SECTION 1.0: FACILITY DESCRIPTION AND CONTACT

INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 Regulatory Background

Section 402(p) of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires that operators of facilities, including Federal installations, obtain coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program for stormwater discharge associated with industrial activities. The purpose of the NPDES permit program is to reduce pollutant loading in stormwater runoff from industrial activities to protect water quality in surface waters of the United States.

On November 16, 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) promulgated final regulations for permit applications associated with stormwater discharges from industrial activities (USEPA Stormwater regulations; 55 CFR 47989, 56 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 12097, 56 CFR 56547, 57 CFR 11393, 40 CFR Parts 122 through 124; and additional related regulations promulgated by State and local regulatory agencies; USEPA, 1990, p. 47990).

Under these regulations, federal facilities such as Joint Base Charleston – Weapons Station (JB CHS- Weapons) were required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) on or before October 1, 1992 to obtain permit coverage for discharges of stormwater from industrial activities. Facilities were also required to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The purpose of the SWPPP is to identify the industrial activities at JB CHS-Weapons and outline the best management practices (BMPs) or, control measures, that will be implemented to comply with and maintain coverage under the NPDES permit program.

In the State of South Carolina, the NPDES permit program is administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). The current NPDES South Carolina Industrial General Permit (IGP) (SCR000000) became effective on January 1, 2011 and expires on January 1, 2016. The new IGP has adopted the format and the requirements of the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) which was issued by the US EPA on September 29, 2008. The MSGP format and requirements represents a significant update to the previous industrial permit. This SWPPP has been updated and rewritten to follow the MSGP format and incorporate all new requirements of the IGP.

1.1.2 Purpose

The purpose of this SWPPP:

1) Identify the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT) who will implement this

SWPPP;

2) Identify the regulated industrial activities conducted at JB CHS-Weapons that are exposed to rain fall;

3) Identify the sources of potential pollutants associated with the industrial activities;

4) Document the control measures used to minimize or eliminate pollutants from stormwater discharges; and

5) Ensure compliance with the requirements and general conditions of the IGP.

November 2013 Page 1-2

1.1.3 How to Use This SWPPP

The documentation in this SWPPP to address the IGP requirements is divided into five Volumes to present the information efficiently. The following is a description of the contents of each of the five Volumes:

Volume 1 – Executive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (this Volume): This Volume summarizes much of the general information about JB CHS-Weapons and describes the methods that will be used to comply with the the IGP requirements including how the SWPPP will be administrated.

Volume 1 serves as a summary of this information and references the other four Volumes for the specific information they contain.

Volume 1 provides much of the basic information for JB CHS-Weapons required by the IGP including;

• The facility description and contact information;

• General Location Map and a description of stormwater drainage from JB CHS-Weapons into the surrounding receiving waters;

• Identification of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT) members and their responsibilities;

• An overview of the industrial activities at JB CHS-Weapons;

• A summary of pollutant sources at JB CHS-Weapons and the control measures used to keep pollutants out of stormwater discharge;

• Monitoring requirements and the schedule for monitoring;

• Inspection requirements and the schedule for inspections;

• Administrative SWPPP requirments such as;, procedures for reviewed and modifications, availability of the SWPPP and documentation requirements; and

• The SWPPP certification page.

Volume 2 – Activity-Specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Chapters:

Industrial activities have been identified at numerous facilities located across JB CHS-Weapons. A separate Activity-Specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Chapter (Chapter) has been developed for each facility to provide the facility manager(s) with the fundamental information needed to establish and maintain compliance with the IGP requirements in a simplified format. Each Chapter provides the detailed description of the industrial activity(ies), potential pollutant sources; control measures and BMPs used to prevent pollution, and a risk rating for each regulated industrial activity site. Each chapter also includes a detailed facility site map and inspection photos.

Volume 3 – Stormwater Inspection Program:

Volume 3 details the various inspections required by the IGP. The inspections include; the Routine Facility Inspections, Quarterly Visual Assessments of Stormwater Discharges, and Annual Comprehensive Site Inspections. Blank templates are provided for each inspection type.

Volume 4 – Stormwater Monitoring Plan:

Volume 4 references sampling methodology and rationale for the various types of stormwater monitoring required by the IGP, monitoring schedule requirements and guidance for monitoring locations.

November 2013 Page 1-3

Volume 5 – Additional SWPPP Documentation:

Volume 5 serves as a repository for the additional documentation requirements as listed in Part 5.4 of the IGP. These required documents include a copy of the Notice of Intent (NOI) and a copy of the IGP.

Volume 5 also contains place holders for other plans that are specific to JB CHS-Weapons that may prove helpful in the implementation of the SWPPP such as; information to support eligibility considerations under other Federal Laws (e.g., Endangered Species, Historic Properties, and/or National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA]).

Collectively, the above five Volumes represent the JB CHS-Weapons SWPPP. An updated and complete copy of all five volumes and their attachments will be maintained at the 628th Civil Engineering Installation Management Environmental Compliance (628th CEIEC) to serve as a reference for the members of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT) and to meet IGP SWPPP availability requirements (Part 5.3) in the event of a site visit or inspection by SCDHEC or by the local MS4 Operator. It is intended that copies of the relevant portions of the SWPPP will be provided to the points of contact (POCs) at each of the tenant organizations who are responsible for implementing the SWPPP at their facility where industrial activities are conducted.

This SWPPP is written in response to the requirements of the IGP. Each section of this SWPPP briefly states or paraphrases the IGP requirments as they apply to JB CHS-Weapons. There are numerous citations throughout this SWPPP that reference the specific (Part) of the IGP. It is recommended that the language in the IGP be reviewed as needed, to clarify the basis for each control measure documentaed in this SWPPP. A copy of the IGP is provided in Volume 5.

1.1.4 Referenced Plans

This SWPPP has been written as a standalone plan to meet the requirements for content in accordance with (IAW) the IGP. There are other documents, reports and plans which have been developed for JB CHS-Weapons that provide pertinent background information and similar stormwater pollution prevention strategies that are referenced by this SWPPP. These plans can be useful and should be consulted to select and improve control measures.

For example, spill prevention and response for release of petroleum products is detailed in the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan and the Facility Response Plan (FRP). These plans should be considered when selecting, implementing and maintaining the control measures prescribed by this SWPPP where the industrial activities include handling of petroleum products regulated under Chapter 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112.

The following list provides the names of the other plans and documents which may provide useful information for the SWPPT during review and update of the SWPPP.

• Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan;

• Facility Response Plan;

• Hazardous Waste Management Plan;

• Pollution Prevention Control Plan;

• Pesticide Management Plan;

1.4 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM

The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT) is assigned the primary responsibility to implement this SWPPP. In general, implementation of the SWPPP requires performing and documenting the inspections and the stormwater monitoring required to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing control measures used to prevent or eliminate pollutants from contaminating stormwater discharge associated with each area of regulated industrial activities at JB CHS- Weapons.

Industrial activities are located across JB CHS-Weapons and are managed by 24 different tenant organizations. It is important that the SWPPT members understand their individual responsibilities and their interdependence on the other team members to efficiently implement this SWPPP. This will require coordination between the representatives of each tenant organization and the 628th CEIEC staff to schedule, execute and document the inspections and monitoring that are outlined in this SWPPP. Implementation duties also include review and revision of the SWPPP to suit changing conditions at the JB CHS-Weapons and to meet the requirements of the IGP.

The SWPPT is comprised of command level personnel, representatives from the various tenant organizations that conduct industrial activities regulated by the IGP within their area and environmental compliance personnel from the 628th CEIEC.

Generally, command level personnel have the authority to certify that the SWPPP will be implemented and to institute policy to affect its implementation. The representatives from the various tenant organizations will have the responsibility to implement the SWPPP for the industrial activities identified within their area(s) of responsibility as identified in this SWPPP. The 628th CEIEC personnel shall provide guidance to the SWPPT for implementation procedures and also have administrative responsibilities to maintain and update a complete copy of the SWPPP.

The manner in which this SWPPP will be implemented and the responsibilities for each SWPPT member are based on the significant number of industrial activities that are spread across the relatively large and diverse number of tenant organizations at JB CHS-Weapons. This SWPPP identifies industrial activities at 24 areas which are managed by various tenant organizations that have responsible charge over the day to day activities within each of these areas. An Activity- Specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Chapter has been developed for each area. A list of the 24 areas with a reference to the Chapter number is shown in Table 2-1 at the end of this section.

Effective implementation of the tasks outlined by this SWPPP for all of the industrial activity areas will require significant coordination between the tenant organizations and the 628th CEIEC environmental compliance staff. The responsibility to implement many of the tasks outlined in this SWPPP have been delegated to each tenant organization. These responsibilities include performing and documenting the inspections and the stormwater monitoring as outlined in this SWPPP.

A Point of Contact (POC) shall be identified by each tenant organization. The POC shall be responsible to ensure that the tasks outlined in this SWPPP are conducted within his/her area(s) of responsibility. Duties will include; providing the information in the SWPPP to the facility manager(s) with authority over the day to day work activities within each area where industrial

November 2013 Page 1-8 activities are conducted. The POC shall also ensure that the inspections and stormwater monitoring tasks are scheduled, performed and documented. Specific information related to the inspections and the stormwater monitoring required for each industrial area is detailed in Volume 3 and Volume 4, respectively.

A listing of the SWPPT members and their titles is provided in the organizational chart below. A listing of the responsibilities associated with the each position is described the in the sections that follow.

Industrial activities at some of the facilities are defined by the USEPA industrial activity categories discussed in Section 2 of this Volume. The specific activities at JB CHS-Weapons which fall under each industrial category are described in detail in the Activity-Specific Chapters located in Volume

2. A list of the areas where industrial activities occur is provided in Table 2-1 at the end of this section.

1.6 GENERAL LOCATION MAP

The SWPPP contains two types of maps: the General Location Map and Site Maps. The General Location Map shows an overview of JB CHS-Weapons and the surrounding area and receiving waters. The General Location Map also shows the locations of all industrial areas identified in this SWPPP, the location of all stormwater outfalls, and the location of existing water quality monitoring stations. The locations of the monitoring stations were verified on the Water Quality Information Tool available online at http://www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/tmdl/. A full size copy of the General Location Map is available in Attachment A of Volume 1.

1.6.1 Facility Drainage

Stormwater drainage is divided into 65 drainage basins over the 17,221 acre area of JB CHS- Weapons. Approximately 7,000 acres are developed for administrative and industrial use by the military and for family housing. The remaining estimated 10,000 acres are heavily forested and managed as fish, wildlife and outdoor recreation areas. Twenty-five (25) of the outfalls discharge stormwater from developed areas and the remaining 40 outfalls discharge stormwater from forested, unoccupied areas of the Base. Only 15 outfalls are discernible point sources. The remaining 50 outfalls are open channel swales.

The stormwater drainage information presented above is based on the previous study entitled, Final Report For Stormwater Discharge Studies, dated February 1993. The study includes a list of the 65 drainage basins, their size, delineation and the run-off expected from each basin. In addition, the study lists the stormwater drainage structures located throughout the Base. A list of the drainage basins in which regulated industrial activities are conducted is presented in Table 1 in Volume 3 of this SWPPP.

1.6.2 Receiving Waters

All stormwater discharged from JB CHS-Weapons flows into one of three receiving waters: the Cooper River, Foster Creek or Goose Creek. Based on the approved 2010 303d list of impaired water bodies, SCDHEC has identified impaired waters within the immediate area of the Base http://www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/tmdl/

November 2013 Page 1-13 along the Wando River. Monitoring sites MD-42 and MD-152 are impaired for mercury and monitoring site CSTL-124 is impaired for dissolved oxygen. These impairments have not resulted in an EPA approved or established total maximum daily load (TMDL) for these constituents. According to Part 2.2.2.2 of the IGP, JB CHS-Weapons indicates monitoring requirements for stormwater discharges from the industrial activities at the Base that flow into these impaired water bodies. However, the IGP addresses monitoring for the current listed impairments as follows. Part 6.2.4 states that monitoring is not required for dissolved oxygen where the level of DO is below the stream standard. Additionally, Part 6.2.4.2.f states that monitoring is not required for water bodies impaired for mercury since it is measured in fish tissue and not the water column.

During the annual review of the SWPPP, JB CHS-Weapons will check the 303d list for new impairments or for EPA approved or established Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). The 303d list of impaired waters is updated every two years. JB CHS-Weapons will be required to implement monitoring and the appropriate control measures if new impairments on subsequent 303d lists match the potentially polluting materials (PPMs) identified at the facilities that conduct industrial activities and discharge into the impaired water.

1.7 SITE MAP

The Site Maps provide detailed information for each industrial area identified in the SWPPP. These maps are found in their respective Activity-Specific Chapters in Volume 2. The following is a list of the information provided on each of these Site Maps per the IGP.

• The size of the property in acres, or with a scale shown;

• The location and extent of significant structures and impervious surfaces;

• Directions of stormwater flow (shown by arrows);

• Locations of all existing structural control measures;

• Locations of all receiving waters in the immediate vicinity of your facility, indicating if any of the waters are impaired and, if so, whether the waters have TMDLs established for them;

• Locations of all stormwater conveyances including ditches, pipes, and swales;

• Locations of potential pollutant sources;

• Locations where significant spills or leaks have occurred;

• Locations of all stormwater monitoring points;

• Locations of stormwater inlets and outfalls, with a unique identification code for each outfall (e.g., Outfall 002, Outfall 003, etc), indicating if one or more outfalls are being treated as “substantially identical”, and an approximate outline of the areas draining to each outfall;

• Municipal separate storm sewer systems, and where stormwater discharges to them;

November 2013 Page 1-14

• Locations and descriptions of all non-stormwater discharges;

• Locations of the following activities where such activities are exposed to precipitation:

o Fueling stations;

o Vehicle and equipment maintenance and/or cleaning areas;

o Loading/unloading areas;

o Locations used for the treatment, storage, or disposal of wastes;

o Liquid storage tanks;

SECTION 2.0: SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES

2.1 INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY AND ASSOCIATED POLLUTANTS

Part 5.1.3 of the IGP requires the SWPPP to provide the following documentation for the areas where industrial activities are exposed to stormwater and to describe areas from which allowable non-stormwater discharges are released. This documentation is provided for each industrial area identified in this SWPPP in the Activity Specific Stormwater Chapters found in Volume 2.

• A description of the primary industrial activities (and co-located activities where applicable);

• A list of pollutants associated with the industrial activity including significant materials that have been exposed to stormwater in the three years preceding the date when this SWPPP was last amended;

• The location(s) where spills and leaks have occurred in the three years preceding the date when this SWPPP was last amended;

• Documentation of an evaluation for the presence of non-stormwater discharge and that all unauthorized non-stormwater discharge(s) have been eliminated;

• Summarize all stormwater sampling data collected during the term of the previous South Carolina NPDES Industrial Permit (January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2010);

2.1.1 Industrial Activity Categories

This section presents an overview of the industrial activities at JB CHS-Weapons that are regulated under the IGP.

The US EPA has defined 11 categories of industrial activity. Industrial stormwater discharge is regulated for 10 of these categories under the IGP as defined in S.C. R.61- 9. 122.26(b)(14)(i)-(ix); and (xi), excluding stormwater associated with construction activity (IGP, Appendix A).

2.1.2 IGP Sector-Specific Industrial Activities

The IGP also identifies additional compliance requirements for thirty (30) sector-specific industrial activities (Part 8). The 30 industrial sectors are further divided into sub-sectors to more accurately associate a given industrial activity with the proper sector-specific requirements based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes (IGP, Appendix D).

Based on the recent site assessment performed in February 2013 of each of the industrial activities, JB CHS-Weapons conducts the following sector-specific industrial activities:

• Sector K - Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, or Disposal Facilities

• Sector N - Scrap Recycling Facilities: scrap recycling and waste recycling facilities, and source-separated recycling facilities.

• Sector P - Land Transportation and Warehousing: railroad transportation, local and highway

November 2013 Page 2-17 passenger transportation, motor freight transportation and warehousing, and petroleum bulk stations and terminals.

• Sector Q - Water Transportation

A listing of the facility sites that conduct industrial activities is provided in Table 1 of Volume 2. The listing also references subsector and SIC codes applicable to each facility.

2.1.2 Pollutant Sources

Pollutant sources that can affect stormwater quality are typically chemicals used to support the industrial activities at the numerous facilities across JB CHS-Weapons. Most pollutant sources at JB CHS-Weapons are related to vehicle maintenance; loading, unloading or storage of potentially polluting materials (PPMs) exposed to rainfall. The most common activities that have pollutant sources at JB CHS- Weapons include the following:

• Maintenance shops

• Vehicle wash racks

• Fueling points

• Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)

• Waste accumulation points

• Loading/unloading areas

• Outside storage points

• Chemical process lines

2.2 SPILLS AND LEAKS

The IGP requires the SWPPP to identify the activities where spills and leaks of potential pollutants could occur that could contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges and the corresponding outfalls that would be affected by such spills or leaks. This documentation is provided for these activities within the Activity-Specific Chapters in Volume 2.

Documentation must also be provided for past significant spills or leaks of oil or toxic or hazardous pollutants that actually occurred or that drained into a stormwater conveyance within the 3 year period prior to the date that this SWPPP was updated (November 2013). This information must include; the date; the location, type of material spilled, quantity spilled, the outfall(s) affected and the control and cleanup procedures implemented to remedy the spill.

2.3 NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES DOCUMENTATION

Each industrial area must be inspected for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (NSWD). NSWDs fall into two categories; allowable and unauthorized.. Pollution prevention control measures and BMPs must be implemented to prevent pollutants from entering into allowable NSWDs or from discharges covered under another NPDES permit.

The following is a listing of allowable NSWD per Part 1.1.3 that are authorized under the IGP;

a. Discharges from fire-fighting activities;

b. Fire hydrant flushings;

November 2013 Page 2-18

c. Potable water, including water line flushings;

d. Uncontaminated condensate from air conditioners, coolers, and other compressors and from the outside storage of refrigerated gases or liquids;

e. Irrigation drainage;

f. Landscape watering, provided all pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer have been applied in accordance with the approved labeling;

g. Pavement wash waters where no detergents are used and no spills…
