Industrial General Permit Fact Sheet

The five (5) minimum training BMPs include: ensuring that all team members are
properly trained, preparing the proper training materials and manuals, identifying
which individuals needs to be trained, providing a training schedule, and
maintaining documentation on the training courses and which individuals
received the training.

This General Permit also requires a QISP to be assigned to each facility that
reaches Level 1 status. One purpose of a QISP is to have an individual available
who can provide compliance assistance with these training requirements. The
QISP is responsible for training the appropriate team members. Appropriate
team members are any team members involved in implementing this General
Permit for drainage areas causing NAL exceedances, and any other team
members identified by the QISP that need additional training to implement this
General Permit.

j. NSWDs

Section 2.1.2.10 of the 2008 MSGP requires that unauthorized NSWDs are
eliminated (Part 1.2.3 of the 2008 MSGP lists the NSWDs authorized by the 2008
MSGP). The good housekeeping minimum BMP (Section X.H.1.a.ix of this
General Permit) requires that contact between authorized NSWDs and industrial
areas of the facility be minimized. This General Permit (Section IV) also includes
separate requirements for authorized NSWDs and (Section III) prohibits
unauthorized NSWDs.

k. Material Handling and Waste Management

Section 2.1.2.11 of the 2008 MSGP requires that Dischargers ensure waste,
garbage, and floatable debris are not discharged into receiving waters. The 2008
MSGP identifies keeping areas clean and intercepting such materials as ways to
minimize such discharges. This General Permit (Section X.H.1.d) requires
Dischargers to implement six (6) general BMPs that address material handling
and waste management. These BMPs include: preventing or minimizing
handling of waste or materials during a storm event that could potentially result in
a discharge, containing industrial materials susceptible to being dispersed by the
wind, covering industrial waste disposal containers when not in use to contain
industrial materials, diversion of run-on and storm water generated from within
the facility away from all stock piled materials, cleaning and managing spills of
such wastes or materials (in accordance with Section X.H.1.e of this General
Permit), and conducting observations of outdoor areas and equipment that may
come into contact with such materials or waste and become contaminated.

l. Waste, Garbage and Floatable Debris

Section 2.1.2.11 of the 2008 MSGP requires that waste, garbage, and floatable

debris are not discharged to receiving waters by keeping exposed areas free of

such materials or by intercepting them before they are discharged. Material

handling and waste management BMPs are included in Section X.H.1.d of this

General Permit. Dischargers are required to: prevent handling of waste materials

during a storm event that could result in a discharge, contain waste disposal
