New Permit Regulations (continued) Maintaining Baseline Status Every industrial facility has the opportunity to start with a clean slate as of July 1st, 2015. Once you go to Level 1 or Level 2 it is difficult to return to baseline status . By fully utilizing BMPs now, you can avoid the additional costs and requirements of Level 1 or Level 2 Status. Level 1 Status If a facility has an exceedance (Annual or Instantaneous) in 2015-16, it will result in a status change to Level 1 for any given parameter in 2016-17. Level 1 requirements: QISP oversight of activities, QISP prepared Exceedance Response Action (ERA) Report completed by Oct. 1 and uploaded to SMARTS by Jan. 1 following status change, and additional BMPs to address exceedances. Level 2 Status If an NAL exceedance for the same parameter takes place in the subsequent reporting year (2016-17), a facility will change to Level 2 Status the following year (2017-18). Level 2 requirements: QISP prepared Level 2 ERA Action Plan and Level 2 ERA Technical Report submitted via SMARTS by Jan. 1 following status change, additional BMPs to address exceedances.

Treatment and disposal to be designed for the maximum daily flow and organic loading generated, including flows from precipitation. Ponds designed to contain all wastewater flows and rainfall during the rainy season and be operated and maintained to prevent inundation or washout due to floods with a 100-year return frequency. Ponds required to maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard at all times. Infiltration considerations. Individual NPDES instead of General NPDES.
