KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 1-1

Section 1 Introduction

This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) has been prepared for Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. This SWP3 addresses the pollution prevention requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) NMR050000 for Industrial Activities, hereafter the Permit.

The three major focuses of this SWP3 are: (1) to identify sources of pollution potentially affecting the quality of storm water discharges associated with industrial activities, (2) to describe and ensure implementation of practices to minimize and control pollutants in storm water discharges from these industrial activities, and (3) to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the Permit.

Industrial activities at KAFB fall under four sectors (K, L, P, and S) as identified in Table 1-1;

sectors not included in Table 1-1 are not applicable to KAFB. These four sectors are co-located at KAFB, and therefore, a single Notice of Intent (NOI) has been submitted to the EPA (Appendix A). The locations of these industrial activities are shown in Figure 3-1.

The information provided in the general sections of this SWP3 is applicable to all covered sectors at KAFB. Information applicable to specific sectors are included in the sector-specific sections. The SWP3 will be posted to the KAFB public website, and a copy will be retained on-site. However, due to restricted information applicable to some sectors, certain information will be withheld from the public versions and is only available on-site upon regulatory request.

This SWP3 addresses the MSGP related activities under the jurisdiction of KAFB. The co-located Department of Energy (DOE) operates independently under MSGP NMR053114. The City of Albuquerque Sunport operates the airfield and runway under MSGP NMR053023.

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 3-1

Section 3 Site Description

3.1 General Site Description

KAFB is located in central New Mexico, southeast of and adjacent to the City of Albuquerque.

The base is roughly 51,500 acres and is entirely located within Bernalillo County at the approximate latitude of 35.0245°N and longitude of 106.3430°W. KAFB has over 20,000 employees on base, including nearly 4,400 military, 3,600 civil service, and 14,500 contractors.

KAFB has over 100 mission partners, to include tenants, research laboratories, three Major Commands, Reserve and National Guard components.

Prior to 1928, the area of KAFB was undeveloped rangeland. In 1928, Albuquerque’s first municipal airport was constructed. In the 1930s, the municipal airport was used for transient fueling and maintenance stops for the military. The Albuquerque Army Air Base was constructed in 1941 for bomber combat crew training, and in 1942, the airfield was renamed Kirtland Field. In 1947, Kirtland Field was re-designated KAFB. Over the years, ongoing training, research, and testing has, and continues, to occur at KAFB.

The topography and vegetation of KAFB varies from flat, paved, and densely developed areas to mountainous desert in the undeveloped areas. The primary regional surface hydrology feature on KAFB is Tijeras Arroyo, which ultimately discharges into the Rio Grande (Figure 3- 1). Surface water across KAFB is conveyed largely by roadways, storm water structures, and ephemeral streams draining towards Tijeras Arroyo or into the interconnected City of Albuquerque storm drain system. In many cases sheet flow and runoff from across the base may pond, evaporate, or infiltrate prior to reaching a distinct surface water body. Storm drainage that enters the City of Albuquerque storm drain system ultimately discharges to the Rio Grande.

3.2 NPDES Permits

The industrial facilities identified for coverage under the Permit fall into Sectors K, L, P, and S (Figure 3-2). The detailed descriptions of these industrial activities and site maps are summarized in the sector-specific sections of this SWP3.

In addition to the MSGP, KAFB maintains a NPDES Construction General Permit (CGP) that regulates storm water management associated with ongoing construction projects. The CGP #NMR100000 expires 16 Feb 2022.

A NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit) regulates potential storm water pollution associated with municipal activities. The MS4 Permit #NMR04A009 expired on 19 December 2019, however, it remains in effect under an administrative continuance.

The NPDES permit No. NM0031216 was issued to Kirtland AFB on 30 September 2019. This permit authorizes the episodic discharge of treated groundwater to the Tijeras Arroyo in the event that discharge locations at the golf course or injection wells are not available for discharge.

Section 4 Potential Pollutant Sources

4.1 Industrial Activities and Storm Water Pollutants

The list of the industrial activities exposed to storm water and the list of potential storm water pollutants associated with each activity are included in the sector-specific sections, Tabs 1–11.

4.2 Significant Spills and Leaks

The specific areas where potential spills and leaks could occur are identified in the sector-specific sections, Tabs 1–11. KAFB maintains documentation of spills that have occurred in the EASIER database through the Civil Engineering (CE) Division.

This SWP3, in conjunction with the Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, Hazardous Material Emergency Planning and Response Plan, the Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) and the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan are in place to prevent the discharge of hazardous substances, oils or illicit material to storm water. Releases and spills in excess of a reportable quantity are addressed according to the notification requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 110, 40 CFR 117, and 40 CFR 302. Plans are reviewed annually and maintained by CE.

4.3 Non-storm Water Discharges

Non-storm water discharges are generally not authorized under this Permit. Exceptions include authorized, non-storm water discharges listed in Section 1.2.2 of the Permit and other non-storm water discharge authorized under a separate NPDES Permit.

KAFB conducted a cross connection survey in 1994. All illicit non-storm water discharges identified by the cross connection survey were eliminated. To further evaluate possible illicit non-storm water discharges, the Water Quality Program conducts ongoing monitoring under the MS4 Permit and Wastewater Discharge Permit.

Several facilities at KAFB contain holding tanks, OWSs or wash racks that drain to the sanitary sewer system regulated by the Wastewater Discharge Permit. The Base Maintenance Contract (BMC), Septic Tank Management Plan and the Oil/Water Separator (OWS) Guidance regulate inspection and maintenance of these units.

KAFB is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires comprehensive assessments of all environmental impacts for proposed projects. Work orders and project proposals are reviewed by the Water Quality Program Manager for potential illicit non-storm water discharges. Environmental personnel and utilities personnel also attend building design reviews to verify no unauthorized discharges or cross connections exist.

Unauthorized discharge investigations will be performed by the PPT. When non-storm water discharges or illicit connections are discovered, a corrective action report will be developed and implemented. Nonstructural corrective actions will be implemented with 48 hours and the SWP3 amended to reflect the implementation of the BMP. In accordance with Part 2.1.2.3.b.iii, structural modifications will be made as soon as possible. If the structural repair is a corrective

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 4-2

action, repairs must be made within 14 days or, if that is infeasible, within 45 days. If the completion of the stormwater control repairs/replacement will exceed the 45 day timeframe, the minimum additional time necessary may be taken to complete the maintenance provided that the EPA Regional office is notified of your intention to exceed 45 days and the rational for the modified maintenance timeframe is documented in the SWP3.

4.4 Salt Storage

Ice Melt is used in addition to sand and gravel on roads and sidewalks when necessary. No chemical deicer is used except on aircraft. The road and sidewalk deicers are stored inside Building 20717 and are not exposed to rain events. Due to the permitted no exposure criteria, these requirements are not addressed in this SWP3.

4.5 Sampling Data

Sampling conducted in the previous permit term included sector specific sampling for the EOD Range (Sector K) and the C&D Landfill (Sector L). Sample parameters reflect the requirements of the previous permit term, and may not be representative of the current sample suite.

Sampling data are summarized below. Due to the arid climate, sampling occurs only during the wet season of July through October. The nature of rainfall events in this climate can result in few qualifying events and limited sampling results.

Section 5 Description of Control Measures

5.1 Non-numeric Technology-based Effluent Limits

Storm water pollution from permitted facilities will be minimized by implementing BMPs. The BMPs include processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and other measures undertaken to prevent or reduce pollutant runoff during storm events. The BMPs at KAFB fall into the following general categories of activities:

• Eliminating and Minimize exposure

• Good housekeeping

• Preventative Maintenance

• Spill prevention and response

• Erosion and sediment control

• Runoff Management

• Employee Training

• Non-storm water discharges

• Dust generation and vehicle tracking

• Record keeping and reporting.

The specific BMPs for each of these categories are summarized in Tables 5-1 through 5-10. The BMPs described below are in general use by KAFB based on recommendations provided by the EPA. Site specific BMPs are outlined in the sector-specific sections, Tabs 1–10.

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 5-2

Table 5-1: Eliminating and Minimizing Exposure Best Management Practices

BMP Description 1 Locate industrial activities and materials inside To the extent practicable locate industrial activities and materials inside, or protect them with storm-resistant coverings to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff.

2 Strategically place outdoor storage materials to minimize storm water pollution

When indoor storage is not practicable, store materials, equipment, and conduct activities in a location where the grading, berming, or curbing of the site prevents storm water contamination and runoff when feasible.

3 Indoor facilities for bulk material storage and equipment maintenance

Limit bulk material storage and equipment maintenance operations to controlled environments, thus greatly reducing risks of contact with storm water. All interior operations are managed through appropriate spill prevention and control.

4 Minimize exposure to potential leaks and spills

Follow the SPCC Plan to ensure that:

• Potential spills and leaks are contained or able to be contained or diverted before discharge,

• Spills and/or leaks are cleaned up promptly using dry methods to prevent the discharge of pollutants,

• Leaky/vehicles and equipment are stored indoors, or if stored outdoors, drip pans and absorbents are used when feasible, and

• Spill/overflow protection equipment is used.

5 Drain fluids Drain fluids from equipment and vehicles that will be decommissioned or will remain unused for extended periods.

6 Vehicle/Equipment Washing Ensure that when practicable, vehicle and equipment washing is conducted at designated washing facilities, or wash racks.

This will aim to accomplish the following:

• Runoff, run-on, and overspray is captured and does not cause storm water pollution, and

• Ensure that all wash water, with the exception of discharges from pavement wash water and routine building wash down described in Part 1.2.2.1 of the Permit, drains to a sanitary sewer, sump, or other proper collection system (i.e., not the storm water drainage system).

Table 5-2: Good Housekeeping Best Management Practices

BMP Description 1 Maintenance bay floor cleaning Maintain clean, dry floors using brooms, shovels, vacuum cleaners or cleaning machines to prevent discharge of potential pollutant materials (including dust) through bay doors to exterior of building.

2 Material storage Maintain material and chemical storage areas in a clean and orderly manner.

3 Label outdoor storage containers

Clearly label all outdoor storage containers with contents (e.g.

“used oil” or “JP-8 for recycle”).

4 Dust control Utilize site inspections to identify dust sources and appropriate dust control techniques to minimize dust exposure when practicable.

5 Dumpster lids Keep all dumpsters under cover or fit with a lid that must remain closed when not in use.

6 General housekeeping Maintain outdoor work spaces and activity areas clean and orderly to ensure that waste, garbage, and floatable debris is not discharged into storm water.

7 Use of absorbent materials for cleaning up liquid spills and leaks

Use absorbent materials (dry sweep) for activities with liquid materials onsite. Absorbent materials can be used in conjunction with curbing to provide cleanup of small spills within a containment area.

8 Centralized parts cleaning stations

Contain the use of solvents and other cleaning compounds to designated areas to promote safer handling and to minimize risks of spills. Waste solvent is removed from the base by a private contractor.

9 Recycle/reuse program Develop ways to recycle, reclaim, and/or reuse materials to reduce the volume of materials brought into the facility and reduce the volume of waste.

10 Used battery recycling Recycle used batteries to promote recycling of materials and reduction of waste.

11 Solvents reuse/control Use an onsite solvent recovery unit to recycle dirty solvent for reuse. Dirty solvent can be used for presoaking dirty parts before cleaning parts in fresh solvent.

12 Designated locations for tanker trucks/materials delivery vehicles where spills can be contained

Use covered loading and unloading areas, such as building overhangs at loading docks, to reduce exposure of materials, vehicles, and equipment to storm water. Minimize storm water run-on by grading pavement away from the facility.

13 Security at critical points where spill can be contained

Implement security measures to help prevent an accidental or intentional release of materials to storm water runoff.

Improve security by training personnel about the specifics of the SWP3. Routine patrol, lighting, and access control are in place at specified facilities.

14 Inventory of potential pollutant materials (PPM)

Conduct an inventory of all PPMs stored and/or used at the facility and track through EESOH-MIS.

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 5-4

Table 5-2: Good Housekeeping Best Management Practices

BMP Description 15 Safety data sheets (SDSs) for all PPMs identified in inventory

Maintain files of SDSs for all PPMs currently stored and/or used at the facility in EESOH-MIS.

16 Formal plan to substitute toxic solvents and chemicals with nontoxic

Eliminate or reduce the number or amount of HazMat and waste by substituting non-HazMat through the Green Procurement Program or recycling materials.

17 Implement controls to ensure that solid materials are not discharged

Implement controls to ensure no solid materials, including floatable debris, are discharged.

18 Routine waste collection and appropriate disposal

Conduct routine solid waste and hazardous waste collection through established operation and disposal procedures.

19 Establish management plans and procedures for operation

Maintain existing management plans and regularly review procedures for accuracy and potential improvement.

20 Repair or replace malfunctioning equipment

Maintain equipment in operational condition, submit equipment for repair, or replace defective equipment.

Inspection procedures for operational equipment are in place.

Table 5-3: Preventive Maintenance Best Management Practices

BMP Description 1 General Implement preventive maintenance program for inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices, including sediment traps, OWSs, and erosion control features. Regularly inspect, test, maintain and repair all industrial equipment and systems to avoid situations that may result in leaks, spills, and other releases of pollutants.

2 Inspections and testing of tanks for structural integrity

Conduct routine inspections and nondestructive pressure and vacuum testing for aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) to locate potential defects, leaks or damage to storage vessels.

3 Routine maintenance of septic tanks and OWSs

Routinely inspect, clean, and maintain septic tanks and OWSs for effective operation. Clogging and overflow represents a potential discharge of pollutants into the storm water.

4 Evaluate and monitor nonstructural BMPs

Utilize the annual reporting and record keeping requirements of this SWP3 and other available resources to evaluate and monitor nonstructural control measures.

5 Baghouse maintenance This facility has no baghouses; therefore requirements relating to these items are not applicable.

6 Catch basin cleaning Clean catch basins when the depth of debris reaches two-thirds (2/3) of the sump depth, and keep the debris surface at least 6 inches below the outlet pipe.

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 5-5

Table 5-4: Spill Prevention and Response Best Management Practices

BMP Description 1 Label containers Plainly label containers (e.g. “Used Oil”, “Spent Solvents,”

“Fertilizers and Pesticides”) that could be susceptible to spillage or leakage to encourage proper handling and facilitate rapid response if spills or leaks occur.

2 Implement Spill Prevention and Response Plans

Implement the management plans and monitor compliance.

This includes requirements for material storage and handling procedures, tank/drum inspections, spill response training, spill kit maintenance, and spill notifications.

3 Berms or site grading at fueling areas

Construct or maintain (as appropriate) berms or site grading to contain spills within fueling areas and prevent storm water run-on. Contain spills and implement control measures.

4 Provide secondary containment around ASTs

Construct diking or curbing to contain spills and leaks to the storage area or install double-walled tanks. Secondary containment will comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 112.

5 Fuel spills cleaned other than by hosing/washing

Avoid hosing and washing fuel spills because wash water may transport fuel, oil, and grease into the storm sewer. Use absorbent materials for cleaning up spills.

6 Visible spill control awareness signs at fueling areas

Post signs and labels in key locations to promote awareness of BMPs at fueling stations and to serve as reminders to personnel of overall responsibilities.

7 Wash rack and Oil/grease collection traps

Install wash racks, OWSs and oil and grease traps to eliminate oil entering the sanitary sewer. Routinely inspect, clean, and maintain these devices.

8 Emergency spill control stations and supplies (spill kits)

Install and clearly identify with signs designated emergency spill control stations that include safety equipment, cleanup equipment, and contact information.

9 Spill overflow prevention equipment

Install equipment to prevent fuel overflows during storage tank filling, which are a major source of spills. Overfill prevention equipment automatically shuts off flow, restricts flow, or sounds an alarm when the tank is almost full.

10 Drip pans/pads used to minimize spills

Use drip pans or pads to catch and contain small volumes of leaks, drips, and spills that occur from an activity.

11 Clearly mark all storm drains As a general facility wide BMP, clearly mark all storm drains to prevent non-storm water discharges to the storm water conveyance system (e.g., decals).

12 Track spills and reporting Track all spills of reportable quantities through the EASIER database per AFI 32-7001.

KAFB, STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 5-6

Table 5-5: Erosion and Sediment Control Best Management Practices

BMP Description 1 Structural erosion and sediment transport control Implement structural practices to divert storm water flows away from exposed areas, convey runoff, prevent sediments from moving offsite, and reduce the erosive forces of storm water runoff. Methods include sediment traps, sediment basins, and storm drain inlet and outlet protection.

2 Use flow velocity dissipation devices

Place flow velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel if the flows would otherwise create erosive conditions.

3 Nonstructural erosion and sediment transport control

Where possible, preserve natural vegetation for storm water control. Revegetate or stabilize disturbed areas as soon as practicable to minimize erosion potential, protect water quality and provide aesthetic benefits. Natural vegetation provides infiltration, removes sediments and other pollutants, and reduces the flow and velocity of storm water.

Table 5-6: Runoff Management Best Management Practices

1 Control of run-on Minimize storm water run-on to disturbed areas or contaminated areas by diverting storm water.

2 Protection of fueling areas from precipitation/runoff

Design fueling procedures to minimize fuel spills and leaks from coming into contact with storm water. Consider covering fueling areas and paving the fuel areas with concrete instead of asphalt (asphalt soaks up fuel and can become a source of storm water contamination).

3 Storm water reduction practices

Reduce the volume of storm water through run-on and runoff controls such as dikes, curbing, and porous pavement.

4 Diking and curbing Construct dikes and curbing to act as barriers in an area of concern, thus preventing storm water run-on to the facility, and minimizing storm water runoff from the facility by containing runoff or directing runoff to treatment structures such as grassed swales.

5 Designate deicing areas Designate dedicated areas for deicing and implement runoff controls such as runoff collection/recovery or use of vacuum/collection trucks to prevent deicing fluids from mingling with storm water.
