accurate detailed answers || ||
What are the three criteria to consider when determining if storm water discharge coverage
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
is needed under the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) industrial
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
storm water permits? - ✔✔1. The industry is identified in the federal storm water
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
regulations by SIC code or narrative description
|| || || || || ||
2. There is a point source discharge of storm water to surface waters of the state
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
3. There is a potential for exposure of industrial materials or activities to storm water runoff
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
The industrial storm water certified operator should be someone who is at the facility
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

evaporates
The introduction of pollutants to storm water most commonly occurs when industrial

facilities allow operating procedures and industrial materials to

The highest percentage of pollutants in storm water runoff occur in the first few minutes
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
that storm water runs off. This is called the __________________________________ -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔First flush ||
Organic enrichment of storm water runoff from sources such as food processing, airport
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
deicing, antifreezes, and sewage can provide a food source for bacteria in lakes and streams.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
This can lead to ______________________________, which is a common cause of fish kills.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
- ✔✔Oxygen depletion
|| || ||
The addition of __________________________________ to storm water runoff can result in
|| || || || || || || || || ||
algal blooms and excessive growth of aquatic plants in fresh water systems such as lakes
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and streams. - ✔✔Phosphorus

Sediment is one of the most widespread pollutants in surface water. Many
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
_____________________________ attach to finer sediment particles. Sediment can also be || || || || || || || || || ||
destructive to aquatic systems by covering and damaging habitat. - ✔✔Pollutants
|| || || || || || || || || ||
If there is construction activity at an industrial facility that disturbs one or more acres of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
land or the soil disturbance is within 500 feet of a water body, the owner of the property will
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
need to apply for a _____________________________. In addition if the soil disturbance
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
will become five or more acres in size the property owner will need to submit the Notice of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Coverage application to the MDEQ, Water Bureau. - ✔✔Soil Erosion and Sediment Control
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
The _____________________________________ is a document that authorizes the
|| || || || || || || ||
discharge of storm water under a general storm water permit. - ✔✔Certificate of Coverage
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
_______________________________________ permits are site specific and contain || || || || || || ||
requirements such as regular sampling, monitoring, end of pipe treatment or effluent limits.
