Maryland’s permit 02-SW was issued in 2002, expired on November 30, 2007, but was administratively extended. Maryland’s General Permit • The Final Determination 12-SW permit issued Nov 1, 2013, replaces the 02-SW. • Largely based on EPA’s Multi-Sector General Permit MSGP, and includes unique requirements in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed to address the Bay TMDL. • 1090 facilities w/coverage, and 249 w/no exposure certification. • Effective start date is January 1, 2014. Who is Covered? Facilities with stormwater discharges: a) from a primary industrial activity (identified in Appendix A) b) associated with industrial activity (defined in Appendix E) OR c) facilities that are notified by MDE as eligible for coverage under Sector AD, OR d) covered under the previous 02SW. Photo credit: DNREC Why Do I Have a Permit? 1. Your business “Standard Industrial Classification” (SIC) is included in CWA which requires Permit coverage 2. Your site had reasonable potential determined by MDE and required Permit coverage 3. You were trying to do the right thing and applied, not certain if you were required (termination can be requested) Website resources Industry Sector Classifications “Appendix A” • Saw mills/paper mills • Chemical plants • Stone/glass products • Metal processing facilities • Extraction and refining industries • Over 30 industry sectors SIC and NAICS Cross Reference Change in Coverage from 02SW? IF THEY ARE COVERED UNDER 02-SW, they are Eligible for 12-SW SECTOR L: LANDFILLS AND LAND APPLICATION SITES • refuse disposal permit or a marginal land permit are trigger for coverage • OR we MAY notify the operator they need coverage. SECTOR P, Q and S: Land, Water and Air TRANSPORTATION • Only those facilities which have vehicle maintenance shops (including vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, and lubrication), equipment cleaning operations or airport deicing operations are included. SECTOR P: WAREHOUSING (SIC 4221-4226) • Storage facilities must include stormwater discharges from all areas (except access roads and rail lines) where material handling, equipment, or activities, raw materials, intermediate products, final products, waste materials, by-products, or industrial machinery are exposed to stormwater. SECTOR AD.a: Dept of Public Works AND Highway Maintenance Facilities and SECTOR AD.b: School Bus Maintenance Facilities • Coverage under this permit is not required for a municipally owned and operated facility unless the facility is notified by the Department that coverage is needed, or the facility was covered under the 02-SW permit. Who is NOT Eligible? • Facilities which must meet Effluent Limitation Guidelines. • Facilities with specific General Permits: – Mineral Quarries, Borrow Pits, and Concrete and Asphalt Plants: (10-MM), – Surface Coal Mines and Related Facilities (06-CM), – Marinas including Boat Yards and Yacht Basins (10-MA), – Animal Feeding Operations (09-AF). • Individual Permits: may be contacted by MDE to get coverage under this permit. Industrial Activity Includes These are from Appendix E: • Industrial plant yards • Immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by the facility • Material handling sites, refuse sites • Sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters • Sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment Industrial Activity also Includes • Sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal • Shipping and receiving areas • Manufacturing buildings • Storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate and final products • Areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to stormwater Industrial Activity Excludes • Areas located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with stormwater drained from the above described areas. Example Facility Runoff Direction Industrial Activity Non-industrial Activity Application Process You must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI), updated Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and fee FOR EACH FACILITY.
