As part of those services, an audit of the Department of Public Works (DPW) facility was performed, including site inspection and interviews with City personnel. Using this information, and data obtained from the facility, the initial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was prepared using forms provide by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and contained in the Tier A Stormwater Guidance Document published April 2004. The SPPP consisted of 17 forms, sample maintenance logs, and standard operating procedures. These forms were subject to periodic updates as the City achieved compliance with various MS4 obligations. In 2014, the City was audited by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for permit compliance. Deficiencies in the City’s stormwater program identified in the audit were reviewed and addressed by 2015. The City was issued a new MS4 permit on November 9, 2017 with an effective date of permit approval (EDPA) of January 1, 2018. The new permit contains additional requirements beyond those obligated by the 2004 permit, which this SPPP revisions addresses. Where feasible, the original 17 forms have been updated and kept in the SPPP. Where it was not feasible to continue using those forms, the SPPP has been updated to address the required information without relying upon the form. Table 1 is a summary of Gloucester City’s MS4 permit obligations and associated timetables taken from Attachment A of the permit. Tasks have been grouped in a manner to delegate responsibility based on the designated Stormwater Pollution Team Members indicated in SPPP Form 1. 1 | P a g e Table 1: MS4 Permit Obligations and Time Tables Task Regulatory Timetable Location New in SPPP Req’t?
