The department may issue a statewide general permit to cover all tier 1 type storm water discharges where the discharges are not covered by an industry-specific general permit issued pursuant to s. NR 216.24, or by an individual permit issued pursuant to s. 283.31 or 283.33, Stats. NR 216.23(2)(2) Tier 2 general permit. The department may issue a statewide general permit to cover all tier 2 type storm water discharges where the discharges are not covered by an industry-specific general permit issued pursuant to s. NR 216.24, or by an individual permit issued pursuant to s. 283.31 or 283.33, Stats. NR 216.23(3)(a)(a) A permittee covered by a tier 1 general industrial storm water discharge permit issued under this section, or a permit issued under s. NR 216.24, may request that the department consider converting the permittee’s coverage to a tier 2 general industrial storm water discharge permit if all of the following occur: NR 216.23(3)(a)2.2. The permittee certifies that there is no unauthorized discharge at the outfall. NR 216.23(3)(a)3.3. The permittee has completed a minimum of 3 years of industrial activity under a SWPPP, with no confirmed problems identified by public complaint or the annual facility site compliance inspection reports required under s. NR 216.29 (2). NR 216.23(3)(b)(b) The department may elect to cover any industrial storm water discharge under a tier 2 general permit where the department determines that a tier 2 general permit is appropriate. NR 216.23(4)(4) Changing to tier 1. If the department determines that a facility or an industrial activity covered under a tier 2 general permit may be discharging storm water contaminated with pollutants listed in s. NR 216.27 (3) (j), the department may require that the facility or activity be covered by a tier 1 general permit. NR 216.23 HistoryHistory: CR 03-028: cr. Register July 2004 No. 583, eff. 8-1-04. NR 216.24NR 216.24 Industry-specific general permits. NR 216.24(1)(1) Industry-specific permits. In addition to statewide general permits issued under s.

NR 216.24(2)(2) Requirements. Industry-specific general industrial storm water discharge permits shall differ from the statewide storm water general permits by factoring in characteristics common to the industry including the characteristic that requirements of the permit may contain phased source area control compliance schedules. NR 216.24(3)(a)(a) The department may allow a permittee to participate in a program to assist the facility with maintaining compliance with an industry-specific permit. The department may waive certain requirements of this subchapter via permit in exchange for alternative requirements such as mandatory education and a facility inspection program that the department finds to be equivalent or more effective at controlling pollution from storm water runoff. NR 216.24(3)(b)(b) The department may terminate a cooperative compliance program if it finds that the program is ineffective. NR 216.24 HistoryHistory: CR 03-028: cr.

Requirements of an individual WPDES permit issued under s. 283.31 or 283.33, Stats., shall be consistent with similar requirements in general storm water discharge permits, except where the department determines that more stringent requirements are necessary to meet a performance standard of ch. NR 151 or a water quality standard. The department may require that specific source area controls be used as a requirement of an individual permit. NR 216.25(2)(2) Effluent limitations. A facility covered by an individual WPDES storm water permit under s. 283.33 (1) (d), Stats., may be subject to an effluent limitation for a point source discharge, as defined in s. 283.01 (6), Stats., for storm water discharge.

NR 216.25(3)(c)(c) Effluent limitations or standards are promulgated for a storm water discharge. NR 216.25(4)(4) Petition. Any person may submit a written request to the department that it take action under this section. NR 216.25(5)(5) Revocation of general permit coverage. If the department determines that an industrial facility should be covered by an individual WPDES permit, the department shall explain its decision in writing to the permittee prior to revoking general permit coverage and issuing an individual WPDES permit.

The SWPPP shall contain the results of the non-storm water discharge monitoring required by s. NR 216.28. If monitoring is not feasible due to the lack of suitable access to an appropriate monitoring location, the SWPPP shall include a statement that the monitoring could not be conducted and an explanation of the reasons why. NR 216.27(3)(h)(h) The SWPPP shall rely to the maximum extent practicable, and to the extent it is cost effective, on the use of source area control best management practices that are designed to prevent storm water from becoming contaminated at the site. Source area control best management practices that are either proposed or in place at the facility shall be indicated on the facility drainage base map. The SWPPP shall provide for the use of the following applicable source area control best management practices: NR 216.27(3)(h)2.2. Good housekeeping measures, preventive maintenance measures, visual inspections, spill prevention and response measures and employee training and awareness. NR 216.27(3)(h)3.3. Covering or enclosing salt storage piles so that neither precipitation nor storm water runoff can come into contact with the stored salt; or, for facilities that use brine and have salt storage piles on impervious curbed surfaces, a means of diverting contaminated storm water to a brine treatment system for process use.

NR 216.27(3)(j)(j) The SWPPP shall identify pollutants that are likely to contaminate storm water discharges to waters of the state following implementation of source area control best management practices. Past sampling data collected at the facility or at sufficiently similar outfalls at other facilities may be used in making this determination. At a minimum, all of the following pollutants shall be considered for their potential to contaminate storm water: NR 216.27(3)(j)1.1. Any pollutant for which an effluent limitation is contained in any WPDES permit issued to the facility by the department. NR 216.27(3)(j)2.2. Any pollutant contained in a categorical effluent limitation or pre-treatment standard to which the facility is subject. NR 216.27(3)(j)3.3. Any section 313 water priority chemical for which the facility has reporting requirements and which has the potential for contaminating storm water. NR 216.27(3)(j)4.4. Any other toxic or hazardous pollutants from present or past activity at the site that remain in contact with precipitation or storm water and which could be discharged to the waters of the state and which are not regulated by another environmental program. NR 216.27(3)(j)5.5. Any of the following parameters that might be present in significant concentrations: oil and grease; acids or bases; total suspended solids; 5-day biological oxygen demand; chemical oxygen demand. NR 216.27(3)(j)6.6. Any pollutant identified as contributing to the impairment if the facility discharges to an impaired water. NR 216.27(3)(k)(k) When source area control best management practices are not feasible, not cost effective or are inadequate to control storm water pollution, or when the department determines source area control best management practices are inadequate to achieve a water quality standard, the SWPPP shall prescribe appropriate storm water treatment practices as needed to reduce the pollutants in contaminated storm water prior to discharge to waters of the state. Proposed or existing storm water treatment practices shall be shown on the facility drainage basin map. The SWPPP shall provide for the following types of storm water treatment practices: NR 216.27(3)(k)1.1. Storm water significantly contaminated with petroleum products shall be treated for oil and grease removal by an adequately sized, designed and functioning wastewater treatment device. Coverage under an individual or general WPDES permit is required for discharges of storm water from oil/water treatment devices. NR 216.27(3)(k)2.2. Point source discharges of storm water contaminated by significant amounts of sediment from eroding areas, including bare earth industrial lots and ongoing industrial processes, shall be treated by filtration or settling type practices. NR 216.27(3)(L)(L) The SWPPP shall include provisions for complying with the monitoring requirements specified in s. NR 216.28. The SWPPP shall include a checklist of inspections to be made during the annual facility site inspection described in s. NR 216.28 (2).
