Understanding Your Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Training Course

When stormwater flows through parking lots, chemical storage areas, areas of outside industrial activity, waste management areas material loading and unloading operations and similar areas, it can pick up debris such as chemicals, fertilizers, fecal bacteria, pollutants and other hazardous materials. This now-contaminated stormwater can then flow untreated directly into nearby bodies of water used for swimming, drinking, recreation and farming. Pollution spread by contaminated stormwater is a real problem and understanding your organization’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is the purpose of this program. Topics include the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System, the Multi-Sector General Permit, stormwater pollution prevention teams, site assessments of potential sources of stormwater pollution, various methods of minimizing pollutant exposure, spill and leak response and the three types of stormwater discharge inspections.
