Introduction and Background
MacDill AFB developed its own directive, MACDI-32-701, Storm Water Pollution Prevention (6 CES/CEIE 2005), to implement the requirements of the Air Force and provide additional guidance with respect to the storm water permits issued to MacDill AFB by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The SWPPP provided herein aligns with these military directives and the federal and state regulations on which they have been developed.
Scope and Objective
The SWPPP is intended to be a comprehensive document, covering all Sector S industrial operations at MacDill AFB, with the objective of minimizing the impact of storm water discharges from industrial sites to surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. This was completed by identifying sources of pollution potentially affecting the quality of storm water discharges associated with MacDill AFB's industrial activities and describing and ensuring implementation of practices to minimize and control pollutants in storm water discharges from industrial areas.
The SWPPP has been organized as follows:
Section 4.0 General Roles and Responsibilities and Appendix A identifies and describes the MacDill AFB SWPPT and their responsibilities for implementing and maintaining this SWPPP.
Section 1.0 Overview and Scope and Section 7.2 Potential Pollution Sources identifies the areas of Sector S industrial activity, describes MacDill AFB's drainage/watershed characterization, and discusses facility material inventory and the potential for storm water contamination.
Section 7.2 Storm Water Control Measures describes protecting water quality through the use of BMPs.
Section 7.4 Inspections describes the evaluation and inspection procedures required by the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) to ensure continued effectiveness of the SWPPP.
Regulatory Background
In October 2000, EPA authorized the FDEP to implement the NPDES storm water permitting program in the State of Florida, thus the FDEP adopted EPA NPDES regulations as Chapter 62- 621, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
The NPDES regulations require MacDill AFB to obtain authorization from the FDEP for discharges of storm water to any surface water (canals, ditches, ponds) and waters of the U.S. (Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay). MacDill AFB has submitted to the FDEP a Notice of Intent (NOI) to discharge storm water from industrial areas into its municipal separate storm sewer system and waters of the U.S. The FDEP has issued MacDill AFB two NPDES permits; MSGP for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activities, Permit Number FLR05E128, and a Generic Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4), Permit Number FLR04E059.
As part of the MSGP, the EPA has established 29 industrial sectors related to the type of industrial activity that is performed at the facility. The industrial activity sector that applies to MacDill AFB under their MSGP is Sector S: Air Transportation Facilities. Sector S is defined in the Federal Register (FR) Volume 60, No. 189, as "airports, airport terminals, airline carriers, and establishments engaged in servicing, repairing, or maintaining aircraft and ground vehicles, equipment cleaning and maintenance (including vehicle and equipment rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication) or deicing/anti-icing operations." (FR, page 50998). To protect waters of the U.S., MacDill AFB is required to develop and implement a SWPPP designed to assist industrial facility users with preventing the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. This SWPPP was developed and revised to comply with these regulations.
MacDill AFB's SWPPP is updated internally on an annual basis. The MacDill AFB SWPPP was prepared and revised to meet the guidelines as set forth in the MSGP Permit Part IV, D, and E, FAC 62-621, the EPA Federal Register Volume 60, No. 189, pages 50804-51319, and the military directives as described above.
Facility Description
MacDill AFB is the home of the 6th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) and is located on the southern tip of the Interbay Peninsula, eight miles south of downtown Tampa, in Hillsborough County, Florida. Appendix M illustrates the location of MacDill AFB. The base is comprised of approximately 5,695 acres of land situated on the Interbay Peninsula, bordered to the east by Hillsborough Bay, to the south and west by Tampa Bay, and to the north by light industrial and residential buildings. The base includes almost 1,000 acres of wetlands and provides habitat for hundreds of different water and land-dwelling animals, including 16 protected or endangered species.
The mission of the 6th ARW is to be America's premier mobility team providing world-class air refueling, responsive airlift and airbase support to Headquarters U.S. Central Command, Headquarters U.S. Special Operations Command, and 51 other mission partners that call MacDill home. The 6th ARW is organized into five groups that carry out this mission; Wing Staff Agencies, 6th Maintenance Group, 6th Medical Group, 6th Operations Group, and 6th Mission Support Group.
Watershed Identification
MacDill AFB is located on a flat coastal plain and receives an average of 48 inches of rainfall per year. The storm water generated from this rainfall either infiltrates into the shallow soils in grassy and unimproved areas or flows into the installation's storm water drainage system. MacDill AFB's storm sewer system, permitted as an FDEP Phase II MS4, consists of an extensive network of inlets, drainage pipes, swales, and canals. The MS4 receives both non- industrial and industrial storm water runoff, ultimately discharging into either Tampa Bay on the west and south side of the base or Hillsborough Bay on the east side of the base. Based on flow patterns and conveyance systems, the base has been divided into eleven separate drainage areas designated as Drainage Area 001 through Drainage Area 011 as illustrated in Appendix N. There are seven drainage basins that include Sector S industrial activity and discussed within this SWPPP; Drainage Areas 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 007, and 010. Drainage Area 009 includes MacDill AFB's bulk fuel storage area, which has its own NPDES permit and corresponding SWPPP. The remaining drainage areas, 006 and 008, are non- industrial areas.
Within each drainage area are "internal" outfalls (example: 001A), defined as outfalls discharging into MacDill AFB's MS4, and "final" outfalls (example: Canal 001), defined as outfalls discharging into waters of the State (Tampa Bay or Hillsborough Bay).
These outfalls have been identified and labeled on facility site maps to allow facility users to understand the effects that their activities may have on a particular discharge to Tampa Bay or Hillsborough Bay and assists facility users with identifying measures and controls to prevent discharges other than storm water. Appendix N illustrates the industrial storm water drainage map for MacDill AFB and illustrates each of the seven industrial Drainage Areas. The Sector S facility site maps associated with each Drainage Area, as indicated in the Industrial Facility Identifications Table, are presented in Appendix C through Appendix I.
Receiving Waters
The receiving waters for storm water outfalls at MacDill AFB are Tampa Bay to the west and south and Hillsborough Bay to the east. In general, storm water flows toward one of the eight tidal canals located at MacDill AFB or directly into either Tampa Bay or Hillsborough Bay. Primary construction of existing facilities at MacDill AFB occurred before the advent of storm water quality guidelines and regulations. As a result, the existing storm water system design was primarily intended for the efficient collection and discharge (flood attenuation) of storm water runoff, without treatment. In most cases, the storm water from the industrial facilities discharges into six of the eight canals that are directly connected to Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay. Facilities designed and constructed after storm water regulations were implemented and enforced were/are required to design and construct storm water treatment detention areas, typically permitted by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), prior to discharging into the canals.
In accordance with Section 303(d) of the CWA, Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay are both considered Impaired Water Bodies for the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. Impaired water bodies are defined as those waters that, despite implementation of pollution control mechanisms, do not meet water quality standards as set forth by FDEP and the EPA. The EPA has established federally recognized total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations for these nutrients in order to reduce pollutant loadings and enable the water body to meet water quality standards. In an effort to meet the EPA requirements, MacDill AFB has teamed with the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Consortium, whom has developed equitable nitrogen waste load allocations across all sectors and sources of nitrogen loading, collectively meeting the federally- recognized nitrogen TMDL for Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay. The nitrogen waste load allocation for MacDill AFB is monitored as a requirement of their Phase II MS4 permit.
Implementation of the BMPs included within this SWPPP assist with maintaining the water quality of these impaired water bodies.
Outfall Descriptions

Installation Supplement
Training
Employee training is essential to the successful implementation of a pollution prevention program. It is the responsibility of supervisors/managers operating in industrial facilities to provide personnel initial awareness training on the pollution prevention BMPs implemented for their particular work areas. In addition to activity-specific BMPs, general BMPs to be implemented at all industrial facilities include:
Good housekeeping;
Appropriate spill response measures;
Proper handling of hazardous materials and waste;
Recognizing situations that could lead to storm water contamination; and Protection of the storm sewer system associated with the facility.
In accordance with the SWPPP guidelines, MacDill AFB performs annual training to facility POCs (usually facility manager or unit environmental coordinator [UEC]) to instruct and inform designated personnel the various components and goals of the SWPPP.
As part of the annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation (CSCE) (refer to Section 7.4 Inspections), 6 CES/CEIE provides general storm water pollution prevention awareness training. The 6 CES/CEIE discusses with personnel current industrial activities being performed at the facility and through inspection determines if the BMPs are adequately implemented. If deficiencies are observed, the 6 CES/CEIE recommends corrective actions that must be taken for the facility activity to align with the SWPPP. As part of the general awareness training the 6 CES/CEIE reviews the general principles of the SWPPP and a storm water pollution prevention brochure is distributed to reacquaint the facility users with MacDill AFB's MSGP and SWPPP requirements.
6 RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING
Installation personnel as identified in this SWPPP implement measures to ensure compliance with applicable permit recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
