torn tarps replaced.
The failures and corrections such as re-securing tarps or tarp replacements, should be described.
