Maatsi Ndingwan iv Savannah River Site To Our Readers Highlights The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Order 231.1B (Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting) requires Annual Site Environmental Reports (ASERs) to assess field environmental program performance, sitewide environmental monitoring and surveillance effectiveness, and to confirm sites are complying with environmental standards and requirements. ASERs are prepared in a manner that addresses likely public concerns and to solicit feedback from the public and other stakeholders. Savannah River Site (SRS) began publishing ASERs in 1959. Readers can find the SRS Environmental Report on the World Wide Web at the following address: http://www.srs.gov/general/pubs/ERsum/index.html he SRS Environmental Report for calendar year 2019 is an overview of environmental management activities conducted on and in the vicinity of SRS from January 1 through T December 31, 2019. This report includes the following: • A summary of implemented environmental management systems that facilitate sound stewardship practices and demonstrate compliance with applicable environmental regulations and laws intended to protect air, water, land, and other natural and cultural resources that SRS operations have impacted. • A summary of the results of nonradiological parameters. These results are compared to permit limits and applicable standards. • A summary of the results of effluent monitoring and environmental surveillance of air, water, soil, vegetation, biota, and agricultural products to determine radioactivity in these media. SRS compares the results with historical data and background measurements, and to applicable standards and requirements in order to verify that SRS does not adversely impact the environment or the health of humans or biota. • A discussion of the potential doses to members of the public from radioactive releases from SRS operations compared to applicable standards and regulations, and from special- case exposure scenarios. • An explanation of the quality assurance and quality control program, which ensures that samples and data SRS collects and analyzes are reported with utmost confidence. Environmental Report 2019 (SRNS-RP-2020-00064) v To Our Readers The report addresses three general levels of reader interest: 1) The first is a brief summary with a “take-home” conclusion. This is presented in the “Highlights” text box at the beginning of each chapter. There are no technical tables, figures, or graphs in the “Highlights.” 2) The second level is a more in-depth discussion with figures, summary tables, and summary graphs accompanying

  • Comment 1. for Ease of Compliance, the Savannah River Site (SRS) Suggests That a Flowchart Be Included in the Permit to Facilitate Compliance Decisions
    Comment 1. For ease of compliance, the Savannah River Site (SRS) suggests that a flowchart be included in the permit to facilitate compliance decisions. The permit requires navigating between several different sections and is sometimes confusing as to what is actually required. The flow chart could start by determining eligibility for coverage, then determine any appropriate numeric limits, then determine specific benchmarks and other criteria for an industrial sector, and lastly develop a list of submittals required and dates for such. Response: The Department sees value in a flowchart and may develop one in the future. Comment 2. SIC codes are referenced throughout. The source of these codes is not referenced until you get to Table D-1 where it is footnoted as, “1 A complete list of SIC Codes (and conversions from the newer North American Industry Classification System” (NAICS)) can be obtained from the Internet at www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html...” The web site enables a user to look up the codes to better determine exactly what activities are covered, the only search that can be performed is on the 2007 and 2002 NAICS codes, not SIC codes. This does not allow a search on the codes listed in this draft permit. Selecting “Concordances” on the left side of the web page enables a download of various conversion tables to convert from NAICS to SIC and vice versa. It appears that the SIC codes date back to 1987. If SCDHEC (and EPA) are going to generate new permits, it is suggested that the SIC codes in the permit be updated to 2007 NAICS codes.

  • Nonradiological Environmental Monitoring Program
    Chapter 4: Nonradiological Environmental Monitoring Program he Savannah River Site (SRS) nonradiological environmental monitoring program serves two purposes: it confirms the Site is complying with state and federal regulations and Tpermits , and it monitors any effects SRS has on the environment, both onsite and offsite. SRS monitors permitted point-source discharges from onsite facilities for nonradiological parameters to ensure it is complying with regulations and permit requirements. SRS collects and analyzes environmental media such as air, water, sediment, and fish for nonradiological parameters to evaluate the effect of Site operations on the environment. 2019 Highlights Effluent Releases • Nonradiological effluent releases for all categories except industrial wastewater met permit limits and applicable standards. • SRS reported only 4 exceptions out of 2,638 analyses at SRS National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) industrial wastewater outfalls, a 99.8% compliance rate. • All SRS industrial stormwater outfalls under the NPDES permit were compliant. Onsite Drinking Water All SRS drinking water systems complied with South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water quality standards. Surveillance Program • SRS industrial wastewater and industrial stormwater discharges are not significantly affecting the water quality of onsite streams and the Savannah River. • Sediment results from SRS streams, stormwater basins, and the Savannah River were consistent with the background control locations and were comparable with historical levels. • Fish flesh sample results were consistent with historical levels.

  • General Permit Industrial Stormwater
    STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GENERAL PERMIT IN THE MATTER OF DEP-PERD-GP-O14 GENERAL PERMIT: DISCHARGE OF STORMWATER ASSOCIA TED WITH INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY JULY1, 2010 PROPOSED FINAL DECISION I SUMMARY The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP/Department) intends to renew, with modifications, the above-captioned general permit for the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activities pursuant to General Statutes §22a-430b. The modified permit will expire five years from its date of issuance and will replace the current general permit that is set to expire on September 30, 2010. The Department published its Notice of Tentative Determination (NTD) indicating its intent to renew the permit with modifications, along with the proposed draft permit. A public hearing was held and both oral and written comments were received from members of the public, including the regulated community and environmental organizations. As a result of public comment and discussion with various stakeholders, the proposed draft permit was revised after the initial publication of the NTD. As a result of these revisions, three stakeholders intervened as parties. A continued hearing was held to resolve one issue that could not be addressed through further discussion with or clarification from DEP staff. I have reviewed the revised draft permit, the public comment, all materials in the hearing record, and the applicable law. I find the proposed general permit (Attachment A) complies with the requirements of §22a-430b and its implementing regulations and recommend issuance of the general permit.

  • Boatyard General Permit Fact Sheet 2016
    Fact Sheet for NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit for Boatyards July 6, 2016 Purpose of this fact sheet This fact sheet is a companion document to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and State Waste Discharge General Permit for Boatyards (boatyard general permit). It explains the nature of the proposed discharges, summarizes the history of the permit, documents the Washington State Department of Ecology’s (Ecology’s) decisions for limiting the pollutants in the wastewater discharges, provides the regulatory and technical bases for those decisions, and fulfills the requirements of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Section 173-226-110. On March 16, 2016, Ecology prepared and made available a draft permit for boatyards and this accompanying fact sheet for public evaluation during a minimum 30-day review period (WAC 173-226-130). Copies of the draft general permit and this fact sheet were available at Ecology regional offices and via the Internet for public review and comment from March 16, 2016, through April 29, 2016. Details about how to prepare and submit comments are in Appendix D (Public Involvement Information). After the public comment period closed, Ecology made changes to the draft NPDES general permit, summarized substantive comments, and provided responses to them in Appendix E (Responses to Comments) of this fact sheet. Ecology will maintain the final fact sheet and permit in the permit file as part of the legal history. Summary The boatyard general permit provides coverage for discharges of treated pressure-wash wastewater and stormwater runoff from certain boatyards to waters of the State.

  • Proposed 2020 MSGP Fact Sheet
    Proposed 2020 MSGP Fact Sheet UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PROPOSED MULTI-SECTOR GENERAL PERMIT (MSGP) FACT SHEET FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY A NOTE TO REVIEWERS AND COMMENTERS: EPA proposes the text in this draft Fact Sheet as part of the Proposed 2020 MSGP. In most instances, EPA proposes the draft Fact Sheet text in present tense rather than conditional tense (e.g., “This Part requires” versus “This Part would require”, or “The operator must” versus “The operator would be required to”). Where EPA proposes specific changes to the permit from the 2015 MSGP, the Fact Sheet text reflects that (e.g., “EPA proposes that…”). With the inclusion of this note, reviewers and commenters should read and interpret all text as proposed and not final. EPA is proposing the Fact Sheet in this format so readers can see any proposed language as it might be written in the final permit and to improve editing efficiency during the permit finalization process. Page 1 of 103 Proposed 2020 MSGP Fact Sheet I. Background Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (Public Law 92-500, October 18, 1972) (hereinafter the Clean Water Act or CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., with the stated objectives to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." Section 101(a), 33 U.S.C. 1251(a). To achieve this goal, the CWA provides that “the discharge of any pollutant by any person shall be unlawful” except in compliance with other provisions of the statute.
