2. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) Training Requirements
Part F
“Employee Training: You must describe the storm water employee training program for the facility.”
This should include topics such as:
Spill response
Good housekeeping
Material management
Necessary safety gear
INCOG

3. Spill Response
Stop the spill Container leaks: Right the container or, for a puncture, use epoxy putty, patching paste or drum patch kit. Pipe leaks: Close a valve or use a pipe wrap or repair kit. Aluminum or another type of patching tape or even a screw might make an acceptable temporary patch.
INCOG

4. Spill Response
Contain the Spill If the container is on a containment pallet or in another vessel, you have it. Use absorbents, socks, booms or covers to keep the spilled material out of inlets and waterways. Protect the spilled material from tracking (boots, tires), wind dispersion or flowing to other areas.
INCOG

5. Spill Response
Remove the Material Think about how you can recover the material and what you will put it in. Will you dispose it or can you still use it? Do you have empty containers, shovels, brooms or vacuum pumps?
INCOG

6. Spill Response
Remediate the Site How will you clean up the spill site and what might you do to prevent another spill of this nature.
INCOG

7. Good Housekeeping
“You must keep all exposed areas of the facility in a clean, orderly manner where such exposed areas could contribute pollutants to storm water discharges. Common problem areas include: around trash containers, storage areas and loading docks.” Do your employees know how to keep a clean shop?
INCOG

8. Material Management
“You must minimize the exposure of manufacturing, processing, and material storage areas (including loading and unloading, storage, disposal, cleaning, maintenance, and fueling operations) to rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff by either locating these industrial materials and activities inside or protecting them with storm resistant coverings (although significant enlargement of impervious surface area is not recommended).” Do your employees know how to use, store and manage materials?
INCOG

9. Personal Protection (Safety Gear)
If personal protection is necessary to safely handle the chemicals, materials or products that could cause storm water pollution at your facility your employees should be trained in the proper use of the safety gear.
INCOG

10. Training Frequency
Part F “…and must identify periodic dates (e.g., every 6 months during the months of July and January) for such training.” “Such training shall be conducted at least annually (or more often if employee turnover is high.)”
INCOG

11. Training update events New hire training program
Training Frequency
To meet the training frequency requirement you may elect to have two training programs.
Training update events
New hire training program
The new hire training would be to explain the OKR05 requirements to new employees so they are knowledgeable from the beginning and the updates will keep all employees familiar with company policies and changes to these policies.
INCOG

12. Who Needs Training?
Part F “You must provide employee training for all employees that work in areas that are responsible for implementing activities identified in the SWP3 (e.g., inspectors, maintenance people).”
INCOG

13. Retention of Records
Part “Your must retain the SWP3 developed in accordance with Part 4 of this permit until a date three (3) years after the last modification or amendment is made to the plan, and at least three (3) years after coverage under this permit terminates.” All training activities should be documented and recorded.
