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 , it will result in a status change to Level 1 for any given parameter in
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 ( ), a facility will change to Level 2 Status the following year ( ).
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.

9. Steps to Evaluate Wineries for Coverage
By joining the Frog Environmental Winery Compliance Association,
you will be placed in the correct Compliance Group based on
the type of coverage your facility qualifies for.
Site Visit
Perform site walk to determine eligibility for NEC, NOI or NoNA
NEC
Our expert storm water professionals will determine eligibility and applicability based on industrial activity, materials or waste being exposed to storm water run-off, or the potential to retain enough storm water.
NOI
NoNA

10. Breakdown of Steps NEC NOI NoNA
Can you certify that no exposure exists?
