Project Description
BB&A Environmental provided stormwater consulting services for multiple Farwest Steel facilities in Oregon. BB&A Environmental prepared Stormwater Pollution Control Plans (SWPCP) which included a description of the industrial activities at the subject properties and preparation of a site drainage maps showing drainage patterns, stormwater outfalls, paved areas and buildings, storage or disposal of “significant materials,” and hazardous waste storage and disposal facilities.
Stormwater management activities included consideration of the following practices to limit pollutant discharges to the stormwater outfalls:
- Containment
- Oil and grease separation
- Debris and sediment control
- Waste chemical disposal
- Stormwater diversion
- Covered storage or manufacturing areas
The SWPCPs were finalized, stamped by a registered professional engineer, and submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Stormwater sampling has been conducted to ensure that benchmark levels were met for the parameters required by the 1200-Z stormwater permit. Upon achieving four (4) consecutive sampling events of compliance for many of the monitoring parameters, monitoring waivers have been submitted to the DEQ for those parameters that achieved compliance. Best management practices (BMPs) and technically and economically feasible stormwater controls have been implemented to achieve compliance for the additional parameters.
