• quarterly authorized non-storm water discharge visual observations• monthly storm water discharge visual observation• records of spills/leaks and associated clean-up/response activities
5. Have you reviewed the major elements of the SWPPP to assurecompliance with the General Permit? YES NO
The following SWPPP items should be reviewed:
• pollution prevention team• list of significant materials• description of potential pollutant sources
6. Have you reviewed your SWPPP to assure that a) the BMPs are adequatein reducing or preventing pollutants in storm water discharges and authorizednon-storm water discharges, and b) the BMPs are being implemented? YES NO
The following BMP categories should be reviewed:
• good housekeeping practices• spill response• employee training• erosion control• quality assurance
7. Has all material handling equipment and equipment needed toimplement the SWPPP been inspected? YES NO
I. ACSCE EVALUATION REPORT
The facility operator is required to provide an evaluation report that includes:
• identification of personnel performing the evaluation• the date(s) of the evaluation• necessary SWPPP revisions
Use Form 5 to report the results of your evaluation or develop an equivalent form.
J. ACSCE CERTIFICATION
The facility operator is required to certify compliance with the Industrial Activities Storm Water General Permit. To certify compliance, both the SWPPP and Monitoring Program must be up to date and be fully implemented.
Based upon your ACSCE, do you certify compliance with the IndustrialActivities Storm Water General Permit? YES NO

DESCRIPTION OF BASIC ANALYTICAL PARAMETERS The Industrial Activities Storm Water General Permit (General Permit) requires you to analyze storm water samples for at least four parameters. These are pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Specific Conductance (SC),and Total Organic Carbon (TOC). Oil and Grease (O&G) may be substituted for TOC. In addition, you must monitor for any other pollutants which you believe to be present in your storm water discharge as a result of industrial activity and analytical parameters listed in Table D of the General Permit. There are no numeric limitations for the parameters you test for. The four parameters which the General Permit requires to be tested are considered indicator parameters. In other words, regardless of what type of facility you operate, these parameters are nonspecific and general enough to usually provide some indication whether pollutants are present in your storm water discharge. The following briefly explains what each of these parameters mean: pH is a numeric measure of the hydrogen-ion concentration. The neutral, or acceptable, range is within 6.5 to 8.5. At values less than 6.5, the water is considered acidic; above 8.5 it is considered alkaline or basic. An example of an acidic substance is vinegar, and a alkaline or basic substance is liquid antacid. Pure rainfall tends to have a pH of a little less than 7. There may be sources of materials or industrial activities which could increase or decrease the pH of your storm water discharge. If the pH levels of your storm water discharge are high or low, you should conduct a thorough evaluation of all potential pollutant sources at your site. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is a measure of the undissolved solids that are present in your storm water discharge. Sources of TSS include sediment from erosion of exposed land, and dirt from impervious (i.e. paved) areas. Sediment by itself can be very toxic to aquatic life because it covers feeding and breeding grounds, and can smother organisms living on the bottom of a water body. Toxic chemicals and other pollutants also adhere to sediment particles. This provides a medium by which toxic or other pollutants end up in our water ways and ultimately in human and aquatic life. TSS levels vary in runoff from undisturbed land. It has been shown that TSS levels increase significantly due to land development. Specific Conductance (SC) is a numerical expression of the ability of the water to carry an electric current. SC can be used to assess the degree of mineralization, salinity, or estimate the total dissolved solids concentration of a water sample. Because of air pollution, most rain water has a SC a little above zero. A high SC could affect the usability of waters for drinking, irrigation, and other commercial or industrial use. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is a measure of the total organic matter present in water. (All organic matter contains carbon) This test is sensitive and able to detect small concentrations of organic matter. Organic matter is naturally occurring in animals, plants, and man. Organic matter may also be man made (so called synthetic organics). Synthetic organics include pesticides, fuels, solvents, and paints. Natural organic matter utilizes the oxygen in a receiving water to biodegrade. Too much organic matter could place a significant oxygen demand on the water, and possibly impact its quality. Synthetic organics either do not biodegrade or biodegrade very slowly. Synthetic organics are a source of toxic chemicals that can have adverse affects at very low concentrations. Some of these chemicals bioaccumulate in aquatic life. If your levels of TOC are high, you should evaluate all sources of natural or synthetic organics you may use at your site. Oil and Grease (O&G) is a measure of the amount of oil and grease present in your storm water discharge. At very low concentrations, O&G can cause a sheen (that floating "rainbow") on the surface of water (1 qt. of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of water). O&G can adversely affect aquatic life and create unsightly floating material and film on water, thus making it undrinkable. Sources of O&G include maintenance shops, vehicles, machines and roadways. If you have any questions regarding whether or not your constituent concentrations are too high, please contact your local Regional Board office. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has published stormwater discharge benchmarks for a number of parameters. These benchmarks may be helpful when evaluating whether additional BMPs are appropriate. These benchmarks can be accessed at our website at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov. It is contained in the Sampling and Analysis Reduction Certification.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Golder Associates, Inc. (Golder) has prepared this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the
El Sobrante Landfill Facility (the Facility). The Facility is located at 10910 Dawson Canyon Road, Corona,
California 92883. The Facility is categorized under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 4953,
Refuse Systems. This SWPPP provides site information and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to meet
the requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) General Permit for Industrial
Stormwater Discharges; SWRCB WQO No. 2014-0057-DWQ, NPDES General Permit No. CAS000001,
WDRs for Discharges of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities (General Permit, Appendix A).
This SWPPP provides information regarding the pollution prevention team for the Facility and Facility
details in Sections 2 and 3; provides a pollutant source assessment in Sections 4 and associated Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in Sections 5 and 6; a discussion of Temporary Suspension of Industrial
Activities in Section 7; and a Monitoring Implementation Plan (MIP) in Section 8. The content is consistent
with the requirements of the General Permit. The purpose of the SWPPP is to protect surface water
quality by reducing the amount of pollutants in stormwater runoff.
The SWPPP has two major objectives:
To identify and evaluate sources of pollutants associated with industrial activities that may affect the quality of stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges from the facility; and
To identify and describe minimum and site-specific advanced BMPs implemented to reduce or prevent pollutants associated with industrial activities in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges in a manner that reflects best industry practice considering technological availability and economic practicability and achievability.
This SWPPP is a public domain document and is required to be certified and submitted to the SWRCB
Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS).
Preparation of this SWPPP does not guarantee compliance with the General Permit. It is the responsibility
of El Sobrante Landfill to implement the BMPs, MIP, and recommendations set forth in this document and
revise the SWPPP when conditions warrant. When the SWPPP contains significant revisions (i.e. new
industrial activity or pollutant source), the General Permit requires that it be certified and re-submitted to
SMARTS within 30 days. Less than significant revisions are required to be certified and submitted to
SMARTS at least every three (3) months.
This SWPPP has been prepared by Golder for the exclusive use of Waste Management and El Sobrante
Landfill. Golder prepared this SWPPP based upon information provided by Waste Management and El
Sobrante Landfill and the site visit conducted by Golder on August 4, 2014.

3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
3.1 Facility General Characteristics The El Sobrante Landfill facility is located at 10910 Dawson Canyon Road in the City of Corona, Riverside
County, California 92883. The Facility is a Class III landfill comprising approximately 1,407 acres of land.
The receiving water for the Facility is Dawson Creek and Temescal Wash.
3.2 Site Layout The figures in this SWPPP include information describing the relevant physical features, structures and
impervious areas, stormwater collection and conveyance systems, and locations of structural control
measures that affect industrial stormwater discharges. The figures also include information for identifying
potential threats to stormwater quality. Figure 1 shows the regional setting of the Facility. Figure 2 shows
the site vicinity and nearby water bodies. Figure 3 shows the facility boundaries, drainage areas, points of
stormwater discharge, structural control measures, impervious areas, and areas of industrial activities.
The facility includes several trailers used for administrative activities and a maintenance building. The
administrative trailers are located near the Facility entrance on the southern portion of the site. A guard
building is located at the Facility entrance. The maintenance building is located on the northern portion of
the Facility and is approximately 5,000 square feet. The northeastern portion of the Facility is permitted
for future expansion phases, but is currently undeveloped with the exception of a limited area of new cell
construction.
There is a closed mining area (USA Waste of CA Tile No. 6) pending agency response on reclamation of
the southern portion of the property. Industrial activities do not occur in this area and therefore the area is
not required to be covered in this SWPPP.
An area leased to Rentrac is located on the southwestern portion of the property. Rentrac is the operator
of this area and is responsible for implementation of the BMPs included in this SWPPP. Additionally,
Rentrac is the operator (various stockpiled materials) of the clay mine area on the west.
Properties to the north and east are undeveloped. Properties to the southeast are undeveloped followed
by residences and Dawson Creek. Properties to the south and west are undeveloped followed by
industrially developed properties. Dawson Creek is located approximately 400 feet south of the Facility
and was dry at the time of the site visit.
Dawson Canyon Road located to the southwest of the site provides access to the Facility.

3.3 Site Drainage Areas, Flow, and Drain Inlet Locations In general, storm water run-off is collected and conveyed in control ditches, sideslope benches, and
down-drain pipes. Additionally, several sedimentation basins or traps are located at the Facility to reduce
sediment-laden run-off.
Surface water flow patterns, drain inlet locations, site drainage areas, and the site stormwater discharge
points are shown on Figure 3. Stormwater discharges off-site from seven outfall locations at the Facility.
The outfall locations are designated as Outfall 001, 002, 003, North, South, Outfall A, and Outfall B.
Drainage and erosion are controlled at the El Sobrante Landfill by using an engineered and designed
series of ditches, benches, down-drain pipes, and sediment basins. The ditches and benches generally
collect runoff and convey it to down-drain pipes or chutes. These pipes convey the storm water off the
landfill surface. Most of the Facility drains to the south, into the South Runoff Control Channel and flows
to a sediment basin and ultimately to Outfall 001.
Outfall North is located on the northern side of the facility and discharges water from Sediment Basin 1.
Stormwater from the bone yard and unpaved road on the northern portion of the Facility flows to
Sediment Basin 1.
Outfall 002 is located on the northwestern portion of the Facility and collects the stormwater discharge
from Sediment Basin 2. Sediment Basin 2 collects stormwater from the access road, maintenance shop
and undeveloped slopes and landfill slopes. Stormwater from the maintenance area flows to Outfall 002
via an earthen and concrete berm.
Stormwater from the active landfill on the southeastern portion of the Facility discharges to Outfall South
located to the southeast of the Facility. The stormwater flows to a detention basin which is connected to a
culvert. If there is a significant amount of stormwater, the stormwater discharges to Dawson Creek
located south of the culvert.
Outfall 001 is located on the southern portion of the facility. Stormwater from Sediment Basin 3
discharges to Outfall 1. Stormwater from the curbside recycling and landfill areas flows to Sediment
Basin 3.
Outfall 003 is located on the southern portion of the Facility and collects stormwater from the main access
road.
Stormwater from the Rentrac and clay mine deck area on the western portion of the facility flow to a
sediment basin on the eastern portion of the Rentrac lease area and is the conveyed to a discharge point
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 6 Project No. 14-05406-20
located West of the main access road, which is Outfall A. Stormwater from the slopes adjacent to and the
access road associated with the Rentrac lease area discharge to Outfall B.
3.4 Receiving Waters The Facility discharges to unnamed tributaries and Dawson Creek which flow to Temscal Wash.
Temescal Wash is located approximately 0.25 miles to the southwest of the Facility and discharges to the
Santa Ana River.

4.0 POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES AND POLLUTANTS The Facility is a Class III Landfill facility operated by Waste Management and accepts solid wastes,
source-separated recyclable materials (SSRM), and approved special wastes. The eastern portion of the
Facility is the landfill area where waste is disposed and recyclables are stored. A portion of the western
side of the Facility is a clay mine which is leased to an equipment rental business (Rentrac) who stores
equipment and vehicles in the area and operates stockpiles of mining materials.
The operating hours of the facility are Monday to Saturday 6 AM to 6 PM, excluding holidays.
The primary potential sources of pollutants at the Facility include industrial processes and industrial
materials. Additional potential sources include:
Dust and Particulate Generating Activities;
Significant Spills and Leaks; and
Non-Stormwater Discharges.
Maintenance Activities
Fueling Activities
Gas Plant
Flare Station
Liquids Handling Tank Farm
Table 2 lists industrial materials used on-site that could be potential stormwater pollutants. The table
provides a description of quantities, characteristics, receiving, shipping, storage and handling areas,
storage methods, and containment measures, and likelihood of contact with stormwater.
Table 3 describes industrial activities, potential pollutant sources, and potential pollutants. In addition,
Table 3 describes the BMPs that are implemented to address the activities, sources, and pollutants. The
locations of industrial materials that could potentially be exposed to stormwater at the Facility are shown
on Figure 3.
Facility specific industrial processes and industrial materials are further described in the subsections
below.
4.1 Material Handling and Storage Areas The industrial materials stored, handled, or processed at the Facility consist of municipal solid waste,
SSRM, construction and demolition debris, household hazardous waste, and petroleum products.
Potential sources of pollutants also include leaks or drips from trucks/ equipment operating on-site, and
petroleum products and other materials handled or stored on-site. A Hazardous Material Business Plan
(HMBP) and a Spill Prevention, control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan) exists for this facility.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 8 Project No. 14-05406-20
4.1.1 Materials Inventory A list of industrial materials that the El Sobrante Landfill handles and stores at the facility is included in
Table 2. Table 2 includes the location where the industrial material is being received, stored, shipped, and
handles, as well as the storage method, typical handling frequency, and the likelihood of exposure to
stormwater.
4.1.2 Material Receiving Public vehicles and trucks enter the facility on a paved access road from the southwestern portion of the
El Sobrante Landfill. Municipal solid waste is accepted at the El Sobrante Landfill at approximately 7,000
tons per day. The following materials are received at El Sobrante Landfill.
Municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris at the active face.
Contaminated soils for beneficial use throughout the landfill that are subject to Order No. R8-2014-0006 Amending WDRs for Active Landfills in Santa Ana Region.
SSRMs in the bays north of the administrative office area
Oils, lubricants, and other maintenance related materials in the maintenance area
Received materials can potentially migrate from the trucks while loading/unloading due to wind or track-
out. Paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastic and glass debris stored outside may expose these materials to
stormwater. Leaks of residual liquids from recyclable containers may be exposed to stormwater. In
addition, oil and fluid leaks from collection trucks during unloading operations could allow exposure of
these materials to stormwater. The potential sources of stormwater pollutants related to material receiving
in these areas include:
Solid waste, SSRMs, and contaminated soils during unloading operations.
Leaks of residual liquids from recyclable containers
Leaking of oil and fluids from collection trucks during unloading operations.
4.1.3 Material Storage & Handling El Sobrante Landfill stores SSRMs, recycled construction and demolition material, universal waste, used
oil, , oils, lubricants, and other maintenance related materials, and household hazardous materials / waste
in designated area of the facility.
With regards to hazardous materials, El Sobrante Landfill conducts waste load checks to remove any
hazardous materials found during waste disposal activities. Hazardous materials discovered during waste
load checks are stored temporarily in a secure facility before being transported off-site to a licensed
hazardous waste facility. The approximate rate of hazardous materials found in load varies each day but
is generally several batteries, gallons cans of paint, and quarts of oil on a monthly basis.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 9 Project No. 14-05406-20
Electronic wastes are stored in totes or gondolas and shipped to a licensed electronic waste recycler on a
bi-weekly basis.
4.1.4 Material Shipping El Sobrante Landfill uses wheel loaders to load SSRM materials onto truck trailers in the locations where
the materials are stored. Hazardous wastes are off-hauled off-site within 90 days. E-wastes are
segregated and off-hauled when holding containers reach capacity. Typically forklift trucks are used to
load aggregated household hazardous wastes and E-wastes into trucks. Typically, the loading/unloading
activities of household hazardous wastes and e-wastes are not conducted under cover and are potentially
exposed to stormwater.
4.2 Industrial Processes Industrial activities at the site include municipal waste disposal, on-site equipment fueling and repair, and
activities relating to maintenance of certified closed portion of the landfill. The most likely sources of
stormwater pollutants are industrial processes that result in the release of dust and particles, oil and
grease, metals, and organics.
These industrial processes and potential pollutant sources are discussed further by area and process in
the following subsections.
4.2.1 Equipment Maintenance and Fueling Maintenance of equipment is conducted on the northwestern portion of the Facility. The repairing
activities are conducted under a canopied building. Several drums and aboveground storage tank (ASTs)
are located in the maintenance area. Portions of the ground under the maintenance building is paved;
however, the area around the building is unpaved.
Fueling activities are conducted near the Site entrance and guard building and administrative trailers.
Oil and grease are the primary potential pollutants anticipated from these activities.
4.2.2 Gas Collection System Gas condensate is generated by the landfill gas collection system. The gas condensate is stored in a
12,000-gallon AST surrounded by a concrete secondary containment structure. Leachate generated from
the landfill is collected and stored in two 12,000-gallon ASTs surrounded by a concrete containment
structure. Leachate and condensate are commingled and utilized for dust control over lined areas of the
landfill.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 10 Project No. 14-05406-20
4.3 Dust and Particulate Generating Activities Operating vehicles and machinery on the aggregate base access roads and pads associated with the
Facility generate dust or particulates In the event that dust or particulate pollutants are be picked up by
stormwater, they would follow drainage patterns as shown in Figure 2. The Facility has a set protocol for
dust mitigation during dry weather periods, including visual inspections for the condition of the roads and
spraying the roads and nearby vegetation with water. The facility uses a formulated dust suppressant
containing magnesium chloride.
4.4 Significant Spills and Leaks According to facility records and personnel, no significant spills or leaks that discharged or had the
potential to discharge from the Facility’s stormwater conveyance system have occurred at this facility in
the past five (5) years, including industrial materials handled or stored at the Facility, toxic chemicals
listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 (40 CFR), Part 302 or oil and hazardous substances in
excess of reportable quantities under 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, and 302.
Spills and leaks could potentially occur at the locations within the Facility where industrial materials are
handled or stored. These locations are shown on Figure 3.
Spills or leaks are to be addressed immediately in the manner discussed in the BMPs section. A
description of spills and the response are to be documented in the Annual Report. The PPT routinely
inspects the facility and records of these inspections are maintained. Appendix E includes a form for
describing significant spills and leaks and recording response procedures. Reporting is required for spills
of oil or hazardous substances greater than the reportable quantities described in 40 CFR Parts 302.4
and 117 and as described in the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) for the facility.
4.5 Non-Stormwater Discharges The facility has the following authorized non-stormwater discharges:
A water truck is operated daily during dry weather at the Facility to reduce dust and particulate
generation; the applied water typically evaporates or infiltrates into the aggregate base of the unpaved
roads.
Early morning dew and condensate does create run-off from the building roofs, the small quantity of clear
run-off typically evaporates.
Air conditioning units are located on the administrative trailer and discharge condensate to the
surrounding paved and unpaved parking areas. The small quantity of condensate continuously
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 11 Project No. 14-05406-20
evaporates or infiltrates and is generally not present during the wet season since the air conditioning units
are not operational.
Irrigation sprinklers are located in the planters near the office to water the landscaped areas. The
moderate quantity of irrigation water continuously infiltrates and is generally not present during rainy days.
4.6 Erodible Surfaces The unpaved areas (i.e., sideslopes, undeveloped areas, closed landfill areas, sedimentation basins, etc.)
and unpaved access roads and associated v-ditches have the potential to be eroded. However, BMPs
have been implemented at the site to reduce and eliminate erosion during wet weather periods. The
majority of the closed portions of the landfill have well established vegetation that lessens the erodible
potential.
4.7 Pollutant Source Assessment A potential pollutant source assessment was performed to identify those industrial activities potentially
contributing pollutants to stormwater discharge and the BMPs implemented, or to be implemented, to
reduce the potential for those pollutants into stormwater discharges. This assessment included review of
sampling, visual observation, and inspection records as part of the assessment; however, historic records
are not included as part of this SWPPP.
Industrial activities are identified in Sections 4.1 through 4.7 and BMPs are included in Sections 5 and 6.
The following information is summarized in Tables 2 and 3 and relevant elements of this information are
also shown on Figure 3, 4, and 5.

There are no known industrial pollutants related to the receiving waters with 303(d) listed impairments.
Based on this initial desktop assessment, there are no additional parameters required to be included in
the MIP (Section 8) at this time to indicate the presence of listed impairments in industrial stormwater
discharges from the Facility.

5.0 MINIMUM BMPS Minimum Best Management Practices (BMPs) generally consist of processes, prohibitions, procedures,
schedule of activities, etc., that reduce potential for exposure of stormwater and authorized non-
stormwater discharges. The minimum BMPs described in this section are required by the General Permit.
5.1 Good Housekeeping The Facility implements the good housekeeping BMPs describe below in order to reduce the impact of
potential pollutants. The Minimum BMPs described in the General Permit are italicized, with Facility-
specific implementation following.
i. Observe all outdoor areas associated with industrial activities including stormwater discharge locations, drainage areas, conveyance systems, waste handling/disposal areas, and perimeter areas impacted by off-facility materials or stormwater run-on to determine housekeeping needs. Any identified debris, waste, spills, tracked materials, or leaked materials shall be cleaned and disposed of properly.
El Sobrante Landfill observes parking lots, driveways, and storage areas and removes trash
and debris on a regular basis.
ii. Minimize or prevent material tracking
Facility personnel keep litter and debris picked up so that it is not tracked off-site. El Sobrante
Landfill sweeps the paved access road for the facility two times a week.
iii. Minimize dust generated from industrial materials or activities
The facility utilizes a water spray truck to minimize dust generation.
iv. Ensure that all facility areas impacted by rinse/wash waters are cleaned as soon as possible
Vehicles and equipment are cleaned in a wash bay connected to a clarifier at the
maintenance area.
v. Cover all stored industrial materials that can be readily mobilized by contact with stormwater
Petroleum products and aqueous landfill liquids are stored in ASTs with secondary
containment. Exposed metal equipment and supplies stored near the maintenance area are
removed/ recycled in a timely manner or are covered and stored on pallets.
vi. Contain all stored non-solid industrial materials (e.g., particulates, powders, shredded paper, etc.) that can be transported or dispersed via wind or contact with stormwater
El Sobrante Landfill stores waste oils/liquids in the waste oil AST located on the northwestern
portion of the site near the maintenance area. El Sobrante Landfill maintains suitable spill kits
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 13 Project No. 14-05406-20
near the hazardous material storage area and promptly implements established spill cleanup
procedures for leaks and spills.
vii. Prevent disposal of any rinse/wash waters or industrial materials into the stormwater system
Vehicles and equipment are cleaned in a wash bay connected to a clarifier at the
maintenance area. Industrial materials are not disposed of in the stormwater conveyance
system. Dry cleanup methods are utilized in the event of spills or leaks
viii. Minimize stormwater discharges from non-industrial areas (e.g., stormwater flows from employee parking area) that contact industrial areas of the facility
Where practicable, the site drainage pattern is such that stormwater discharges from non-
industrial areas such as the landscaped area do not contact the industrial areas of the facility.
ix. Minimize authorized NSWDs from non-industrials areas (e.g., potable water, irrigation water, fire hydrant testing, etc.) that contact industrial areas of the facility
Where practicable, the site drainage pattern is such authorized NSWDs from non-industrial
areas such as the landscaped area do not contact the industrial areas of the facility.
5.2 Preventative Maintenance The Facility implements the preventative maintenance procedures described below.
Identify equipment and systems used outdoors that may spill or leak potential stormwater pollutants
Observe the identified equipment and systems to detect leaks, or identify conditions that may result in the development of leaks
Establish an appropriate schedule for maintenance of identified equipment and systems
Establish procedure for prompt maintenance and repair of equipment, and maintenance of systems when conditions exist that may result in the development of spills or leaks
A member of the PPT performs weekly visual inspections using an established checklist that includes
checking for signs of deterioration of equipment, containers, and metal accessories that are stored
outside. The inspection identifies corrosion, structural failure, spills, leaks, etc. and equipment is repaired/
replaced as needed.

December 2014 14 Project No. 14-05406-20
Develop and implement spill and leak response procedures to prevent industrial materials
from discharging through the stormwater conveyance system. Spilled or leaked industrial material shall be cleaned and disposed of properly.
Identify and describe all necessary and appropriate spill and leak response equipment, location(s) of spill and leak response equipment, and spill or leak response equipment maintenance procedures
Identify and train appropriate spill and leak response personnel
El Sobrante Landfill properly labels and uses lids to seal cans and drums storing liquids and uses spigots,
pumps, and funnels to dispense and transfer liquids to reduce the possibility of spills. El Sobrante Landfill
uses drip pans or other protective devices for liquid transfer operations to catch incidental spillage and
drips from dispensing products from tanks, drums, barrels, or dispenser pumps. El Sobrante Landfill
stores used waste oil/liquids in an AST under cover and with secondary containment pending removal by
a hazardous waste disposal contractor. El Sobrante Landfill maintains spill cleanup kits near the material
storage areas.
Significant spills must be immediately reported to proper authorities. Reporting is required for spills of oil
or hazardous substances greater than the reportable quantities described in CFR Title 40, Parts 302.4
and 117. A form for describing significant spills and leaks and recording response procedures is included
in Appendix E. The Facility also follows response procedures as outlined in its SPCC.
5.4 Material Handling and Waste Management The Facility implements the material handling and site-generated waste management procedures
described below.
Prevent or minimize handling of industrial materials or wastes that can be readily mobilized by contact with stormwater during a storm event
Contain all stored non-solid industrial materials or wastes that can be transported or dispersed via wind erosion or contact with stormwater during handling
Cover industrial waste disposal containers and industrial materials storage containers that contain industrial materials when not in use
Divert run-on and stormwater generated from within the facility away from all stockpiled materials
Clean all spills of industrial materials/wastes that occur during handling in accordance with the spill response procedures
Observe and clean as appropriate, any other material/waste handling equipment or containers that can be contaminated by contact with industrial materials or wastes.

December 2014 15 Project No. 14-05406-20
5.5 Erosion and Sediment Control Erosion of non-vegetated areas can cause sediment mobilization and increase sediment loading in
stormwater discharges. The following BMPs for erosion control will be implemented, if industrial activities
spread to erodible surfaces.
Implement effective wind erosion controls
Provide effective stabilization for erodible areas prior to a forecasted storm events
Maintain effective perimeter controls and stabilize all site entrances and exits to sufficiently control discharges of erodible materials from discharging or being tracked off the site
Divert run-on and stormwater generated from within the facility away from all erodible materials
Maintain drainage and erosion control systems and all-weather working surfaces at the site
Maintain vegetation on inactive earth surfaces prior to October 1 of each year. Advanced erosion and sediment control, structural controls, and specific implementation details are also discussed in Section 6.
Sediment basins are implemented. Design storm standards described in Section X.H.6 of the General Permit will be implemented for sediment basins that are consructed or upgraded after July 1, 2015.
5.6 Employee Training Program The Facility implements the employee training program procedures described below.
Team members implementing the various compliance activities in the SWPPP are properly trained to implement the requirements of the General Permit, including but not limited to: BMP implementation, BMP effectiveness evaluations, visual observations, and monitoring activities. If this facility enters Level 1 status, appropriate team members shall be trained by a QISP.
Appropriate training manuals or training materials are prepared or acquired.
Personnel need to be trained, their responsibilities, and the type of training they shall receive have been identified.
A training schedule has been developed and is described below.
Documentation of all completed training classes and the personnel that received training is maintained in the SWPPP
The Facility has established a training program. The PPT trains annually or provides annual training for
current and future employees. The Facility provides training for new employees within 30 days of
involvement with the SWPPP program. This training includes BMP implementation, BMP effectiveness
evaluations, visual observations, and monitoring activities. Two employees are trained on sampling
procedures and methodologies.
The Facility employees that have direct responsibilities in areas of the facility that have the potential to
impact stormwater receive SWPPP training annually. More frequent training will be conducted as
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 16 Project No. 14-05406-20
necessary to address employee turnover. All PPT and employee training is documented and the records
are stored with the SWPPP. Records of employee training are kept for at least 5 years. Employee training
records may be kept on the form provided in Appendix D.
5.7 Quality Assurance and Record Keeping The Facility implements the quality assurance and record keeping procedures described below.
Develop and implement management procedures to ensure that appropriate staff implements all elements of the SWPPP, including the Monitoring Implementation Plan (MIP).
Develop a method of tracking and recording the implementation of BMPs identified in the SWPPP
Maintain the BMP implementation records, training records, and records related to any spills and clean-up related response activities for a minimum of five (5) years
The PPT or facility manager is responsible for ensuring that all elements of the SWPPP, including the MIP
and BMPs, are implemented, that BMP implementation is tracked and recorded, and that all records
required by the General Permit and SWPPP are maintained for a minimum of 5 years. Requirements are
tracked through the facility’s CYCLE database. Quality assurance activities undertaken are documented
and entered into the SWPPP records.
5.8 Minimum BMP Exceptions The facility implements all minimum BMPs in the General Permit as described above. If the described
minimum BMPS are not fully implemented because they have been determined to either not reflect a best
industry practice, are not economically practicable, or are not economically achievable; those exceptions
are described in future revisions in the SWPPP and are included in Appendix A.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 17 Project No. 14-05406-20
6.0 ADVANCED BMPS Advanced BMPs reduce or prevent discharges of pollutants in stormwater discharge in a manner that
reflects best industry practice considering technological availability and economic practicability and
availability. Examples include:
Overhead coverage
Retention ponds, basins or surface impoundments
Berms or other run-on/run-off channeling devices
Secondary containment structures
Treatment through inlet controls, filtration, or vegetative swales that reduce the pollutants in surface waters discharged from the site.
The Facility implements advanced BMPs as necessary, described below.
6.1 Exposure Minimization El Sobrante Landfill stores petroleum products, oil filters, batteries, and other hazardous waste materials
in covered locations. This overhead coverage reduces or prevents the potential for stormwater pollutants
associated with these activities from contacting or entering stormwater. These potential targeted
pollutants include TSS and O&G.
6.2 Stormwater Containment and Discharge Reduction BMPs
6.2.1 Contaminated Soil Acceptance BMPs ESL accepts contaminated soils for beneficial use that are subject to Order No. R8-2014-0006 Amending WDRs for Active Landfills in Santa Ana Region. ESL ensures that waste constituents are not mobilized in a way that would adversely affect beneficial uses of waters of the State through implementation of the following BMPs.
The use of contaminated soils is limited by administrative procedures, but contaminated soils may be accepted at any time, but will not be deployed for beneficial use during wet weather events.
Drainage diversion structures to control surface water run-on and run-off to limit interaction with the wastes exposed in the landfill working area are implemented
Drainage retention facilities to capture or control surface waters to minimize stormwater run-off from the site
6.2.2 Sedimentation Basins The Facility maintains four (4) sedimentation basins to detain stormwater at the facility. The locations of
the sedimentation basins are:
Sedimentation Basin 1 is located on the northern portion of the Facility near Outfall North
Sedimentation Basin 2 is located on the northwestern portion of the Facility near Outfall 002
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 18 Project No. 14-05406-20
Sedimentation Basin 3 is located on the southern portion of the Facility near Outfall 001
Sedimentation Basin 4 is located on the southern portion of the Facility near Outfall South
Temporary sedimentation basins may be used to contain and hold stormwater runoff during construction
of expansion areas, placement of landfill cap/cover, and backfilling/grading projects. The Facility
maintains one large retention basin to retain stormwater from the central portion of the facility. Water from
the basins do not flow directly to stormwater discharge locations but if needed, may be pumped to
existing discharge locations after sediment has settled out.
6.2.3 Down Drain Maintenance Down drain inlets are cleaned prior to the wet season and before major storm events, if partially full with
sediments.
6.3 Treatment Control BMPs There is an oil/water separator (clarifier) located at the maintenance shop area. Generalized operation
and preventative maintenance procedures are as follows.
Depending on site usage of wash bay, content of oil/water separator is pumped dry using WM approved third party transporter and hauled to and disposed at permitted Class II landfill facility.
Content is removed at a minimum of once per quarter
Content is tested and analyzed annually to assure chemical composition of waste remains the same
Any needed repairs of separator are done on an as needed basis
Additional advanced treatment control BMPs may be considered consistent with the exceedance
Response Action (ERA) process if stormwater Numeric Action Levels (NALs) are not met.
6.4 Other Advanced BMPs
6.4.1 Secondary Containment All fuel and waste oil storage tanks and containers at the Facility have secondary containment equipment
to prevent or reduce the potential for stored liquids to contact stormwater. The secondary containment
reduces or prevents the potential for O&G impact to stormwater.
6.4.2 Hydrojetting Stormdrain pipes are inspected prior to the start of the wet season; if sediment buildup is observed those
pipes are hydro jetted so as to remove sediment buildup.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 19 Project No. 14-05406-20
6.4.3 Track-out Prevention Stabilized entrances/exits or rumble strips are placed at the defined access points to selected industrial
activities.
6.4.4 Erosion Control Naturally occurring vegetation at the Facility filters sediment from stormwater before discharge.
Vegetation can also provide a slight pH buffering effect. The stormwater drainage systems in place have
been designed to divert stormwater away from operational areas and toward the sedimentation basin and
vegetated areas where practicable.
The facility will implement selected sediment control measures that may include silt fence,
geocomposites, or 18 inch Filtrexx Soxx.
Specific narrative descriptions of BMPs that are implemented, to the extent practicable, at the Facility are
listed by category in each of the following sections. Additionally, copies of California Stormwater Quality
Association (CASQA) BMP Handbook fact sheets for erosion and sediment control BMPs are included for
implementation guidance and reference in Appendix G.
More generally, erosion control, also referred to as soil stabilization, consists of source control measures
that are designed to prevent soil particles from detaching and becoming transported in storm water runoff.
Erosion control BMPs protects the soil surface by covering and/or binding soil particles. The Facility will
incorporate erosion control measures that are effective and result in the reduction of sediment related
pollutants in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges. The Facility will
implement the following practices as-needed for effective temporary and longer-term erosion control:
Preserve existing vegetation where practicable and when feasible.
Implement focused erosion control measures prior to the wet season.
Apply hydroseed for vegetation development on sparse vegetated areas.
Focus on controlling erosion in concentrated flow paths.
Sufficient erosion control materials will be maintained on-site to allow implementation in conformance with the SWPPP.
The BMPs that are considered, and where appropriate implemented at the Facility to prevent erosion
following soil disturbing areas include:
6.4.4.1 Scheduling Operating activities are scheduled with the incorporation of both soil stabilization and
sediment control measure BMPs to reduce the discharge of pollutants. The schedule limits exposure of disturbed soil to wind, rain, and stormwater run-on and run-off where practicable.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 20 Project No. 14-05406-20
6.4.4.2 Preservation of Existing Vegetation
Existing vegetation is maintained to the extent practicable.
6.4.4.3 Seeding
Seeding or other erosion control BMPs are applied in areas to protect disturbed soil areas from soil erosion. The seed or other erosion control BMPs are applied after any grading operations.
6.4.4.4 Geotextile and Mats
Geotextile or erosion control matting will be installed in v-ditches where the erosive potential exceeds the resistance of the native compacted soil; the application of erosion control matting is performed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Erosion Control Mats (ECMs) should not include any synthetic netting component because of this material's potential adverse impact to Wildlife.
6.4.4.5 Slope Protection Slope drains consist of a pipe used to intercept and direct surface runoff into a stabilized
watercourse, trapping device, or stabilized area. Slope drains are used with earth dikes and drainage ditches to intercept and direct surface flow away from slope areas to protect recently cut or fill slopes.
6.4.4.6 Non-vegetative stabilization Non-vegetative stabilization methods may be used for permanent stabilization of areas
prone to erosion. These methods will be used only where vegetative options are not feasible such as areas of vehicular traffic (access roads) or areas with rocky substrate, infertile or droughty soils where vegetation would be difficult to establish.
6.4.4.7 Soil Binders Soil binding consists of application and maintenance of a soil stabilizer to exposed soil
surfaces and may be used in select areas of the Facility. Soil binders are materials applied to the soil surface to temporarily prevent water and wind induced erosion of exposed soils. Example of soil binders that are recommended are:
Earthguard is a useful soil stabilizing emulsion specifically formulated to reduce erosion and sediment runoff. Earthguard can be applied by water truck or by spray application.
Gorilla-Snot is useful as a biodegradable liquid copolymer to stabilize and solidify any soil or aggregate as well as provide erosion control and dust suppression.
6.4.5 Sediment Control Sediment controls are structural measures that are intended to complement and enhance the selected
erosion control measures and reduce sediment discharges. Sediment controls are designed to intercept
and remove or settle out or filter soil particles that have been detached and transported by the force of
water. The Facility implements sediment control measures that are effective and result in the reduction of
sediment related pollutants in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 21 Project No. 14-05406-20
Sufficient quantities of temporary sediment control materials will be maintained on-site to allow
implementation of temporary sediment controls in the event of predicted rain and for rapid response. This
includes implementation requirements of BMPs in active areas and non-active areas that require
deployment before the onset of rain. The BMPs considered for implementation to prevent sediment
migration from disturbed soil areas include:
6.4.5.1 Fiber Rolls (straw wattles or Filtrexx Soxx®) Fiber rolls or Filtrexx Soxx® are installed at strategic locations at the facility. Fiber rolls are
typically placed along the perimeter of the facility. Fiber Rolls should not include any synthetic component. Heavy sediment laden run-on that flows onto the access road should be controlled.
6.4.5.2 Sweeping Paved areas are swept with a regenerative sweeper daily, prior to an anticipated storm
event, or as needed to control of excessive dirt and dust. Sweeping focuses in areas where noticeable tracking of materials occurs.
6.4.5.3 Storm Drain Inlet Protection (within hardscape areas) Drain inlets (DIs) within the hardscaped areas of the facility have drain inlet protection.
The Drain inlet protection is intended to filter out any sediment and pollutants. DI protection is installed in a manner that will not cause ponding or pose a threat to traffic safety. If ponding does cause an issue the source of the ponding will be identified and corrective actions taken if necessary. During critical operations where potential exists of non-stormwater entering the storm drain inlet, the inlet should be sealed off with urethane sheets, plastic covers, or an equivalent product. Once the critical operation is completed the DIs should be opened up again.

7.0 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES If the facility plans to temporarily suspend industrial activities for ten or more consecutive calendar days
during a reporting year, the facility may also suspend monitoring if it is infeasible to conduct monitoring
while industrial activities are suspended (e.g., the facility is not staffed, or the facility is remote or
inaccessible) and the facility has been stabilized.
The facility will implement appropriate stabilization BMPs (such as complete coverage) to achieve
compliance with this General Permit during the temporary suspension of the industrial activity by avoiding
any exposure of industrial materials and industrial activities to stormwater.
Once all necessary BMPs have been implemented to stabilize, the facility is not required to:
Perform monthly visual observations; or,
Perform sampling and analysis; if it is infeasible to do so (e.g. facility is remotely located).
The facility shall upload via SMARTS seven calendar days prior to the planned temporary suspension of
industrial activities:
Revised and updated SWPPP (if above listed stabilization BMPs are not deemed adequate at the time) specifically addressing the facility stabilization BMPs;
The justification for why monitoring is infeasible at the facility during the period of temporary suspension of industrial activities;
The date the facility is fully stabilized for temporary suspension of industrial activities; and,
The projected date that industrial activities will resume at the facility.
Upon resumption of industrial activities the facility shall, via SMARTS, confirm and/or update the date the
facility’s industrial activities have resumed. At this time, the Discharger is required to resume all
compliance activities.
The Regional Water Board may review the submitted information pertaining to the temporary suspension
of industrial activities. Upon review, the Regional Water Board may request revisions or reject the the
facility’s request to temporarily suspend monitoring.

8.0 MONITORING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (MIP) The MIP in this section describes a facility-specific monitoring program to provide indicator monitoring
information for assessing the levels of pollutants in stormwater discharges, the effectiveness of BMPs to
prevent or reduce pollutants, and the need for corrective action. The objectives of the MIP are to:
Assess whether BMPs addressing pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges and authorized NSWDs are effective for compliance with the effluent and receiving water limitations of the General Permit.
Measure the presence of pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges and authorized NSWDs relative to their respective Numeric Action Levels (NALs), and determine whether an Exceedance Response Action process is required.
Assess whether the suite of BMPs implemented at the facility are effective in reducing or preventing pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges and authorized NSWDs.
The MIP includes a description of the following:
Discharge locations
Visual monitoring procedures
Sampling requirements and sample handling procedures
A list of analytical methods and related detection limits
Justifications for alternative discharge locations, representative sampling reduction and/or qualified combined samples (if needed)
Visual and sample event observation response procedures
PPT member assignments
8.1 Discharge Locations There are a total of seven (7) industrial stormwater discharge locations. The stormwater discharge
locations at the Facility are described as follows and are shown on Figure 3:
Outfall 001 (Sediment Basin 3 located on the southern portion of the facility)
Outfall 002 (Sediment Basin 2 located on the northwester portion of the facility)
Outfall 003 (along the Facility access road located on the southern portion of the facility)
Outfall North (Sediment Basin 1 located on the northern portion of the facility)
Outfall South (Sediment Basin 4 located on the southeastern portion of the facility)
Outfall A (near the former clay mine located on the northwestern portion of the facility)
Outfall B (located along the access road on the southwestern portion of the facility)
8.2 Visual Observations The General Permit requires two basic types of visual observations designed to identify sources of
pollutants.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 24 Project No. 14-05406-20
Monthly Visual Observations- conducted on a day with no precipitation during daylight hours to observe
authorized and unauthorized NSWDs and potential pollutant sources.
Sampling Event Visual Observations- conducted at the same time that sampling occurs to observe the
quality of discharges and sources of observed pollutants.
8.2.1 Monthly Visual Observations A member of the PPT visually observes at least monthly at each drainage area. The scope of the visual
observation includes the following elements:
The presence or indications of prior, current, or potential unauthorized NSWDs and their sources
Authorized NSWDs and associated BMPs
Implemented BMPs
Potential pollutant sources including industrial activity areas, outdoor equipment, and other potential industrial pollutant sources
Each area of industrial activity
The inspections are to be conducted during daylight hours, during scheduled facility operating hours, and
on days without precipitation. Inspectors are to document the presence or indication of any non-
stormwater discharge, pollutant characteristic (i.e., floating and suspended material, oil and grease,
discoloration, turbidity, odor, etc.), and the source. The facility’s authorized non-stormwater discharges (if
any) and associated BMPs are also observed.
Visual observations are to be documented on the applicable form located in Appendix F.
8.2.2 Sampling Event Visual Observations A member of the PPT visually observes stormwater discharge at the time of sampling. Sampling is
required four times per year, twice during the first half of the year (July 1 through December 31) and twice
during the second half of the year (January 1 through June 30). Sampling and corresponding visual
observations are only required of stormwater discharges that meet the sampling criteria in Section 8.3.
Observations are not required when dangerous weather conditions exist, discharge occurs outside
scheduled facility operating hours, and events not sampled are explained in the Annual Report.
Observations are also not required for drainage areas that have no exposure to industrial activities and
materials.
The inspections include visual observations of stormwater runoff to evaluate the presence of floating or
suspended materials, oil and grease, discoloration, turbidity, or other signs of pollutant impact to
stormwater runoff. Observations are made to assess the proper performance of stormwater collection and
diversion structures, e.g., surface drains. The SWPPP shall be revised, as necessary, if visual
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 25 Project No. 14-05406-20
observations indicate that the document is inaccurate or additional BMPs are needed to control or prevent
pollutants in stormwater discharges.
A member of the PPT is assigned to perform visual stormwater observations during the sample collection.
A back-up member of the team shall be assigned when the primary PPT member is absent or
unavailable. Visual observations are to be documented on the applicable form located in Appendix F.
8.2.3 Visual Observation Records and Response Procedures Appendix F includes templates for the required visual observations.
Records of the observations include the name of the observer, date, time, locations observed,
observations, and response action(s) taken.
In the event that a visual observation indicates a condition that may inadequately reduce or prevent
pollutants in industrial stormwater, corrective action will be taken. Examples of observations that may
require a corrective action include but are not limited to the following.
Unauthorized NSWD
Presence of floating or suspended materials, oil and grease, discoloration, turbidity, or other signs of pollutants in a discharge
Inadequately implemented BMP
Inadequate BMP maintenance
New pollutant source or a change in character of an existing pollutant source
Examples of corrective action that may be appropriate to an observation may include the following.
Eliminate unauthorized non-stormwater discharges and/or to improve BMP implementation
Investigate the source of observed pollutants
Direct Facility personnel to implement a housekeeping task
Eliminate or implement new BMP(s) or improve existing BMP(s) to address the source of pollutants;
Maintain BMP(s)
Develop New BMP(s)
The SWPPP shall be revised, as necessary, if visual observations indicate that the document is
inaccurate or additional or revised BMPs are needed address the observations or to reduce or prevent
pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 26 Project No. 14-05406-20
8.3 Sampling and Analysis The General Permit requires collection of stormwater discharges for laboratory analysis from a Qualifying
Storm Event (QSE). The General Permit describes a QSE as when stormwater discharge occurs from at
least one drainage area when the discharge is preceded by at least 48 hours with no discharges from any
of the drainage areas. Samples are to be collected from two QSEs occurring within the first half of the
year (January 1 through June 30) and two QSEs occurring within the second half of the year (July 1
through December 31).
Samples are to be collected from each drainage area at all discharge locations with two exceptions: (1)
when the facility qualifies for Representative Sampling Reduction, and (2) when stormwater is stored or
contained. Following the criteria for Representative Sample Reduction, the facility’s number of sampling
locations may be reduced if discharge locations are substantially similar, the reduction is justified in the
MIP, and the Discharger certifies it in the Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System
(SMARTS). When stormwater is stored or contained, sampling occurs at the time the stored water is
released. A PPT member or designee is to collect stormwater samples under the following conditions:
Within 4 hours of the start of discharge or at the start of facility operations if the QSE occurs within the previous 12-hour period.
During regularly scheduled facility operating hours.
During daylight hours.
When weather and site conditions are safe.
Surface water (stormwater runoff) monitoring is performed as part of the NPDES program. There are a
total of seven (7) stormwater runoff monitoring locations. The stormwater discharge monitoring locations
at the Facility are as follows and as shown on Figure 3:
Outfall 001
Outfall 002
Outfall 003
Outfall North
Outfall South
Outfall A
Outfall B
The General Permit requires justifications for any of the following monitoring options that could be
applicable to the facility:
Alternative discharge locations
Representative Sampling Reduction
Qualified Combined Samples
Since the facility is not using any of the above monitoring options, no justifications are required.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 27 Project No. 14-05406-20
8.4 Parameters for Analysis, Methods, Detection Limits, and USEPA
Benchmark values The minimum parameters for sampling and analysis include pH, TSS, and O&G.
Pursuant to requirements of the General Permit, individual samples of stormwater from this site are to be
field tested with a calibrated portable instrument for pH. Collected samples are analyzed at the laboratory
or in the field for the parameters listed in Table 5 using the associated method, holding time, and USEPA
Benchmark values for the discharge locations as shown in Table 4.
8.4.1 Sector Required Analysis Based on the standard industrial classification (SIC) codes for specific industrial activities conducted at
the Facility, the following sector- required analyses are specified in the General Permit monitoring
program.
8.4.1.1 SIC Code 4953 Total Iron by USEPA 200.7/200.8.
Table 4 displays an overview of the sampling procedures.
8.5 Sample Collection and Handling Procedure Samples are to be collected in bottles that are either unpreserved (pH and TSS) or preserved (O&G and
iron). If the sample analytical method requires an unpreserved bottle, the bottle may be placed directly in
the flow of water to collect the sample. If a preserved bottle is required, the sample must be collected in
an unpreserved bottle then transferred to the bottle containing preservative in order to avoid washing the
preservative out of the bottle. Obtain guidance on sample collection, analytical methods, sample
preservation, and sample handling from the Stormwater Sample Collection and Handling Instructions
attached to the General Permit and from the analytical laboratory. An example of the chain of custody is
included in Appendix F.
The following procedure is to be followed to, first, determine when to sample and, second, ensure sample
integrity:
Obtain appropriate sample bottles from the laboratory to have on hand prior to the wet season.
Track weather forecasts to determine the expected arrival date and time of the storm event and quantity of rainfall.
Review weather data to determine if the requisite 48 hours of dry weather has elapsed prior to the anticipated storm event.
After rain has begun falling, check if the storm event is creating discharge and it is safe to collect stormwater.
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 28 Project No. 14-05406-20
If stormwater is discharging from the site into the drains, collect samples within the first
four hours and label for submittal to the analytical laboratory.
Store the samples in a cooler with ice or frozen ice packs, complete the chain of custody form, and submit the samples to the lab or have them picked up by a courier prior to the close of business on the same day that they are collected.
8.5.1 Field Calibration Procedures pH will be monitored using:
wide range litmus pH paper or other equivalent pH test kits, or
a calibrated portable instrument for pH, or
methods in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations 136 for testing storm water.
If a calibrated portable instrument for pH is used, the PPT member shall ensure that all field
measurements are conducted in accordance with the portable instrument accompanying manufacturer’s
instructions. It is recommended that an equipment calibration is performed 24 hours prior an announced
rain event with a 50% greater probability of precipitation on the NOAA website.
8.6 Monitoring Methods and Exceptions The stormwater discharges observed and collected are representative of the stormwater discharge in
each drainage area of the facility. If discharges are impacted by run-on from an adjacent facility, an
alternate visual monitoring and sample collection location shall be identified. If visual observation and
sample collection locations are difficult to inspect and sample, an alternate location representative of the
facility’s stormwater discharges may be identified.
Sample collection or inspections are not required during dangerous weather conditions (i.e., flooding, high
winds, or electrical storms) or outside scheduled operating hours. Documentation of dangerous conditions
preventing sampling or inspections shall be entered into the site record.
8.7 NALs and NAL Exceedances The Facility compares the results to the two types of NAL values in Table 4 to determine whether either
type of NAL has been exceeded for each applicable parameter. The two types of potential NAL
exceedances are:
8.7.1 Annual NAL exceedance The Facility determines the average concentration for each parameter using the results of all the sampling
and analytical results for the entire Facility for the reporting year (i.e., all "effluent" data). The Facility
compares the average concentration for each parameter to the corresponding annual NAL values in
Table 4. An annual NAL exceedance occurs when the average of all the analytical results for a parameter
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 29 Project No. 14-05406-20
from samples taken within a reporting year exceeds the annual NAL value for that parameter listed in
Table 4.
8.7.2 Instantaneous maximum NAL exceedance The Facility compares all sampling and analytical results from each distinct sample (individual or
combined) to the corresponding instantaneous maximum NAL values in Table 4. An instantaneous
maximum NAL exceedance occurs when two (2) or more analytical results from samples taken for any
single parameter within a reporting year exceed the instantaneous maximum NAL value (for TSS and
O&G) or are outside of the instantaneous maximum NAL range for pH.
8.8 Exceedance Response Actions
8.8.1 Baseline Status At the beginning of NOI Coverage, the Facility has baseline status for all parameters.
8.8.2 Level 1 Status Baseline status changes for any given parameter to Level 1 status if sampling results indicate an NAL
exceedance for that same parameter. Level 1 status commences on July 1 following the reporting year
during which the exceedance(s) occurred.
8.8.2.1 Level 1 ERA Evaluation By October 1 following commencement of Level 1 status for any parameter with sampling results
indicating an NAL exceedance, the facility shall:
1. Complete an evaluation, with the assistance of a QISP, of the industrial pollutant sources at the Facility that are or may be related to the NAL exceedance(s); and,
2. Identify in the evaluation the corresponding BMPs in the SWPPP and any additional BMPs and SWPPP revisions necessary to prevent future NAL exceedances and to comply with the requirements of this General Permit. Although the evaluation may focus on the drainage areas where the NAL exceedance(s) occurred, all drainage areas shall be evaluated.
8.8.2.2 Level 1 ERA Report Based upon the above evaluation, the Facility shall, as soon as practicable but no later than January 1
following commencement of Level 1 status:
3. Revise the SWPPP as necessary and implement any additional BMPs identified in the evaluation;
4. Certify and submit via SMARTS a Level 1 ERA Report prepared by a QISP that includes the following:
A summary of the Level 1 ERA Evaluation required in Section 8.8.2.1 above; and,
SWPPP No 20 El Sobrante Facility _audit update.docx
December 2014 30 Project No. 14-05406-20
A detailed description of the SWPPP revisions and any additional BMPs for each
parameter that exceeded a NAL.
5. Certify and submit via SMARTS the QISP’s identification number, name, and contact information (telephone number, e-mail address).
The Facility Level 1 status for a parameter will return to Baseline status once a Level 1 ERA report has
been completed, all identified additional BMPs have been implemented, and results from four (4)
consecutive QSEs that were sampled subsequent to BMP implementation indicate no additional NAL
exceedances for that parameter.
8.8.2.3 NAL Exceedances Prior to Implementation of Level 1 Status BMPs. Prior to the implementation of an additional BMP identified in the Level 1 ERA Evaluation or October 1,
whichever comes first, sampling results for any parameter(s) being addressed by that additional BMP will
not be included in the calculations of annual average or instantaneous NAL exceedances in SMARTS.
8.8.3 Level 2 Status Level 1 status for any given parameter changes to Level 2 status if sampling results indicate an NAL
exceedance for that same parameter while the facility is in Level 1. Level 2 statuses will commence on
July 1 following the reporting year during which the NAL exceedance(s) occurred.
8.8.3.1 Level 2 ERA Action Plan Level 2 ERA Action Plan prepared by a QISP that addresses each new Level 2 NAL exceedance by
January 1 following the reporting year during which the NAL exceedance(s) occurred. For each new Level
2 NAL exceedance, the Level 2 Action Plan will identify which of the demonstrations in Section 8.8.3.2 the
Facility has selected to perform. A new Level 2 NAL exceedance is any Level 2 NAL exceedance for 1) a
new parameter in any drainage area, or 2) the same parameter that is being addressed in an existing
Level 2 ERA Action Plan in a different drainage area.
The Facility shall certify and submit via SMARTS the QISP’s identification number, name, and contact
information (telephone number, e-mail address) if this information has changed since previous
certifications.
The Level 2 ERA Action Plan shall at a minimum address the drainage areas with corresponding Level 2
NAL exceedances.
All elements of the Level 2 ERA Action Plan shall be implemented as soon as practicable and completed
no later than 1 year after submitting the Level 2 ERA Action Plan.

9. In cases where all of the Facility’s implemented BMPs, including additional BMPs identified in the Level 2 ERA Action Plan, achieve compliance with the effluent limitations of this General Permit but are not expected to eliminate future NAL exceedance(s), the Discharger shall provide, in addition to a description and analysis of all implemented BMPs:
An evaluation of any additional BMPs that would reduce or prevent NAL exceedances;
Estimated costs of the additional BMPs evaluated; and,
An analysis describing the basis for the selection of BMPs implemented in lieu of the additional BMPs evaluated but not implemented.
10. The description and analysis of BMPs required above shall specifically address the drainage areas where the NAL exceedance(s) responsible for the Discharger’s Level 2 status occurred, although any additional Level 2 ERA Action Plan BMPs may be implemented for all drainage areas; and,
11. If an alternative design storm standard for treatment control BMPs (in lieu of the design storm standard for treatment control BMPs Described in Section X.H.6 in this General Permit) will achieve compliance with the effluent limitations of this General Permit, the Discharger shall provide an analysis describing the basis for the selection of the alternative design storm standard.
8.8.3.2.2 Non-Industrial Pollutant Source Demonstration 12. A statement that the Facility has determined that the exceedance of the NAL is
attributable solely to the presence of non-industrial pollutant sources. (The pollutant may also be present due to industrial activities, in which case the Facility must demonstrate that the pollutant contribution from the industrial activities by itself does not result in an NAL exceedance.) The sources shall be identified as either run-on from adjacent

The Level 2 ERA Technical Report shall be prepared by a QISP and be certified and submitted via SMARTS by the Facility with each Annual Report. If there are no changes prompting an update of the Level 2 ERA Technical Report, as specified above, the Facility will provide this certification in the Annual Report that there have been no changes warranting re-submittal of the Level 2 ERA Technical Report.
30. Facilities are not precluded from submitting a Level 2 ERA Action Plan or ERA Technical Report prior to entering Level 2 status if information is available to adequately prepare the report and perform the demonstrations described above. A facility who chooses to submit a Level 2 ERA Action Plan or ERA Technical Report prior to entering Level 2 status will automatically be placed in Level 2 in accordance to the Level 2 ERA schedule.
8.8.3.4 Eligibility for Returning to Baseline Status Facilities with Level 2 status who submit an Industrial Activity BMPs Demonstration in accordance with
Section 8.8.3.2.1 above and have implemented BMPs to prevent future NAL exceedance(s) for the Level
2 parameter(s) shall return to baseline status for that parameter, if results from four (4) subsequent
consecutive QSEs sampled indicate no additional NAL exceedance(s) for that parameter(s). If future NAL
exceedances occur for the same parameter(s), the Facility’s Baseline status will return to Level 2 status
