3. Changes in the New Permit: What You Need to Know Now and Next Year
SMARTS: Your results are online and transparent to the Water Board, Third-Party Environmental groups and Attorneys
Exceedances: Numeric Action Levels can trigger consequences for Annual and Instantaneous Maximum Results
Annual (annual average of all results for a given parameter)
Instantaneous Maximum (when two or more results within a reporting year for the basic parameters of pH, TSS and O&G exceed the instantaneous maximum NAL value)
Baseline: Stormwater year is a baseline year – fresh start
Level 1: Exceedance Response Action (ERA) Evaluation and Report by QISP
Level 2: Exceedance Response Action (ERA) Action Plan and Technical Report with Demonstrations by QISP

4. Summary What You Need to Know About Level 1
Facilities with high enough NAL Exceedances fall into Level 1 Status for the stormwater year
What Does Level 1 Require?
An evaluation by a QISP about the facility’s pollutant sources and drainage areas must be completed by October 1st, 2016
The evaluation will specify BMPs to prevent future NAL Exceedances
A report prepared by a QISP must be completed by January 1st, 2017
The report will describe SWPPP revisions and additional BMPs
The report must be certified and submitted via the SMARTS database
