3. SMARTS All-digital format for new permit That means NO paper submittals allowed after July 1. Checklist LRP designation/registration Submit form by mail Ensure other users are linked properly Ensure all user logins and passwords work LRP needs to recertify the WDID

4. New Permit Tasks Review checklist and forms sent in April email LRP Form New User instructions Recertification Letter Recertification Instructions

5. Visual Observations- Monthly When do I complete observations? All Districts, Every Year, Every Month Once a month, every month of the year. Even months when you had a sample event. Within daytime operating hours On days without precipitation Set a recurring event for early/mid month Example: the second Wednesday of the month, every month. Will need to reschedule if it rains

6. Visual Observations- Monthly Complete forms included in your SWPPP Can complete digitally in order to eliminate the need to print and scan If completing digitally, be sure to add your electronic signature

7. Treat as a monthly site inspection Ensure that nothing is entering the storm drain system during dry weather. If a discharge is found, describe how it was discontinued. Ensure all outdoor areas are clean and maintained. What next? Send copy of form to Sally and Annika sanson@sdcoe.net akubischta@dmaxinc.com Visual Observations: Monthly

8. Visual Observations- Sampling Event When do I complete sampling event visual observations? All Districts, Every Year Complete at the time of sampling. Complete at every sample point. Measure pH using test strips, and include value on form.

9. Visual Observations- Sampling Event What am I looking for? Ensure only rain water enters the storm drains If visual pollutants are present, find and abate the source Floating/suspended materials Oil and grease Discolorations Turbidity Odors Trash/debris What next? Send copy of form to Sally and Annika sanson@sdcoe.net akubischta@dmaxinc.com

10. Visual Observations- Sampling Event Complete form included in your SWPPP Make sure all data is completed, including a sample time for EACH sample point If completing digitally, be sure to add your electronic signature

11. Sampling Events When do I collect a sample? All Districts, Twice Every Year: First sample: July-December Second sample: January-June During a qualified storm event (QSE): No runoff for 48 hours prior to the event Generates runoff during operating hours Within 4 hours of: The start of runoff, OR: The start of facility operations (if runoff started within the prior 12 hours) Within daytime operating hours under safe conditions

12. Storm Water Sample Collection How do I collect a sample? What’s in the EMA cooler? How do I use what’s in the cooler? How do I fill out the Chain of Custody form? I’ve collected the sample, what now?

13. How do I collect a sample? 1.Do a pH paper test 2.Wherever possible, use the sample bottle to collect water directly 3.If another container is used, ensure the container is clean, and rinse with sample water before collecting

14. How do I collect a sample? 3.Avoid collecting leaves or debris 4.Sample flowing, not pooled, water 5.Sample AFTER any installed treatment device 6. Call EMA ASAP to notify of drop-off time 6. Call EMA ASAP to notify of drop-off time (858) 560-7717

15. Sample AFTER any installed treatment device

16. How do I use what’s in the cooler? 1.Fill bottles that contain preservatives first (these have colored dots) 2.Use one of the empty plastic bottles to fill the others, or another clean container 3.Fill the small vials, leaving zero headspace!

17. How do I use what’s in the cooler? Zero Headspace? This means that the bottle must not have bubbles inside: 1.Fill bottles all the way 2.Screw on the lid 3.Turn bottle upside down to check for bubbles 4.If pea-sized or smaller bubble exists, you are done 5.If larger bubble exists, add more sample and check again

18. How do I use what’s in the cooler? Wear gloves! Wear gloves! Label bottles with discharge point number, date, and time of sample Label bottles with discharge point number, date, and time of sample Place bottles in cooler with ice Place bottles in cooler with ice Over-fill bottles that contain preservatives, or fill directly in stream. DO NOT: DO:

20. How do I fill out the chain of custody? Your Name District Name Discharge point # Sample date & time #glass/#plastic (ex: 4g/2-3p) Your info Date & time given/sent to lab personnel

21. I’ve collected the sample, what now? Pack samples carefully using cushion Pack samples carefully using cushion Samples must be sent to EMA (address on COC) Samples must be sent to EMA (address on COC) If shipping, complete “Relinquished by” section If shipping, complete “Relinquished by” section If delivering, wait until arrival at EMA If delivering, wait until arrival at EMA

22. No industrial exposure All activities and materials protected from contact with rainfall or runoff Can file a No-Exposure Certification to get out of No runoff = no sampling! Consider redirecting flows to infiltration areas Other Future Considerations

23. Questions? Thank you for keeping storm water clean!
