ABOUT THIS PLAN

This installation-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was developed using the U.S. Air Force’s (AF) standardized Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) template. This plan is not an exhaustive inventory of all storm water requirements and practices. Where applicable, external resources, including Air Force Instructions (AFIs); AF Playbooks; and federal, state, local, and permit requirements are referenced.

Each section of this SWPPP begins with standardized, AF-wide “common text” language that addresses AF, Department of Defense (DoD), and federal requirements, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) requirements. This common text language is restricted from editing to ensure that it remains standard throughout all plans. The common text language is maintained and updated by the designated Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) with assistance from the Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR), as appropriate. Immediately following the AF-wide common text sections are Installation sections. The Installation sections contain installation-specific content to address state, local, and installation-specific requirements. Installation sections are unrestricted and are maintained and updated by installation or Section personnel.

This document is optimized to be accessed and viewed electronically. The eDASH website at https://cs2.eis.af.mil/sites/10040 is the primary communication tool for AF EMPs.

This AF standardized template may differ in format and organization from other templates developed by regulatory agencies or other organizations. If applicable, a cross-reference table of sections is included below to simplify review.

Installation Supplement

Background

The original SWPPP was prepared to comply with federal and state regulations established for the protection of storm water runoff from industrial activities. CH2M HILL prepared the initial plan under contract to the Corps of Engineers, in September 1995. Phase 1 fieldwork was conducted during the period of November 6 to November 16, 1995. Phase 2 site assessments were conducted during the week of April 29 to May 10, 1996. The Plan has been reviewed and updated annually since April 1999 by the contractor providing environmental support to the Air Force (AF).

Installation Overview

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is located in Brevard County on a barrier island on the East Coast of Florida. The installation lies on a narrow strip of land separated from the mainland by the Banana River. The installation encompasses approximately 16,187 acres, and major features include 81 miles of paved roads, a centralized Industrial Area, a 10,000-foot skid strip, and three (3) active wharves; Trident Wharf, Poseidon Wharf, and the Air Force Wharf. The SWPPP content reflects USSF responsibilities.

The overall site map of CCSFS is in Appendix A as SWPPP Activity Map.

Overview of Industrial Sectors

Based on the original field assessment and subsequent revisions, it has been determined that the activities conducted at CCSFS fall into one or more of the following MSGP industrial sectors:

• Water Transportation Facilities (Sector Q) o Sector Q applies to facilities which have vehicle (vessel) maintenance shops and/or equipment cleaning operations. It includes facilities engaged in foreign or domestic transport of freight or passengers in deep sea or inland waters; marine cargo handling operations; ferry operations; towing and tugboat services; and marinas (facilities commonly identified as SIC Code Major Group 44). (Federal Register, page 51206).

• Air Transportation Facilities (Sector S) o Air Transportation Facilities applies to facilities which have industrial activities from vehicle maintenance areas, equipment cleaning areas, or deicing areas located at air transportation facilities. The conditions of this sector apply to airports, airport terminals, airline carriers, and establishments engaged about:blank 10/100 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 which conduct the above described activities. (Federal Register, page 50998 S.1.a, Federal Register, page 51215 S.3) o Other operations include, but are not limited to:

Ground vehicle and equipment maintenance and servicing, storage units of all materials (e.g., used oils, hydraulic fluids, spent solvents and waste aircraft fuel), fuel servicing activities or other operations, conducted in support of the airport fuel system, aircraft and/or runway deicing/anti-icing operations.

o The operator(s)/owner(s) (the airport authority) of the storm water outfalls from the airport is responsible for compliance with all terms and conditions of this or other NPDES permits applicable to those outfalls. Storm water pollution prevention plans developed separately for areas of the airport facility occupied by tenants of the airport that are regulated under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14) as a storm water discharge associated with industrial activity shall be integrated into the storm water pollution prevention plan for the entire airport facility.

The records include:

about:blank 23/100

CCSFS Spill Response Report and Database. This data is maintained in the USAF EASIER Spill Database. Historic spill information is maintained in the Patrick F2F spill database. The SWPPT must review these records and, if necessary, make the appropriate revisions to the SWPPP. Also, if recommended by the SWPPT, additional equipment may need to be provided to prevent reoccurrence.

Reports to the National Response Center. In the event of a reportable quantity discharge or any significant pollution event, the National Response Center will be notified. The Installation Management office 45 CES/CEI, excluding commercial contractors operating under an executed lease with the USSF, shall make all regulatory notifications concerning reportable quantities. No other organization is authorized to contact regulatory agencies concerning reportable quantity spills.

Inspection and Maintenance Activities

Documentation of all inspections, whether routine or detailed, is a good preventive maintenance technique. Analysis of inspection records allows for early detection of potential problems. The records of inspection and maintenance activities will enable the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMP program, including equipment and facility operations.

Discharge Monitoring Reports

CCSFS is regulated under Sectors Q and S of the MSGP. Consequently, a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form must be completed and submitted for monitoring results obtained in years two (CY 2022) and four (CY 2024) of the five (5) years MSGP coverage cycle. Records are maintained electronically in the Patrick F2F compliance share file location and WET. Copies of the DMR are publicly available on the FDEP EzDMR website.

7 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURES AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

about:blank 25/100

7.1 Potential Pollution Sources

Areas at the installation where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water are described in the Installation Supplement below.

Documentation of significant spills is maintained in the AF EASI database. A link to EASI is available in the references section of this plan and required information may be maintained in an appendix.

Installation Supplement

Activities, Associated Pollutants, and Potential Spills

To help identify contamination concerns for the potential pollutants identified (and for future potential pollutants), a description of the general materials found at CCSFS is presented below and is meant to be a cross-reference.

Oil, Gasoline, and Other Petroleum-based Products

Motor oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, bearing grease, machine oil, and other lubricating oils contain hazardous chemicals that can adversely affect the quality of storm water runoff.

Paints, Solvents, and Degreasing

Paint pigment or color can cause high turbidity in storm water runoff. Additionally, paint may contain heavy metals, suspended solids, and organic materials that may affect oxygen demand or aquatic toxicity. Solvents and degreasing agents may be toxic to aquatic life.

Antifreeze, Brake Fluid, and Detergents

These materials can affect toxicity and lower the dissolved oxygen of storm water runoff. A biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test may be used to measure potential adverse effects on the dissolved oxygen of the receiving stream.

Sediment and Erosion

Erosion introduces sediments to storm water runoff. Sedimentation or siltation of receiving streams can cause aquatic toxicity and loss of habitat for aquatic species. Total suspended solids (TSS) tests can be used to measure the concentration of sediments and other particulate matter in storm water.

Pesticides and Herbicides about:blank 26/100

Pesticides and herbicides are applied at CCSFS. These chemicals shall only be applied by certified technicians who understand the potential for toxicity to aquatic organisms and non-target species and the proper applications.

Allowable NSWD

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program provides for certain allowable NSWD (Federal Register, page 50813, S1, 9/29/1995). Allowable NSWD may include firefighting activities, fire hydrant flushing to meet testing and water quality requirements, air conditioning condensate and landscape irrigation. These NSWDs are reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to ensure they meet all discharge criteria and authorized by local environmental office.

Unauthorized NSWD and Summary of Sampling Data

NSWD not authorized for coverage under the MSGP shall be identified during periodic facility site inspections and reported as soon as possible to 45 CES/CEIE. Alternative material management options will be identified and additional training will be provided to the facility personnel by the SWPPT to coach acceptable material handling and disposal practices. Structural changes will be identified by the SWPPT members and programmed for design and construction funding through the installation work control and/or AF 332 process. NSWD Assessment and Certification is found in Appendix K.

Sampling Data Summary

Existing dischargers must summarize all storm water discharge sampling data collected at the facility. The summary shall include a narrative description (and may include data tables/figures) that adequately summarizes the collected sampling data to support identification of potential pollution sources at the facility. New dischargers must provide a summary of storm water runoff data they may have.

Please refer to the individual industrial sector narratives in Section 11 for site-specific sampling data summaries.

BMP Overview

EPA and FDEP have determined the development and implementation of BMPs is an integral part of a comprehensive storm water management program. BMP implementation improves water quality by reducing pollutants in storm water discharges. CCSFS personnel must understand the BMP concept to safeguard storm water quality. The following information is a general overview of BMPs.

BMPs are measures or practices used to reduce pollution entering storm water. BMPs may take the form of a process, activity, or physical structure.

Many are simple and can be put in place immediately; others can be more complicated and costly to implement.

BMP development and implementation requires continuous monitoring and improvement. This SWPPP establishes protocols for implementing the BMP program. CCSFS's BMP program includes the following five phases:

Planning and Organization: Identify key personnel and responsibilities. Review available documentation on facilities and applicable regulations.

Assessment: Review operations to determine the risk of storm water contamination.

Identification: Identify BMPs that can be implemented to reduce storm water contamination.

Implementation: Implement recommended BMPs, along with employee training, to lower the risk of potential storm water contamination.

Evaluation and Monitoring of Effectiveness: Monitor storm water quality to ensure compliance with the permit conditions. Conduct recommended annual site evaluations. Review and revise the SWPPP based on the effectiveness of existing BMPs and develop new BMPs, as needed, to improve discharge quality.

This section of the SWPPP presents guidance to CCSFS personnel to identify BMPs. Once BMPs are identified and presented for implementation in this SWPPP they become a requirement of the storm water permit. Hence, CCSFS is required to meet the implementation of its own recommendations. This "self-policing" approach allows the facility a wide range of flexibility as long as it follows certain federal and state guidelines for BMP development.

BMPs can be broadly classified as baseline or advanced. Baseline BMPs tend to be inexpensive, relatively simple, and applicable to a wide variety of industries or activities. Advanced BMPs are directed at reducing pollution from specific sources or activities.

Baseline BMPs

Baseline BMPs shall be implemented for each site covered in this plan, as applicable.

Good Housekeeping: Practices include proper labeling of significant materials, maintain clean, neat and well organized work areas, dispose of wastes promptly, and making the above activities a priority.

Preventive Maintenance: Storm water management devices such as an oil/water separator (OWS) and catch basins shall be inspected and maintained in good operating condition. Preventive maintenance shall address items that have the potential to directly affect storm water quality. For example, hydraulic hoses on heavy equipment shall be replaced at appropriate intervals to prevent the rupture of a deteriorated hose and subsequent release of contaminants to the environment.

Visual Inspections: Qualified personnel shall be identified who will perform the necessary visual inspections for each site. Inspection results and recommendations shall be tracked to ensure that the required follow-up actions are performed. Records shall be kept of all inspections. Inspections are covered in detail in Section 7.4 of this plan.

Spill Prevention and Response: Areas where spills may occur shall be identified and the corresponding drainage direction determined. Spill response procedures and requirements are contained in the Installation Emergency Management Plan (IEMP), Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan and in SLD 45 Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). Appropriate spill remediation materials must be on hand, and personnel shall be trained on how to use them. Spill notification and reporting procedures must be followed and documented.

Erosion and Sediment Control: Most regulated sites at CCSFS do not have erosion and sediment control problems. However, site personnel need to check their sites for erosion and sediment control problems as needed.

Management of Runoff: This baseline BMP involves diverting, reusing, or treating runoff. Applicable runoff controls for CCSFS may include diversion curbs to prevent run-on/runoff for certain areas and vegetative swales or filter strips. This baseline BMP also can include the prevention of drainage problems such as ponding and flooding.

Personnel Training: Personnel, both military, contractor and civilian, shall receive adequate training to help them develop the proper pollution prevention practices and knowledge needed to implement this SWPPP. Adequate training typically can be provided internally through workshops about:blank 29/100 directed by personnel from Environmental Quality or other appropriate organization. Personnel also shall be given adequate time in their daily operations schedule to fulfill their pollution prevention duties. At a minimum, personnel shall receive training covering good housekeeping, spill prevention and response, and material management practices.

Recordkeeping and Reporting: Records shall be kept to document compliance with this plan and to document significant occurrences. Spills and associated remediation measures must be documented. Storm water quality sampling records and inspection records shall be kept on file. The findings, recommendations, and actions from inspections must be documented. These records shall be maintained in the Patrick F2F compliance files. Records must be kept for at least 3 years from the date of sample, measurement, evaluation, inspection, report, or application.

Advanced BMPs

Advanced BMPs may be needed to further reduce the potential for storm water contamination. Although they are generally of a higher cost and complexity than baseline BMPs, they can also be an extension of "common sense" baseline BMPs that are specific to a particular facility. Advanced BMPs can include measures for the following:

Prevention: Minimizing releases (spills or leaks) to storm water by passive management practices and cleanup of releases before they can affect storm water.

Containment: Minimizing contact with storm water via distinct separation of process area to keep pollutants from co-mingling with storm water discharges.

Mitigation: Cleanup and treatment of existing residues or discharges that may contaminate storm water.

Disposal: Disposal or reclamation of identified wastes, raw materials or residues that can contaminate storm water.

BMPs are developed based on the risk of a pollutant coming in contact with storm water. As BMPs are evaluated and identified, members of the SWPPT must be aware of the high-risk areas for storm water contamination, which include the following:

Loading and unloading operations Outdoor storage activities Outdoor manufacturing or processing activities Significant dust from particulate-generating activities Onsite waste disposal, treatment or storage practices Fueling stations Vehicle, aircraft, and equipment maintenance and cleaning areas Liquid storage tanks Hazardous waste sites (any areas where hazardous wastes or materials are handled)

Description of Activity-Specific BMPs about:blank 30/100

Many sites have common activities at CCSFS that are covered by this SWPPP. The following recommended BMPs are appropriate for a majority of the sites. Site-specific BMPs for each activity covered in this plan are presented in the applicable sections. Site-specific BMPs are based on conditions observed at the time of the site visit, whereas the generic BMPs presented in this section apply to all facilities.

Proper Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL) Storage Facility: Provisions shall be made to provide covered storage for POL and related products such as antifreeze. Secondary containment also shall be provided in designated storage areas. Suitable POL storage structures include prefabricated hazardous material storage containers, spill pallets stored under a roof or covered with tarpaulins, or storage within a building that provides adequate secondary containment.

Sorbents: Each facility shall keep sorbents prominently located in the shop or adjacent to designated fueling or materials handling areas. Containers for sorbents shall be clearly labeled. Containers must be provided and clearly labeled for used sorbents.

Develop and Implement Fueling SOPs: These SOPs shall be implemented for all fuel tankers and fuel stations. Sorbents shall be kept on fuel tankers and at fuel stations. Fuel station operators and tanker truck drivers shall be trained in proper spill response procedures. The appropriate spill response contacts and telephone numbers shall be clearly posted at all fuel stations and in all tanker trucks.

Vehicle Positioning: Vehicles prone to small leaks and spills shall be parked within a contained area, until appropriate remedial measures can be taken. Where there is a potential for a significant leak or spill of flammable liquid (such as fuel tankers) the vehicle shall not be allowed to discharge to the sanitary sewer and shall be parked as far away as possible from storm sewers and surface drainage ways. The condition of transient equipment or vehicles brought into facilities shall be inspected upon delivery. Leaking or damaged equipment shall be promptly scheduled for repair or replacement. Spill kit materials such as sorbents, shall be utilized to prevent releases to the environment until the equipment is removed or repaired.

Develop and Implement Materials Handling SOPs: Personnel involved in materials handling shall be adequately trained in appropriate spill response measures. POLs and liquid hazardous materials and hazardous waste shall always be stored in an area that provides secondary containment and that is covered. Personnel shall be trained to store significant materials in a manner that will not expose the materials to storm water.

Inspections: Regular inspections are needed to verify that structural and procedural BMPs are properly implemented. When new BMPs are implemented more frequent inspections may be needed. However, less frequent inspections may be made after coordination with and approval by

SWPPT.

Develop and Implement Wash Rack: Vehicles and equipment shall be washed inside the curbed portion of a wash rack instead of in open paved or grass areas. Trash and solid waste shall be removed before vehicles and equipment are washed. This will prevent the trash and debris from clogging the outlet grates in the wash rack catch basin. It is prohibited to dispose of any materials (such as waste oil, waste fuel, or solvents) at a wash rack.

Signs: Post signs as needed to remind personnel of the requirements in that particular area. Signs are not substitutes for training but rather augment an effective training program. Signs are particularly useful in areas where transient personnel may perform activities (at a fueling station, for example).

Develop and Implement SOPs for Exposed Diked Areas: Several activities at CCSFS have concrete containment structures for storage of materials that are exposed to storm water. These structures typically have one or more drain valves. These valves must remain closed and locked under normal operating conditions. After a rainfall, the collected water in the structure must be observed and checked visually for oil sheen or other signs of contamination. If no signs of contamination are noted, then the drain valves can be unlocked and opened to allow the collected water to drain.

Once the water has drained, the valves must be closed and locked.

If signs of contamination are observed in the collected water, sorbent booms or rags shall be used to clean up the collected water. Contact the SWC for assistance in resolving the cleanup and disposal of contaminated water. After the water has been cleaned, the valves can be unlocked and opened to allow the water to drain. Once the water has been drained, the valves must be closed and locked. If remediation measures fail to produce acceptable results, the collected water must be pumped into appropriate containers, then closed, labeled, and disposed of, per SLD 45 Hazardous Waste Management Plan. In all cases where contamination is observed, the source of contamination shall be identified and addressed.

CCSFS Water Sampling and Monitoring Plan

The CCSFS Water Sampling and Monitoring Plan incorporating the Patrick F2F SOP for NPDES MSGP Visual and Analytical Sampling, provides technical and regulatory guidance to CCSFS regarding the site-specific monitoring requirements of the MSGP.

Sampling and Monitoring

For the activities at CCSFS, FDEP has established "benchmark" concentrations that trigger additional monitoring. If benchmark concentrations are exceeded, it may result in future numeric limitations being imposed. For each industrial sector, benchmark (also called "cut-off") concentrations are established for various pollutants that are expected to be present in the storm water discharge from each activity. These benchmark concentrations are not effluent limitations, but are considered target concentrations for CCSFS to achieve through implementation of BMPs.

Quarterly monitoring and annual reporting are required for specific parameters for certain sites at CCSFS…
