5 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for the Palmer Paving, Corporation facility (Palmer Paving) located at 25 Blanchard Street in Palmer, Massachusetts (the Facility). This SWPPP was originally written in accordance with the requirements of the 2008 Multi Sector General Permit (September 2008) regarding Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activity (MSGP) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is the NPDES and storm water discharge permitting agency for Massachusetts, since the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is not a delegated authority for that permitting program. The SWPPP was updated in August 2015 in accordance with the requirements of the 2015 MSGP renewal (June 2015). This Storm Water Discharge Permit will be issued under the authority of the Federal NPDES permit program (40 CFR 122). The Palmer Paving facility performs activities associated with Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 2951 (Sector D: 2951 & 2952: Sub Sector D 1: Asphalt Paving and Roofing Materials and Lubricant Manufacturers) and under SIC Code 1611 (Highway and Street Construction, except Elevated Highways). Facilities included in Sector D of the MSGP are required to register under the provisions of the MSGP Program. A copy of the completed Notice of Intent (NOI) and Certification of Coverage (to be inserted when received from EPA) are included in Appendix A. A copy of the 2015 MSGP Permit is included as Appendix B. This SWPPP was prepared in accordance with sound engineering practices and includes information required by the current MSGP. Necessary certifications are included in Section SWPPP REQUIREMENT The 2015 MSGP requires that the following elements be included in the SWPPP: Storm water pollution prevention team (see Section 2); Site description (see Section , and Figures 1 and 2); Summary of potential pollutant sources (see Section 3); Description of control measures (see Section 4); Schedules and procedures (see Sections 5 9); Documentation to support eligibility considerations under other federal laws for Endangered and Threatened Species and Historic Properties (see Section 1.6 and Appendix D); and Signature requirements (see Section 10).

6 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 2 Where the SWPPP refers to procedures in other facility documents, such as a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan or an Environmental Management System (EMS), copies of the relevant portions of those documents are kept with this SWPPP. 1.3 FACILITY INFORMATION The Palmer Paving facility is located at 25 Blanchard Street in Palmer, Massachusetts. This facility serves as the company s headquarters in addition to providing manufacturing and support services. Operations at this location include hot mix asphalt (HMA) production, equipment maintenance, recycling and crushing work, as well as processed aggregate sales and distribution. Major stationary process equipment at this location includes batch and continuous HMA production units, heated asphalt and finished product storage silos, aggregate and waste oil storage facilities, and material handling equipment including crushers, screens and conveyors used to process recycled asphalt product (RAP), stone, sand and gravel. Also included on the property are a corporate office, vehicle and equipment maintenance building, fleet vehicle fueling station consisting of aboveground gasoline and diesel fuel tanks and dispensing pumps, site contractor equipment storage and parking areas, and employee vehicle parking areas. The facility property is approximately acres (731,800 square feet) in size. Ground surfaces consists of both paved and unpaved areas. A Site Locus is included as Figure 1. A Site Plan is included as Figure 2. The facility is normally staffed 9 hours per day, 5 days per week (Monday through Friday). This schedule may vary during the peak season (March November). There are as many as 30 employees who work at the facility. These employees consist of asphalt and gravel crushing plant laborers, material delivery drivers, asphalt contractors, storage yard laborers, and dispatcher and office staff. 1.4 MATERIAL INVENTORY The materials used, stored and/or produced on site which could impact storm water quality are shown on Table SITE DRAINAGE AND STORM WATER MANAGEMENT The Palmer Paving facility is comprised of four (4) drainage areas as described below: Storm Water Drainage Area (DA 001) Storm water drainage area DA 001 includes the facility s western equipment staging area, designated employee parking area, and a portion of the site property located off

7 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 3 the western exterior wall of the maintenance garage. The drainage area is relatively flat, sloping slightly to the west/northwest directing sheet run off towards a wetland area. Storm water collected within the wetland area drains to an unnamed brook which flows towards the southwest, prior to emptying to the Quaboag River Storm Water Drainage Area (DA 002) Storm water drainage area DA 002 encompasses the remainder of the Palmer Paving facility property located south/southwest of Blanchard Street. The drainage area is relatively flat, sloping slightly to the south/southwest, directing storm water sheet runoff toward three (3) means of discharge to the Quaboag River. These discharge areas include: localized sheet runoff associated with the southwestern portion drainage area DA 002, a catch basin located off the southern corner of the maintenance garage, and a pair of sedimentation basins located within the southern portion of the facility property. Storm water runoff collected in each sedimentation basin is contained until either utilized as recirculation water associated with the sand and gravel operation, absorbed, infiltrated and/or evaporated. However, during a heavy rain event there is potential for the sedimentation basins to overflow and drain to the Quaboag River which runs along the southwestern boundary of the facility property Storm Water Drainage Area (DA 003) Storm water drainage area DA 003 encompasses the area in the vicinity of the sand and gravel operation and a portion of the property located to the east/southeast of the office building. The drainage area is relatively flat, funneling storm water runoff towards two catch basins located to the east of the office building and to the southwest of the gravel crushing processing plant. Storm water collected in each catch basin drains to the pair of sedimentation basins located within the southern portion of the facility property. Storm water runoff collected in each sedimentation basin is contained until either utilized as recirculation water associated with the sand and gravel operation, absorbed, infiltrated and/or evaporated. However, during a heavy rain event there is potential for the sedimentation basins to overflow and drain to the Quaboag River which runs along the southwestern boundary of the facility property Storm Water Drainage Area (DA 004) Storm water drainage area DA 004 encompasses the area in the vicinity of the asphalt manufacturing plant, aggregate storage area (stone bunker), and the bulk waste oil storage area. The drainage area is relatively flat, funneling storm water runoff toward a catch basin located to the northeast of the three asphalt finished product storage cylinders associated with the asphalt plant. Storm water collected in the catch basin drains to the pair of sedimentation basins located within the southern portion of the facility property. Storm water runoff collected in each sedimentation basin is contained

8 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 4 until either utilized as recirculation water associated with the sand and gravel operation, absorbed, infiltrated and/or evaporated. However, during a heavy rain event there is potential for the sedimentation basins to overflow and drain to the Quaboag River which runs along the southwestern boundary of the facility property. 1.6 RECEIVING WATERS AND WETLANDS The Palmer Paving facility is located within the Chicopee River Drainage Basin (Figure 1). Storm water runoff generated within the watershed ultimately travels to the Long Island Sound via the Quaboag, Chicopee, and Connecticut Rivers. A majority of the storm water runoff at the facility is directed toward a pair of sedimentation basins located within the southern portion of the facility property. However, localized sheet runoff associated with the southwestern portion drainage area DA 002 directly discharges to the Quaboag River. Storm water runoff collected in each sedimentation basin is contained until either utilized as recirculation water associated with the gravel crushing process, absorbed, infiltrated and/or evaporated. However, during a heavy rain event there is potential for the sedimentation basins to overflow and drain to the Quaboag River which runs along the southwestern boundary of the facility property, designated as MA Waterbody ID: MA Potential pollutant sources are further described in Section ENDANGERED SPECIES AND HISTORIC PLACES ELIGIBILITY Based on review of information obtained from the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) and Massachusetts Historical Commission, there are no endangered species, threatened species, critical habitats or historic places in the proximity of the discharge locations. The only nearby habitat (Core Area 1246) has no endangered or threatened species or species of concern. Based on site reconnaissance and review of available state mapping resources, authorized discharges from the facility are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any species that are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), result in the adverse modification or destruction of habitat that is designated as critical under the ESA, or affect any property listed under the National Register of Historic Places. The Endangered and Threatened Species determination, therefore, meets the MSGP Criterion A No federally listed threatened or endangered species or their designated critical habitats are likely to occur in the action area of the discharge, as defined in the MSGP. Detailed information is contained in Appendix D. Based on review of information obtained from the Massachusetts Historical Commission, there are no historic places in the proximity of the discharge locations. The Historic Properties Preservation meets the MSGP Criterion A the storm water discharges and allowable nonstorm water discharges do not have the potential to have an effect on historic properties. A copy of the Massachusetts NHESP and Massachusetts Historical Places Commission Reviews are included as Appendix D.

9 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page ALLOWABLE NON STORM WATER DISCHARGES Allowable Non Storm Water Discharges for all Sectors of Industrial Activity include: Discharges from emergency/unplanned fire fighting activities; Fire hydrant flushings; Potable water, including water line flushings; Uncontaminated condensate from air conditioners, coolers/chillers, and other compressors and from the outside storage of refrigerated gases or liquids; Irrigation drainage; Landscape watering provided all pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers have been applied in accordance with the approved labeling; Pavement wash waters where no detergents or hazardous cleaning products are used (e.g., bleach, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, nonylphenols), and the wash waters do not come into contact with oil and grease deposits, sources of pollutants associated with industrial activities (see Part 5.2.3), or any other toxic or hazardous materials, unless residues are first cleaned up using dry clean up methods (e.g., applying absorbent materials and sweeping, using hydrophobic mops/rags) and you have implemented appropriate control measures to minimize discharges of mobilized solids and other pollutants (e.g., filtration, detention; settlement); Routine external building washdown/power wash water that does not use detergents or hazardous cleaning products (e.g., those containing bleach, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, nonylphenols); Uncontaminated ground water or spring water; Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials; and Incidental windblown mist from cooling towers that collects on rooftops or adjacent portions of the facility, but not intentional discharges from the cooling tower (e.g., piped cooling tower blowdown; drains).

13 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES 3.1 POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES The majority of daily operations occurring at the Palmer Paving facility take place outdoors. Table 2 summarizes several locations at the facility where industrial materials and activities potentially are exposed to storm water; potential pollutants associated with these materials/activities; and associated potential impacts. These materials are stored in up to seven (7) material storage locations. Hazardous materials described in the following storage locations may include: waste oil, gear oil, gasoline and diesel fuel, and liquid asphalt Outdoor Storage and Disposal Areas The main material storage area is located off the southwestern and east/southeastern exterior walls of the facility s maintenance garage. This area includes: two covered 10 yard solid waste storage containers, several 55 gallon steel drums containing waste oil and vegetable oil, several tires, a steel storage container containing new tire storage for fleet vehicles, a box trailer containing storage of several miscellaneous materials of trade (Note: Battery Storage Area), a 1,000 gallon plastic aboveground storage tank (AST) containing canola oil, a drum storage shed containing several 55 gallon steel drums (drum contents may consist of waste oil and anti freeze), and a propane tank storage shed (houses several propane tanks of various quantities). The facility has a bulk waste oil storage area located within the northern portion of the site property. Waste oil stored in this area may be utilized during the asphalt concrete manufacturing process. This area includes two 15,000 gallon AST tanks containing waste oil. These ASTs are installed within a full containment dike and a fully covered with a roof. There is no exposure to storm water or potential runoff. The facility is equipped with an on site fueling station for fleet vehicle use only located to the west/northwest of the office building. This area includes one 10,000 gallon diesel fuel AST and one 3,000 gallon gasoline AST. These ASTs are equipped with either double wall construction or secondary containment. The facility s asphalt manufacturing plant is located within the central portion of the property. The entire asphalt manufacturing process is enclosed. Located atop of the three asphalt finished product storage cylinders (200 tons each) associated with the asphalt plant is a 275 gallon hot oil AST. In addition, a material storage area associated with the asphalt plant manufacturing process is located to the east/southeast of the plant. This area includes three 35,000 gallon ASTs utilized for liquid asphalt storage, which are installed within a diked area, which contains leaks and prevents storm water runoff. There is also one 1,000 gallon No. 2 fuel oil AST utilized to fuel the asphalt

14 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 10 plant s liquid asphalt heating units. These ASTs, with the exception of the 275 gallon AST are equipped with either double wall construction or secondary containment. The facility s gravel crushing processing plant is located within the eastern/northeastern portion of the property. The gravel crushing process is not entirely covered. Each of gravel crushing units are equipped with a 100 gallon gear oil reservoir AST. The facility has two designated staging areas concerning heavy equipment of trade and fleet vehicles. The main staging area is located within the central portion of the facility property. The second staging area, which includes employee parking, is located off the northern and northeastern exterior walls of the maintenance garage. In addition to the material storage locations described above, the Palmer Paving facility has several satellite storage areas located throughout the property. These storage locations may include: retired paving equipment and fleet vehicles, abandoned ASTs, empty storage drums, drainage piping, traffic management and safety equipment, scrap metal stockpiles, and other various types of retired equipment associated with the asphalt manufacturing and paving trade. Potential pollutant sources include solid waste litter, stockpile runoff, oil and grease from vehicle traffic (typical parking lot run off), material offloading, AST refueling delivery operations, potential fuel pump overfill residual, shipping and receiving areas (material receiving scale, asphalt plant, gravel crushing plant, stockpile locations) of the facility, and roadway sediment migration. All material accepted by the facility are received at the scale and office building. Each material storage and manufacturing location has a designated material receiving area where the transfer of material occurs. When possible, transfer activities are not exposed to storm water precipitation. Potential pollutant sources would include spills or leaks from materials being received and oil, fuel and lubricant runoff associated with material offloading activities. Third party, commercial vendors are selected for waste management operations. Waste containers that do not contain free liquids or other hazardous materials will either remain within designated storage areas and/or covered unless being loaded or unloaded. Commercial vendor vehicles transiting the site are operated by qualified drivers and maintained in accordance with vendor and USDOT requirements. The Palmer Paving facility utilizes a box trailer located off the south/southwestern exterior wall of the maintenance garage for storage of several miscellaneous materials of trade and fleet vehicle batteries. All batteries are replaced on an as needed basis and are returned to the distribution vendor prior to being delivered to a recycling facility.

15 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 11 Any liquids that are being recycled, such as oil, will be handled in accordance with prevailing Federal and State regulations regarding the containers, storage conditions, containment, inventory records, and quantities Vehicle Refueling Areas The Palmer Paving facility is equipped with an on site fueling station (10,000 gallon (diesel) AST and 3,000 gallon (gasoline) AST) utilized only by fleet vehicles which is located to the west/northwest of the office building. Palmer Paving management does not allow fuel deliveries to be completed during a rain event and/or without the direct supervision of trained facility personnel. There is a potential for diesel fuel and/or gasoline over fill residual to impact storm water run off at the facility property Vehicle Cleaning and Maintenance Areas A majority of the maintenance activities at the Palmer Paving facility occur within the maintenance garage. However, in the case of a vehicle or equipment being too large to enter the maintenance garage bay, the vehicle or equipment will be parked within the paved area located off the eastern/northeastern exterior wall of the maintenance garage. Vehicle or equipment washing activities utilizing a biodegradable soap are also preformed within this paved area. Private vehicles are restricted to designated parking areas only. In the event of a fluid leak or spill, standard spill response procedures shall be used. Any on site private vehicle washing and/or maintenance is prohibited. A curtain floor drain bisects the maintenance garage s floor; however, it has been properly decommissioned. The asphalt plant is equipped with a Spray Saver asphalt release agent application unit. Prior to dispensing asphalt, the asphalt plant operator sprays an application of ZEP 6690 Asphalt Release Agent (a solvent free water based solution) to each asphalt hauler s dump bed to prevent asphalt from sticking and to allow for the entire asphalt load to slide easily from the truck during deliveries Dust or Particle Control Activities that could result in soil disturbance, chemical spills, solid waste spills and/or releases associated with vehicles and/or equipment are strictly monitored. The facility exterior is patrolled daily by maintenance staff. Parking lots and other exterior areas are kept free of trash and litter. Employees are trained to report problems to supervisors. To control dust emissions during dry weather conditions, the Palmer Paving facility utilizes wet methods (water truck) to consistently mist down work and travel areas several times a day.

16 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 12 No landscaping activities are performed at the Palmer Paving facility. The task of litter clean up of the exterior grounds and sweeping of paved areas is completed as needed. 3.2 SPILL HISTORY According to Palmer Paving facility personnel, no reportable spills have occurred at the facility within the past 3 years. Table 3 will be used to record future spills at the facility.

17 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page CONTROL MEASURES The MSGP requires the facility to select, design, install, and implement control measures (including best management practices) to minimize pollutant discharges and meet the water quality based effluent limitations. The selection, design, installation, and implementation of these control measures must be in accordance with good engineering practices and manufacturer s specifications. Any deviation from such manufacturer s specifications that describes control measures must be justified and documentation of the rationale must be included in this part of the SWPPP, consistent with MSGP Part If the control measures are not achieving their intended effect of minimizing pollutant discharges to meet applicable water quality standards or any of the other non numeric effluent limits in the NPDES permit, a modification to those control measures must be taken per the corrective action requirements in MSGP Part 4. Regulated storm water discharges from the facility include storm water run on that commingles with storm water discharges associated with industrial activity at the facility. In selecting and designing control measures, the following were considered: Preventing storm water from coming into contact with polluting materials is generally more effective, and less costly, than trying to remove pollutants from storm water; Using control measures in combination may be more effective than using control measures in isolation for minimizing pollutants in storm water discharge; Assessing the type and quantity of pollutants, including their potential to impact receiving water quality, is critical to designing effective control measures that will achieve the limits in the Permit; Minimizing impervious areas at the facility and infiltrating runoff on site (including bioretention cells, green roofs, and pervious pavement, among other approaches) can reduce runoff and improve ground water recharge and stream base flows in local streams, although care must be taken to avoid ground water contamination; Attenuating flow using open vegetated swales and natural depressions can reduce instream impacts of erosive flows; Conserving and/or restoring riparian buffers will help protect streams from storm water runoff and improve water quality; and Using treatment interceptors (e.g., swirl separators and sand filters) may be appropriate in some instances to minimize the discharge of pollutants. The control measure to be practiced at the Palmer Paving facility are adequate for reducing the potential for storm water contamination from general facility operations and the specific potential pollutant sources identified in Section 3.0. Many of the procedures and programs in place are required under other regulations including OSHA Health and Safety requirements, and various Massachusetts regulations. Additional BMPs to be implemented at the facility are summarized below.

18 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 14 Measures and controls currently employed or recommended are described in Table 4 concerning each of the identified potential pollutant sources. Facility personnel shall perform the following BMPs: Non Structural BMPs (See Table 4 Details) o Minimize Exposure o Good Housekeeping o Preventative Maintenance o Spill Prevention and Response (Implementing SPCC Plan) o Erosion and Sedimentation Controls o Management of Runoff o Salt Storage Piles o Employee Training o Non Storm Water Discharge o Dust Generation and Vehicle Tracking of Industrial Materials o Structural BMPs o A majority of the maintenance activities performed at the Palmer Paving facility occur in the maintenance garage. However, in the case of a vehicle or equipment being too large to enter the maintenance garage bay, the vehicle or equipment will be parked within the paved area located off the eastern/northeastern exterior wall of the maintenance garage. To prevent a release to the environment, the maintenance facility s concrete floor in maintenance garage is designed to slope away from the interior perimeter of the building towards the center of the building. A curtain floor drain bisects the floor of the maintenance garage; however, has been properly decommissioned. o Sediment and Erosion Control: When warranted, soils and other materials resulting from stockpiling and/or excavation will be enclosed/contained within concrete berms and/or silt fencing when not being handled. Storm water runoff that comes in contact with site activities shall be directed through silt fencing and/or hay bales. o Management of Runoff: The site is graded so that a majority of the facility s runoff will enter a pair of sedimentation basins. Storm water runoff collected in each sedimentation basin is contained until either utilized as recirculation water associated with the gravel crushing process, absorbed, infiltrated and/or evaporated. However, during a heavy rain event there is potential for the sedimentation basins to overflow and drain to the Quaboag River which runs along the southwestern boundary of the facility property. Each sedimentation basin will be inspected quarterly and sediment removed annually to maintain proper function.

19 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The Palmer Paving facility s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team will implement each BMP identified in Section 4.0. Inspections for BMPs shall be conducted during quarterly storm water sampling events and routine inspections. They shall also be conducted following the implementation of the facility s SPCC Plan. Quarterly storm water site compliance evaluation form(s) are provided in Appendix C. When possible, quarterly storm water sampling events and inspections should be conducted during or immediately after a rainfall event producing a discharge. Any deficiencies or modifications observed during these inspections including the elimination, movement and/or creation of an exposed area and/or pollution source will be noted on the appropriate inspection form. The SWPPP will be updated to reflect this information as needed. Modifications to the plan will be recorded in the SWPPP in Appendix E. The proper inspection form and/or follow up action documentation shall be maintained with this SWPPP.

20 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page STORM WATER MONITORING PROGRAM 6.1 WATER QUALITY STANDARDS The storm water discharge must be controlled as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards of all affected states (i.e., the discharge must not cause or contribute to an exceedance of applicable water quality standards in any affected state). 6.2 ROUTINE FACILITY INSPECTIONS During normal facility operating hours, the Palmer Paving facility conducts inspections of areas of the facility, including, but not limited to, the following: Areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water; Areas identified in the SWPPP and those that are potential pollutant sources; Areas where spills and leaks have occurred in the past three years; Discharge points; and Control measures used to comply with the MSGP effluent limits. Inspections are conducted at least quarterly (i.e., once each calendar quarter), or in some instances more frequently (e.g., monthly). Increased frequency may be appropriate for some types of equipment, processes and storm water control measures, or areas of the facility with significant activities and materials exposed to storm water. At least once each calendar year, the routine inspection will be conducted during a period when a storm water discharge is occurring. Inspections are performed by qualified personnel (as defined in MSGP Appendix A) with at least one member of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team participating. Inspectors will consider the results of visual and analytical monitoring (if any) for the past year when planning and conducting inspections. During the inspection the inspector will examine or look out for the following: Industrial materials, residue or trash that may have or could come into contact with storm water; Leaks or spills from industrial equipment, drums, tanks and other containers; Offsite tracking of industrial or waste materials, or sediment where vehicles enter or exit the site; Tracking or blowing of raw, final or waste materials from areas of no exposure to exposed areas;

21 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 17 Control measures needing replacement, maintenance or repair. During an inspection occurring during a storm water event or discharge, control measures implemented to comply with effluent limits are observed to ensure they are functioning correctly. Discharge points, as defined in MSGP Appendix A, are also observed during this inspection. If such discharge locations are inaccessible, nearby downstream locations will be inspected Routine Facility Inspection Documentation Routine facility inspection reports will be maintained with this SWPPP as required in MSGP Part 5.5. A summary of the routine facility inspection report findings will be included in the Annual Report that is submitted to the EPA per MSGP Part 7.5. Document all findings, including but not limited to, the following information: The inspection date and time; The name(s) and signature(s) of the inspector(s); Weather information; All observations relating to the implementation of control measures at the facility, including: A description of any discharges occurring at the time of the inspection; Any previously unidentified discharges from and/or pollutants at the site; Any evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system; Observations regarding the physical condition of and around all outfalls, including any flow dissipation devices, and evidence of pollutants in discharges and/or the receiving water; Any control measures needing maintenance, repairs, or replacement; Any additional control measures needed to comply with the permit requirements; Any incidents of noncompliance; and A statement, signed and certified in accordance with Appendix B, Subsection 11 of the MSGP. Any corrective action required as a result of a routine facility inspection must be performed consistent with Part 4 of the MSGP.

22 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page QUARTERLY VISUAL EXAMINATIONS The 2015 NPDES MSGP requires that visual examinations associated with storm water discharge from drainage areas DA 001, DA 002, DA 003, and DA 004 be performed on a quarterly basis throughout the term of the permit. At least one examination will be performed on the discharge (if any discharges occur) during each quarter: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Each examination will be performed by a member of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team and/or a qualified designee. Samples will be collected within the first 30 minutes of storm water discharge and examined for any color, odor, solids, oil sheen, etc. Monitoring requirements according to the 2015 MSGP begin in the first full quarter following either September 2, 2015 or the date of storm water discharge authorization, whichever comes later. Samples will be collected and visually examined from the following facility outfall sample locations in accordance with the sample collection procedures outlined below: DA 001 DA 002 DA 003 DA 004 Sampling for quarterly visual examinations are conducted according to the following criteria: 1. Sampling is conducted during a storm event that produces storm water discharge and occurs at least 72 hours following any previous storm event which produces storm water discharge. One quarterly visual examination storm water event is conducted during a period of snow melt. 2. Grab samples are to be used for all monitoring. Grab samples are to be collected within the first 30 minutes of an actual discharge from a storm event. If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of discharge, the sample will be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and sampling personnel will document why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes. In the case of snowmelt, samples will be taken during a period with a measurable discharge from the site. Visual examination of the storm water samples will be recorded on a Quarterly Inspection Form (Appendix C) and include the following observations: Inspection personnel; The date and time; Nature of the discharge (snowmelt/rainfall); Color;

23 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 19 Odor; Clarity (diminished); Solids (Floating, Settled, Suspended); Foam; Oil Sheen; and, Other obvious indicators of storm water pollution. Documentation of the sampling will include: Sample location(s); Sample collection date and time, and visual assessment date and time for each sample; Personnel collecting the sample and performing visual assessment, and their signatures; Nature of the discharge (i.e., runoff or snowmelt); Results of observations of the storm water discharge; Probable sources of any observed storm water contamination; If applicable, why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes; and A statement, signed and certified in accordance with MSGP Appendix B, Subsection 11. Any corrective action required as a result of a quarterly visual assessment must be performed consistent with MSGP Part 4. If no qualifying storm event resulted in runoff from the facility during a monitoring quarter, this information will be documented, certified, and retained on file. All completed quarterly visual examination forms will remain on file for a period of three years following expiration of the 2015 NPDES MSGP. The following outlines the storm water sample collection procedure to be followed for each identified outfall. Use a clean dedicated transfer container to collect samples. Place a clean container under the outfall s discharge and rinse three times with storm water. If a clean container is not available, samples may be collected directly from the outfall. Fill the collection container with storm water without disturbing the surrounding area. Cover container and move to area where the visual inspection can be performed and if warranted sub samples can be prepared. *As an option, a clean dedicated EPA approved Nalgene Storm Water Auto Sampler can used to collect storm water samples. Retrieve the sampler after a qualifying rain event. Cover container and move to area where the visual inspection can be performed and if warranted sub samples can be prepared.

24 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 20 Prepare all samples by pouring off storm water from the collection container. (Do not transfer sample between sample jars or transfer sample storm water back into the collection container.) If applicable, all samples collected regarding Effluent Limitation and Benchmark Monitoring laboratory analysis requirements will be done so in approved laboratory sample glassware, iced during transport, delivered to a state certified laboratory, and submitted with a completed chain of custody for analysis. When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples according to the relevant monitoring schedule, a substitute sample will be taken during the next qualifying storm event. If limited rainfall occurs during parts of the year or freezing conditions exist that prevent runoff from occurring for extended periods, required visual observations will be distributed during seasons when precipitation occurs, or when snowmelt results in a measurable discharge. At least one quarter visual assessment will capture snowmelt discharge. Completed field sheets for each sample collection event will be retained in the Palmer Paving facility files for a period of three years following expiration of the 2015 NPDES MSGP. 6.4 MONITORING PROCEDURES Measurable Storm Events All required monitoring will be performed on a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the site ( measurable storm event ) that follows the preceding measurable storm event by at least 72 hours (three days). The 72 hour (3 day) storm interval does not apply if you are able to document that less than a 72 hour (3 day) interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. In the case of snowmelt, the monitoring must be performed at a time when a measurable discharge occurs at the site. For each monitoring event, except snowmelt monitoring, you must identify the date and duration (in hours) of the rainfall event, rainfall total (in inches) for that rainfall event, and time (in days) since the previous measurable storm event. For snowmelt monitoring, you must identify the date of the sampling event Sample Type A minimum of one grab sample from a discharge resulting from a measurable storm event will be taken. Samples will be collected within the first 30 minutes of a discharge associated with a measurable storm event. If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of a measurable storm event, the sample will be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and documentation will be kept with the

25 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 21 SWPPP explaining why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes. In the case of snowmelt, samples will be taken during a period with a measurable discharge Adverse Weather Conditions When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples according to the relevant monitoring schedule, a substitute sample will be taken during the next qualifying storm event. Adverse weather does not exempt the facility from having to file a benchmark monitoring report in accordance with its sampling schedule. NetDMR will be used to report any failure to monitor using a no data or NODI code during the regular reporting period Monitoring Periods Monitoring requirements begin in the first full quarter following either September 2, 2015 or date of discharge authorization, whichever date comes later. If monitoring is required on a quarterly basis (e.g., benchmark monitoring), the facility will monitor at least once in each of the following 3 month intervals: o January 1 March 31; o April 1 June 30; o July 1 September 30; o October 1 December 31. This monitoring schedule may be modified in accordance with MSGP Part if the revised schedule is documented with the SWPPP. However, using NetDMR a no data or NODI code must be used for any 3 month interval that a sample was not taken Monitoring Reports Monitoring data will be reported using EPA s electronic NetDMR tool. 6.5 REQUIRED MONITORING The MSGP includes five types of required analytical monitoring: o Quarterly benchmark monitoring (see MSGP Part 6.2.1); o Annual effluent limitations guidelines monitoring (see MSGP Part 6.2.2); o State or tribal specific monitoring (see MSGP Part 6.2.3); o Impaired waters monitoring (see MSGP Part 6.2.4); and

26 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 22 o Other monitoring as required by EPA (see MSGP Part 6.2.5). When more than one type of monitoring for the same pollutant at the same outfall applies (e.g., total suspended solids once per year for an effluent limitation and once per quarter for benchmark monitoring at a given outfall), a single sample may be used to satisfy both monitoring requirements (i.e., one sample satisfying both the annual effluent limitation sample and one of the four quarterly benchmark monitoring samples). When the effluent limitation is lower than the benchmark concentration for the same pollutant, the corrective action trigger is based on an exceedance of the effluent limitation, which would be subject to the corrective action requirements of MSGP Part 4.1. All required monitoring must be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in MSGP Appendix B, Subsection B Benchmark Monitoring The MSGP specifies pollutant benchmark concentrations that are applicable to certain sectors/subsectors. Benchmark monitoring data are primarily used to determine the overall effectiveness of control measures and to assist in determining when additional corrective action(s) may be necessary to comply with the effluent limitations in MSGP Part 2. The benchmark concentrations are not effluent limitations; a benchmark exceedance, therefore, is not a permit violation. However, if corrective action is required as a result of a benchmark exceedance, failure to conduct required corrective action is a permit violation. More than four samples may be taken during separate runoff events and used to determine the average benchmark parameter concentration for facility discharges Benchmark Monitoring Schedule Benchmark monitoring must be conducted quarterly, as identified in MSGP Part 6.1.7, for the first four full quarters of permit coverage commencing no earlier than September 2, Facilities in climates with irregular storm water runoff, as described in MSGP Part 6.1.6, may modify this quarterly schedule provided that this revised schedule is reported directly to EPA by the due date of the first benchmark sample (see EPA Regional contacts in MSGP Part 7.9.1), and that this revised schedule is kept with the facility s SWPPP as specified in MSGP Part 5.5. When conditions prevent the facility from obtaining four samples in four consecutive quarters, the facility must continue monitoring until it has the four samples required for calculating the benchmark monitoring average. As noted in MSGP Part 6.1.7, NetDMR must be used to report the

27 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 23 data using a no data or NODI code for any 3 month interval for which no sample was taken. Data not exceeding benchmarks: After collection of four quarterly samples, if the average of the four monitoring values for any parameter does not exceed the benchmark, the facility has fulfilled the monitoring requirements for that parameter for the permit term. Data exceeding benchmarks: After collection of four quarterly samples, if the average of the four monitoring values for any parameter exceeds the benchmark, the facility must review the selection, design, installation, and implementation of control measures to determine if modifications are necessary to meet the effluent limits in the Permit, and either: Make the necessary modifications and continue quarterly monitoring until the facility has completed four additional quarters of monitoring for which the average does not exceed the benchmark; or Make a determination that no further pollutant reductions are technologically available and economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practice to meet the technology based effluent limits or are necessary to meet the water quality based effluent limitations in MSGP Parts 2.1 and 2.2 of the Permit, in which case the facility must continue monitoring once per year. Documentation on the rationale for concluding that no further pollutant reductions are achievable must be included in the SWPPP, and retain all records related to this documentation with this SWPPP. For benchmark monitoring, the facility is required to submit sampling results to EPA no later than 30 days after receiving laboratory results for each quarter that the facility is required to collect benchmark samples, in accordance with the NPDES MSGP. If the facility has collected multiple samples in a single quarter (e.g., due to adverse weather conditions, climates with irregular storm water runoff, or areas subject to snow), the facility is required to submit all sampling results to EPA within 30 days of receiving the laboratory results Palmer Benchmark Monitoring Required The Palmer Paving facility has four drainage areas which potentially discharge storm water to surface water. The monitoring requirements outlined in the current NPDES MSGP (June 2015) specifies that Sector D facilities are required to fulfill quarterly Benchmark Monitoring associated with storm water discharge from each drainage location (DA 001, DA 002, DA 003, and DA 004). Monitoring must be conducted in each of the four quarters of permit coverage. However, after the collection of four quarterly sample events, if the average of the four monitoring values for any required parameter

28 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 24 does not exceed the specified benchmark, the facility has fulfilled the monitoring requirements for that parameter for the remainder of the permit term. Storm water run off produced by the Palmer Paving facility does not discharge directly to an Impaired Water Line and/or Impaired Water. Therefore, the facility is not subject to any additional EPA approved or established TMDL sampling requirements described in Section of the MSGP. Sector D: Sub Sector D1 (SIC 2951) Benchmark Monitoring Requirements The following monitoring requirements are according to the 2015 MSGP and shall begin in the first full quarter following either September 2, 2015 or the date of discharge authorization, whichever comes later. Monitoring Parameters Cut Off Concentrations Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 100 mg/l Analytical methods as specified in 40 CFR 136 Other Limits Effluent Limitations Monitoring The facility is not subject to any Emissions Limitation Monitoring (MSGP Table 6 1) State or Tribal Monitoring The facility is not subject to any State or Tribal Monitoring Impaired Waters Monitoring The latest (2012) EPA Waterbody Assessment Report indicates that the Quaboag River Section MA (Warren WWTP discharge to Route 32 bridge at Palmer/Monson) is impaired by Fecal Coliform, with the cause of impairment group Pathogens, so annual impaired waters monitoring is required for Fecal Coliform. The river is classified as a warm water, and is not a Tier 2, Tier 2.5 or Tier 3 High Quality Water. Beginning in the first full quarter following September 2, 2015 or the date of discharge authorization, whichever date comes later, the facility must monitor all pollutants for which the waterbody is impaired and for which a standard analytical method exists (see 40 CFR Part 136) once per year at each outfall discharging storm water to impaired waters without an EPA approved or established TMDL. If the pollutant of concern is not detected and not expected to be present in the discharge, or it is detected but the facility has determined that its presence is caused solely by natural background sources, the facility may discontinue monitoring for that pollutant.

29 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page Additional Monitoring Required by EPA EPA may notify the facility of additional discharge monitoring requirements that EPA determines are necessary to meet the permit s effluent limitations. Any such notice will briefly state the reasons for the monitoring, locations, and parameters to be monitored, frequency and period of monitoring, sample types, and reporting requirements. Monitoring and Inspection requirements are summarized in Table 5.

30 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page TRAINING 7.1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION TRAINING At a minimum, the Palmer Paving facility will conduct training annually. The intent of this training is to inform the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team and employees associated with facility operations of the components and goals of the SWPPP. This training shall consist of reviewing the SWPPP, emphasizing good housekeeping and spill prevention and response requirements. All training records are to be maintained and kept with the SWPPP for a minimum of three years after the expiration of the Permit. Training topics include the following items: An overview of what is in the SWPPP; Spill response procedures, good housekeeping, maintenance requirements, and material management practices; The location of all controls on the site required by the Permit, and how they are to be maintained; A review of the proper measures and controls to be used by employees on a regular basis, including those included in the Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure Plan (SPCC); Standard housekeeping measures including used oil and battery management; Material handling procedures A review of the most recent inspection results and any resulting changes or new requirements to the storm water pollution prevention plan; and A review of sampling methodology. Records of all training shall be maintained in the facility s SWPPP. The facility s Training Log is presented in Appendix C. For all training, the date of the training or meeting session and the names of the personnel attending the session will be recorded in the Log. 7.2 GENERAL PERSONNEL TRAINING All personnel associated with facility operations are provided training and orientation to ensure they can competently perform their job duties. Personnel training will be conducted either while on the job, under the direct supervision of appropriate personnel, or through classroom training. Facility personnel are trained that care and good judgment are the best means of preventing a spill. All employees who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, or who are responsible for implementing activities necessary to meet the conditions of the Permit (e.g., inspectors, maintenance personnel), including all members of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team. The following personnel will be trained to understand the

31 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 27 requirements of the Permit and their specific responsibilities with respect to those requirements: o Personnel who are responsible for the design, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of controls (including pollution prevention measures); o Personnel responsible for the storage and handling of chemicals and materials that could become contaminants in storm water discharges; o Personnel who are responsible for conducting and documenting monitoring and inspections as required in MSGP Parts 3 and 6; and o Personnel who are responsible for taking and documenting corrective actions (Section 9).

32 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page SUBMITTING THE NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) 8.0 REPORTS AND RECORDKEEPING To be covered under the Permit, Palmer Paving submitted to EPA a complete and accurate NOI by September 2, The NOI certified to EPA that Palmer Paving is eligible for coverage according to MSGP Part 1.1, and provided information on industrial activities and related discharges at the site. An update to Palmer Paving s SWPPP was conducted to be consistent with MSGP Part 5 prior to submittal of the NOI for coverage under the Permit. A copy of the SWPPP was posted on the Internet per MSGP Part and the URL was included on the NOI. If the Permit is not reissued or replaced prior to the expiration date, it will be administratively continued in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and 40 CFR and remain in force and effect for discharges that were covered prior to expiration. 8.2 ELECTRONIC REPORTING REQUIREMENT All NOIs, Annual Reports, Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), and other reporting information as appropriate will be submitted electronically. 8.3 SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO EPA Most information required to be submitted by the Permit will be submitted via EPA s electronic NPDES ereporting tool (NeT), unless the Permit states otherwise or unless a waiver has been granted. NeT allows both the preparation and submittal of required forms under the Permit. Information required to be submitted to EPA via NeT: Notice of Intent (Part 1.2); No Exposure Certification (Part 1.4); Notice of Termination (Part 1.3); and Annual Report (Part 7.5). DMRs are required to be submitted using EPA s NetDMR system. 8.4 REPORTING MONITORING DATA TO EPA All monitoring data collected pursuant to Part 6.2 will be submitted to EPA using EPA s NetDMR system (unless a waiver from electronic reporting has been granted, in which case a paper DMR form may be submitted) no later than 30 days after receipt of complete laboratory results for all monitoring outfalls for the reporting period. Monitoring requirements (i.e., parameters

33 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 29 required to be monitored and sample frequency) will be prepopulated on the electronic DMR form based on the information reported on the NOI form (through the NDPES ereporting tool (NeT)). Accordingly, the following changes to monitoring frequency will be reported to EPA through the submittal of a Change NOI form in NeT, which will trigger changes to the monitoring requirements in NetDMR: All benchmark monitoring requirements have been fulfilled for the permit term; All impaired waters monitoring requirements have been fulfilled for the permit term; Benchmark and/or impaired monitoring requirements no longer apply because the facility is inactive and unstaffed; Benchmark and/or impaired monitoring requirements now apply because the facility has changed from inactive and unstaffed to active and staffed; For Sector G2 only: Discharges from waste rock and overburden piles have exceeded benchmark values; A numeric effluent limitation guideline has been exceeded; A numeric effluent limitation guideline exceedance is back in compliance. Once monitoring requirements have been completely fulfilled, the facility will no longer be required to report monitoring results using NetDMR. If benchmark monitoring and/or impaired waters monitoring requirements have only been partially filled (e.g., the four quarterly average is below the benchmark for some, but not all, parameters; all impairment pollutants were not detected), the facility must continue to use NetDMR to report results, but must report a no data or NODI code for any monitoring parameters that have been fulfilled. 8.5 ANNUAL REPORT An Annual Report will be submitted to EPA electronically, per Part 7.2, by January 30th for each year of permit coverage containing information generated from the past calendar year. It must include the following information: A summary of the past year s routine facility inspection documentation (Part 3.1.2). A summary of the past year s quarterly visual assessment documentation (Part 3.2.2); For any four sample (minimum) average benchmark monitoring exceedance, if after reviewing the selection, design, installation, and implementation of control measures and considering whether any modifications are necessary to meet the effluent limits in the Permit, it is determined that no further pollutant reductions are technologically available and economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practice, the rationale for why it is believed no further reductions are achievable (Part ); and

34 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 30 A summary of past year s corrective action documentation (Part 4.4). If corrective action is not yet completed at the time of submission of the annual report, the status of any outstanding corrective action(s) must be described. Also describe any incidents of noncompliance in the past year or currently ongoing, or if none, provide a statement that the facility in compliance with the Permit. The Annual Report must also include a statement, signed and certified in accordance with Appendix B, Subsection ADDITIONAL REPORTING In addition to the reporting requirements stipulated in MSGP Part 7, the facility is also subject to the standard permit reporting provisions of MSGP Appendix B, Subsection 12. The following reports will be reported to the appropriate EPA Regional Office listed in Part 7.9.1, as applicable. 24 hour reporting (see MSGP Appendix B, Subsection 12.F) report any noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment. Any information will be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the facility became aware of the circumstances; 5 day follow up reporting to the 24 hour reporting (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.F) A written submission will be provided within five days of the time the facility became aware of the circumstances; Reportable quantity spills (see Part ) provide notification, as required under Part , as soon as there is knowledge of a leak, spill, or other release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity; Planned changes (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.A) give notice to EPA promptly, no fewer than 30 days prior to making any planned physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility that qualify the facility as a new source or that could significantly change the nature or significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged; Anticipated noncompliance (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.B) give advance notice to EPA of any planned changes in the permitted facility or activity which will result in noncompliance with permit requirements; Compliance schedules (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.F) Reports of compliance or noncompliance with, or any progress reports on, interim and final requirements contained in any compliance schedule of the Permit will be submitted no later than 14 days following each schedule date; Other noncompliance (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.G) report all instances of noncompliance not reported in the annual report, compliance schedule report, or 24 hour report at the time monitoring reports are submitted; and

35 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 31 Other information (see Appendix B, Subsection 12.H) submit facts or information if the facility became aware that it failed to submit relevant facts in the NOI, or that incorrect information was submitted in the NOI or in any report. 8.7 RECORDKEEPING All copies of the SWPPP (including any modifications made during the term of the Permit), additional documentation requirements pursuant to Part 5.5 (including documentation related to corrective actions taken pursuant to Part 4), all reports and certifications required by the Permit, monitoring data, and records of all data used to complete the NOI to be covered by the Permit, will be maintained for a period of at least three years from the date that coverage under the Permit expired or is terminated. 8.8 ADDRESSES FOR REPORTS The address for EPA Region 1 (Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) is as follows: U.S. EPA Region 1 Office of Ecosystem Protection Storm Water and Construction Permits Section 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100 (OEP 06 1) Boston, MA If there is a transfer of ownership and/or operation, the entity acquiring the facility will submit a complete and accurate NOI in accordance with the requirements of the MSGP and by the deadlines specified in MSGP Table 1 2.

36 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 32 The Palmer Paving facility is required to keep the following inspection, monitoring, and certification records complete and up to date, and demonstrate full compliance with the conditions of the Permit: A copy of the NOI submitted to EPA along with any correspondence exchanged between the facility and EPA specific to coverage under the Permit; A copy of the acknowledgment letter the facility received from the NOI Processing Center or enoi system assigning the facility s permit tracking number; A copy of the Permit (an electronic copy easily available to SWPPP personnel is also acceptable); Descriptions and dates of any incidences of significant spills, leaks, or other releases that resulted in discharges of pollutants to waters of the U.S., through storm water or otherwise; the circumstances leading to the release and actions taken in response to the release; and measures taken to prevent the recurrence of such releases; Records of employee training, including date training received; Documentation of maintenance and repairs of control measures, including the date(s) of regular maintenance, date(s) of discovery of areas in need of repair/replacement, and for repairs, date(s) that the control measure(s) returned to full function, and the justification for any extended maintenance/repair schedules; All inspection reports, including the Routine Facility Inspection Reports, the Quarterly Visual Assessment Reports, and the Annual Reports; Description of any deviations from the schedule for visual assessments and/or monitoring, and the reason for the deviations (e.g., adverse weather or it was impracticable to collect samples within the first 30 minutes of a measurable storm event); Description of any corrective action taken at the facility, including triggering event and dates when problems were discovered and modifications occurred; Documentation of any benchmark exceedances and how they were responded to, including either (1) corrective action taken, (2) a finding that the exceedance was due to natural background pollutant levels, or (3) a finding that no further pollutant reductions were technologically available and economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practice;

37 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 33 Documentation to support any determination that pollutants of concern are not expected to be present above natural background levels if the facility discharges storm water runoff directly to impaired waters, and that such pollutants were not detected in the facility s discharge or were solely attributable to natural background sources; and Documentation to support the claim that the facility has changed its status from active to inactive and unstaffed with respect to the requirements to conduct routine facility inspections, quarterly visual assessments, and/or benchmark monitoring.

38 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AND DEADLINES 9.1 CONDITIONS REQUIRING SWPPP REVIEW AND REVISION TO ENSURE EFFLUENT LIMITS ARE MET When any of the following conditions occur or are detected during an inspection, monitoring or other means, or EPA informs the facility that any of the following conditions have occurred, the SWPPP will be reviewed and revised as appropriate (e.g., sources of pollution; spill and leak procedures; non storm water discharges; the selection, design, installation and implementation of the control measures) so that the Permit s effluent limits are met and pollutant discharges are minimized: An unauthorized release or discharge (e.g., spill, leak, or discharge of non storm water not authorized by the Permit or another NPDES permit to a water of the U.S.) occurs at the facility. A discharge violates a numeric effluent limit listed in Table 2 1 and in Part 8 sectorspecific requirements. The control measures are not stringent enough for the discharge to meet applicable water quality standards or the non numeric effluent limits in the Permit. A required control measure was never installed, was installed incorrectly, or not in accordance with Parts 2 and/or 8, or is not being properly operated or maintained. Whenever a visual assessment shows evidence of storm water pollution (e.g., color, odor, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, and foam). 9.2 CONDITIONS REQUIRING SWPPP REVIEW TO DETERMINE IF MODIFICATIONS ARE NECESSARY If any of the following conditions occur, the SWPPP will be reviewed (e.g., sources of pollution, spill and leak procedures, non storm water discharges, selection, design, installation and implementation of control measures) to determine if modifications are necessary to meet the effluent limits in the Permit: Construction or a change in design, operation, or maintenance at the facility that significantly changes the nature of pollutants discharged in storm water from the facility, or significantly increases the quantity of pollutants discharged. The average of four quarterly sampling results exceeds an applicable benchmark (see Part ). If less than four benchmark samples have been taken, but the results are such that an exceedance of the four quarter average is mathematically certain (i.e., if the sum of quarterly sample results to date is more than four times the benchmark level) this is considered a benchmark exceedance, triggering this review. A benchmark exceedance does not trigger a corrective action if it is determined that the exceedance is solely attributable to natural background sources, or if it is determined that no further pollutant reductions are technologically available and economically practicable and achievable in light of best

39 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 35 industry practice (see Part ). When run on to the facility causes a benchmark exceedance, in addition to reviewing and revising, as appropriate, the SWPPP, the facility will notify the other operators contributing run on to the discharges to abate their pollutant contribution. Where the other operators fail to take action to address the storm water run on, the EPA Region 1 Office will be contacted. 9.3 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS If corrective action is needed, Palmer Paving will immediately take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize or prevent the discharge of pollutants until a permanent solution is installed and made operational, including cleaning up any contaminated surfaces so that the material will not discharge in subsequent storm events. 9.4 SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS If it is determined that additional actions are necessary beyond those implemented pursuant to MSGP Part 4.3.1, Palmer Paving will complete the corrective actions (e.g., install a new or modified control and make it operational, complete the repair) before the next storm event if possible, and within 14 calendar days from the time of discovery of the corrective action condition. If it is infeasible to complete the corrective action within 14 calendar days, Palmer Paving will document why it is infeasible to complete the corrective action within the 14 day timeframe. Palmer Paving will also identify the schedule for completing the work, which must be done as soon as practicable after the 14 day timeframe but no longer than 45 days after discovery. If the completion of corrective action will exceed the 45 day timeframe, Palmer Paving may take the minimum additional time necessary to complete the corrective action, provided that it notifies the EPA Regional Office of its intention to exceed 45 days, the rationale for an extension, and a completion date, which will be included in the corrective action documentation (see Part 4.4). Where corrective actions result in changes to any of the controls or procedures documented in this SWPPP, Palmer Paving will modify the SWPPP accordingly within 14 calendar days of completing corrective action work. These time intervals are not grace periods, but are schedules considered reasonable for documenting findings and for making repairs and improvements. They are included in the Permit to ensure that the conditions prompting the need for these repairs and improvements do not persist indefinitely. 9.5 CORRECTIVE ACTION DOCUMENTATION Corrective action information will be documented within 24 hours of becoming aware of such condition. The information will be summarized in the annual report per Part 7.5. The following will be included in the documentation: Description of the condition triggering the need for corrective action review. For any spills or leaks, include the following information: a description of the incident including material, date/time, amount, location, and reason for spill, and any leaks,

40 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Palmer Paving Corporation August Blanchard Street, Palmer, Massachusetts Page 36 spills or other releases that resulted in discharges of pollutants to waters of U.S., through storm water or otherwise; Date the condition was identified; Description of immediate actions taken pursuant to Part to minimize or prevent the discharge of pollutants. For any spills or leaks, include response actions, the date/time clean up completed, notifications made, and staff involved. Also include any measures taken to prevent the reoccurrence of such releases (see Part ); and A statement, signed and certified in accordance with Appendix B, Subsection 11. Corrective actions taken or to be taken as a result of the conditions listed in Part 4.1 or 4.2 (or, for triggering events in Part 4.2 where it is determined that corrective action is not necessary, the basis for this determination) will be documented within 14 days from the time of discovery of any of those conditions. Provide the dates when each corrective action was initiated and completed (or is expected to be completed). If applicable, document why it is infeasible to complete the necessary installations or repairs within the 14 day timeframe and document the schedule for installing the controls and making them operational as soon as practicable after the 14 day timeframe. If EPA is notified regarding an extension of the 45 day timeframe, the rationale for an extension was also be documented.

55 NON NUMERIC TECHNOLOGY BASED EFFLUENT LIMIT Good Housekeeping (Keep clean all exposed areas that are potential sources of pollution) Maintenance (Maintain all control measures that are used to achieve effluent limits in effective condition, as well as all industrial equipment and systems in order to minimize pollutant discharges) Spill Prevention and Response STORM WATER CONTROLS AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Sweep or vacuum at regular intervals or, alternatively, wash down the area and collect and/or treat, and properly dispose of the wash down water; Store materials in appropriate containers; Keep all dumpster lids closed when not in use. For dumpsters and roll off boxes that do not have lids and could leak, ensure that discharges have a control (e.g., secondary containment, treatment). Minimize the potential for waste, garbage and floatable debris to be discharged by keeping exposed areas free of such materials, or by intercepting them before they are discharged. Performing inspections and preventive maintenance of storm water drainage, source controls, treatment systems, and plant equipment and systems that could fail and result in contamination of storm water. Diligently maintaining non structural control measures (e.g., keep spill response supplies available, personnel appropriately trained). Inspecting and maintaining baghouses at least quarterly to prevent the escape of dust from the system and immediately removing any accumulated dust at the base of the exterior baghouse.* Cleaning catch basins when the depth of debris reaches two thirds (2/3) of the sump depth and keeping the debris surface at least six inches below the lowest outlet pipe.* If you find that your control measures are in need of routine maintenance, you must conduct the necessary maintenance immediately in order to minimize pollutant discharges. If you find that your control measures need to be repaired or replaced, you must immediately take all reasonable steps to prevent or minimize the discharge of pollutants until the final repair or replacement is implemented, including cleaning up any contaminated surfaces so that the material will not be discharged during subsequent storm events. Final repairs/replacement of storm water controls should be completed as soon as feasible but must be within 14 days or, if that is infeasible, within 45 days. If the completion of storm water control repairs/replacement will exceed the 45 day timeframe, you may take the minimum additional time necessary to complete the maintenance, provided that you notify the EPA Regional Office of your intention to exceed 45 days, and document in your SWPPP your rationale for your modified maintenance timeframe. If a control measure was never installed, was installed incorrectly or not in accordance with MSGP Parts 2 and/or 8, or is not being properly operated or maintained, you must conduct corrective action as specified in MSGP Part 4. Plainly label containers (e.g., Used Oil, Spent Solvents, ) that could be susceptible to spillage or leakage

56 NON NUMERIC TECHNOLOGY BASED EFFLUENT LIMIT (Minimize the potential for leaks, spills and other releases that may be exposed to storm water and develop plans for effective response to such spills if they occur to minimize discharge) Erosion and Sediment Controls Management of Runoff Salt Storage Piles or Piles STORM WATER CONTROLS AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES to encourage proper handling and facilitate rapid response if spills or leaks occur;* Implement procedures for material storage and handling, including the use of secondary containment and barriers between material storage and traffic areas, or a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas; Develop training on the procedures for expeditiously stopping, containing, and cleaning up leaks, spills, and other releases. As appropriate, execute such procedures as soon as possible; Keep spill kits on site, located near areas where spills may occur or where a rapid response can be made; and Notify appropriate facility personnel when a leak, spill, or other release occurs. *Where a leak, spill or other release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity established under either 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, or 40 CFR Part 302, occurs during a 24 hour period, you must notify the National Response Center (NRC) at (800) or, in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, call (202) in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, and 40 CFR Part 302 as soon as you have knowledge of the discharge. State or local requirements may necessitate reporting spills or discharges to local emergency response, public health, or drinking water supply agencies. Contact information must be in locations that are readily accessible and available. Minimize erosion by stabilizing exposed soils at your facility in order to minimize pollutant discharges and placing flow velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of discharge points. You must also use structural and non structural control measures to minimize the discharge of sediment. If you use polymers and/or other chemical treatments as part of your controls, you must identify the polymers and/or chemicals used and the purpose in your SWPPP. There are many resources available to help you select appropriate BMPs for erosion and sediment control, including EPA s Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities website at: Construction General Permit.cfm. Divert, infiltrate, reuse, contain, or otherwise reduce storm water runoff to minimize pollutants in your discharges. In selecting, designing, installing, and implementing appropriate control measures, you are encouraged to consult with EPA s Internet based resources relating to runoff management. Enclose or cover storage piles of salt, or piles containing salt, used for deicing or other commercial or

57 NON NUMERIC TECHNOLOGY BASED EFFLUENT LIMIT STORM WATER CONTROLS AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Containing Salt industrial purposes, including maintenance of paved surfaces, in order to minimize pollutant discharges. You must implement appropriate measures (e.g., good housekeeping, diversions, containment) to minimize exposure resulting from adding to or removing materials from the pile. Piles do not need to be enclosed or covered pursuant to the Permit if storm water runoff from the piles is not discharged or if discharges from the piles are authorized under another NPDES permit. Employee Training See Plan Section 7. Non Storm Water Discharges Evaluate for the presence of non storm water discharges. Any non storm water discharges not explicitly authorized in Part or covered by another NPDES permit must be eliminated. This includes vehicle and equipment/tank wash water (except for those authorized in Part for Sectors G, H, and J). If not covered under a separate NPDES permit, wastewater, wash water and any other unauthorized non storm water must be discharged to a sanitary sewer in accordance with applicable industrial pretreatment Dust Generation and Vehicle Tracking of Industrial Materials requirements, or otherwise disposed of appropriately. You must minimize generation of dust and off site tracking of raw, final, or waste materials in order to minimize pollutant discharges.

Best Management Practices: A Standard Operating Procedure has been established for fuel transfers to minimize exposure to storm water and mitigate the potential for spills and leaks. (Refer to facility SPCC Plan). The diesel oil, waste oil, and liquid asphalt ASTs are inspected on a regular basis as specified in the facility SPCC Plan. Training is conducted for loading procedures, spill response and spill notification procedures. Spill containment and cleanup materials are located in the vicinity of the ASTs. Storm Water Controls: Surround stockpiles with concrete berms and/or silt fencing and hay bales to prevent sediment migration. Best Management Practices: Inspect storm water controls on a regular basis as part of the SWPPP inspections. Replace as needed. Storm Water Controls: Remove excess retired material(s). Best Management Practices: Miscellaneous parts are stored in the garage or otherwise covered to prevent exposure to precipitation. All other materials are stored in a fashion to minimize exposure to precipitation and are promptly transported off site. staged equipment and fleet vehicle storage areas are inspected as part of the SWPPP inspections Known leaks from equipment awaiting repair are contained via deployment of absorbent pads or drip trays and are promptly repaired.
