23 Observations / Lessons Learned Expect the unexpected

24 Observations / Lessons Learned Verify as much as possible Document Everything

25 Observations / Lessons Learned Municipal employees are a wealth of knowledge Involve local regulatory agencies early in the process

26 Observations / Lessons Learned Designate one point of contact Regularly educate staff on federal and state regulations Update records regularly

27 Observations / Lessons Learned Remember the “basics” of design Remember the ultimate goal

28 Learning Objectives Revisited Get to know your facility Perform regular pollution prevention / good housekeeping Have basic understanding of applicable federal and state regulations as they relate to stormwater and petroleum bulk storage

29 Questions / Discussion 1. What two federal regulations related to stormwater and petroleum storage are municipal facilities governed by?

30 Questions / Discussion 2. What type of discharge does a SPDES permit regulate?

31 Questions / Discussion 3. What volume of above ground petroleum bulk storage will require your facility to prepare a SPCC plan?

32 Questions / Discussion 4. How often are you required to perform interstitial space leak testing for underground petroleum storage?

33 Questions / Discussion 5. Name two important lessons learned from this project.
