2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Regulations and Compliance
Section 402(p) of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires that any facility which discharges
storm water associated with industrial activity obtain a permit under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to control the quality of storm water discharges. In
response to these statutes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) promulgated
final regulations for permit applications associated with storm water discharges from industrial
activities (U.S. EPA Storm Water Regulations; 55 FR 47990). Dischargers of storm water may
apply for individual permits or a general permit. Also required as part of the storm water
requirements is the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), including
elements of Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to minimize pollution through source
control. John C. Tune Airport (JWN) discharges storm water associated with an industrial
activity from the site under the authority of the State of Tennessee NPDES Permit No.
TNR053942. Copies of the permit and the Notice-of-Intent (NOI) are included in Appendix A.
2.2 John C. Tune Airport
The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) owns and administers JWN, which is
located within Davidson County as illustrated in Figure 2-1. JWN is a relatively small general
aviation airport located in west Nashville in the Cockrill Bend area which serves the needs of
regional corporate and private aircraft. JWN accommodated over 85,000 Landing and Takeoff
(LTO) cycles in 2016, executed primarily by single engine piston aircraft. The airport has a
single runway, with aviation support structures consisting of 125 executive type T-hangars, three
larger hangars, aircraft parking and apron space, a terminal building and fuel storage facilities.
MNAA currently leases JWN to Corporate Flight Management (CFM) dba Contour Aviation, a
fixed-base operator (FBO) that operates at the Airport.
Construction on JWN began in 1983 and the first aircraft accelerated down the runway in July of
1986. In addition to serving as a reliever airport for the Nashville International Airport, JWN
provides pilot training and helicopter support. JWN is financially self-supporting, although some
improvements are made with the assistance of state and federal grant money.
JWN spans approximately 368 acres, of which approximately 65 acres are impervious surfaces. The airport has a terminal building (4,693 ft2), three hangars (57,238 ft2), executive type T-hangars (182,405 ft2), and aircraft parking and apron space (1,266,875 ft2). The Airport operates with a single 6, 000 ft. x 100 ft. runway (Runway 2-20) oriented approximately north-south. In addition, aircraft fuel is stored and distributed from a tank farm located just to the north of the terminal building. The approximate geographical coordinates of the site are 36o 10’ 45.9” N Latitude 86o 53’ 01.4” W Longitude.

2.3 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Overview
The storm water regulations establish that the SWPPP shall be developed for each facility
covered by a permit. SWPPPs shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices.
The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution which may reasonably be expected to affect
the quality of storm water discharges associated with industrial activity from the facility. In
addition the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices which are to be used
to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with the terms and conditions of the
permit. Facilities must implement the provisions of the SWPPP required under this part as a
condition of the facility storm water permit TNR053942 Sector S Part 3.
Facilities that are subject to reporting requirements under SARA Title III, Section 313 for
chemicals that are classified as Section 313 water priority chemicals are subject to additional
SWPPP requirements. Since CFM dba Contour Aviation does not file annual SARA Title III,
Section 313 reports for JWN, the facility is not subject to these additional requirements.
2.3.1 SWPPP Preparation
This SWPPP was prepared on behalf of CFM dba Contour Aviation for the JWN. Required
elements of the plan are described in the facility NPDES Permit No. TNR053942. Guidelines
used to develop this SWPPP are also provided in the U.S. EPA’s guidance manual for SWPPP’s
(1992). Information included in the SWPPP was obtained from the original facility SWPPP and
SPCC plan, a site visit, meetings with facility personnel, and subsequent follow up discussions
with facility staff.
2.3.2 SWPPP Revisions
The SWPPP will need to be updated and revised when the following occur: 1) whenever there
are any changes in operations at the facility, or in materials used, which would create or
materially alter the potential for contamination of storm water runoff; 2) when as a result of
annual inspection and review a modification to the SWPPP is necessary; or 3) as required by the
Director of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water
Pollution Control.
2.3.3 SWPPP Organization
The JWN SWPPP includes the following sections:
Certifications
Planning and organization
Assessment
BMP identification
Implementation
Evaluation/monitoring
General requirements
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018 9
2.3.4 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team
The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team is responsible for implementing the SWPPP at
JWN. This is a standing committee that should meet regularly and periodically as required to
implement the SWPPP. The SWPPP Team roster listing member responsibilities is shown in
Table 2-1.

ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018 12
3.1.1 Aircraft Maintenance
Maintenance of aircraft is a relatively common activity at JWN. Aircraft owners perform all
manner of maintenance at the site, such as regular preventative maintenance (fluid change, tune-
ups) up to major engine overhauls. All maintenance is conducted either inside the main
maintenance/storage hangars or in the individually leased T-hangars.
Depending on the nature of the maintenance activities at the airport, materials such as lubricating
oils, hydraulic oils, degreasers, and other cleaning products are typically present in these areas.
Small leaks or spills of these materials sometimes occur during maintenance activities. Small
leaks or spills are cleaned up through the use of absorbent materials.
Based on a review of facility site drawings, discussions with MNAA staff, and a site
reconnaissance, there are no floor drains inside JWN hangars which discharge to the storm water
drainage system. Therefore, the performance of aircraft maintenance activities does not
represent a potential for significant pollutant discharges.
3.1.2 Aircraft Fueling
Aircraft at JWN are refueled with either AVGAS or Jet A aviation fuel. Three tanker trucks
service the aircraft on the asphalt apron area. There are no drains or other conveyances on or
near the concrete apron. An additional fueling area is located north of the tank farm at the 1,000-
gallon double-walled self-service Avgas tank. Based on discussions with CFM dba Contour
Aviation and MNAA staff, there have been no significant spills at the facility. All fueling is
meticulously conducted and carefully measured. Drip pans, absorbent materials, and other
means to prevent potential releases of fuel are employed and described in the facility SPCC plan.
Aircraft fueling does not represent a major source of pollutant discharge.
3.1.3 Aircraft Washing
Aircraft at JWN are routinely washed by tenants on the apron using water and commercial soap.
Specific areas immediately to the west and south of Hangar No. 3 and to the north of Hangar No.
1 are designated for aircraft washing. There are no catch basins or other conveyances in this
area, or anywhere on the apron. Wash and rinse water is allowed to remain on the apron where it
evaporates. Water may also flow from the apron to surrounding vegetated areas, where it would
further evapotranspirate or infiltrate into the ground.
Although washing of aircraft may represent a potential subtle illicit discharge of non-storm
water, it is felt that the designated wash area along with the small volume of washing conducted
is adequate to prevent discharges to surface waters. Best Management Practices and routine
inspections are used to control and monitor aircraft washing activities.
According to CFM dba Contour Aviation, the area designated for aircraft washing had been
reviewed and approved by TDEC WPC.

3.1.4 Aircraft Anti-icing/Deicing
Anti-icing is the prevention of formation of ice on surfaces, while deicing is the removal of ice
from surfaces. Only mechanical means of snow and ice removal are permitted at JWN; no
chemical deicers or anti-icers are applied to pavement. The facility is a general aviation airport
servicing primarily small private pleasure aircraft. Flights during icing conditions are minimal
since there is no scheduled air traffic at JWN. Delays and idle time prior to takeoff are minimal
and therefore aircraft do not generally sit on the ramp or apron prior to takeoff. Consequently,
anti-icing and deicing activities at JWN are minimal. The only method for anti-icing and deicing
is the use of a heated hangar. Some aircraft have chemical deicer stored on board for inflight
use; however, these chemicals are stored inside hangars and are not applied at JWN prior to take-
off.
3.1.5 Aircraft Depainting/Painting
Minor aircraft depainting and painting may occur as the result of repair and maintenance work at
JWN. However, there is no paint booth at the facility and all painting is conducted inside the
main hangars. Depainting may involve submersion or application of a solvent to aircraft parts or
the body, or use of physical abrasive media. Sandblasting or other impingement technologies are
not conducted at JWN. Paint, thinners, solvents, and other paint-related materials that could
constitute a pollutant source are all handled indoors.
Based on location and limited amount of painting/depainting conducted at JWN, there is very
limited potential for significant storm water contamination from these activities.
3.1.6 Fuel Storage
Bulk aviation fuel storage at the site includes 100LL Avgas, Jet A, gasoline and diesel. Three
12,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks for the aviation fuel are housed inside a concrete
secondary containment dike. The dike has a capacity of approximately 22,400 gallons, which is
adequate containment for the entire contents of the largest single tank plus sufficient freeboard to
allow for precipitation. The dike can be drained by opening a manual valve and allowing the
dike contents to drain into an underground oil/water separator (see Section 3.4 and 3.5). The
diked area is an area of high traffic, and is used several times per week. Therefore, any fuel spill
and/or subsequent accumulated precipitation would be detected in a relatively short period of
time. The determination of adequate freeboard for precipitation is based on this factor.
Two 500-gallon double-walled aboveground storage tanks for the gasoline and diesel are stored
within the tank farm outside of the concrete secondary containment dike. The loading rack for
the fuel tank farm is sloped and curbed to control potential releases of fuel from fuel delivery or
loading activities. The loading rack also discharges to the underground oil/water separator. The
oil/water separator discharges to an unnamed tributary of the Cumberland River.
Additional fuel storage is located north of the tank farm for the self-service fueling tank. The
self-service fueling area has a 1,000-gallon double-walled aboveground storage tank.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018 15
In addition to the fuel storage farm, three tanker trucks deliver and dispense fuel from the fuel
farm to aircraft. The tanker trucks are subject to OPA regulation, and are addressed in the
facility SPCC plan as well as in Section 3.1.2 and elsewhere in this SWPPP. The specific
locations and sizes of fuel storage tanks were previously listed in Table 3-2.
3.1.7 Chemical Storage
Miscellaneous containers of lubricants, cleaners, paints, and other chemicals may be used in
maintenance activities throughout the airport. Used oil is collected in an aboveground storage
tank located to the east of the fuel tank farm.
3.1.8 Pesticide/Herbicide Storage
Grounds maintenance is conducted by MNAA staff on a periodic basis. Pesticides and
herbicides may be applied as part of the grounds up-keep, in addition to physical mowing.
Pesticides and herbicides are applied sparingly and with care according to manufacturer’s
recommendations. Any chemicals applied at JWN are stored indoors at JWN.
3.1.9 Equipment Cleaning/Degreasing
Maintenance support equipment may be cleaned and/or degreased on site as needed at JWN. All
such activities are conducted indoors in the main hangars. Therefore, the performance of
equipment cleaning/degreasing activities does not represent a potential for significant pollutant
discharges.
3.1.10 Aircraft Lavatory Services
Aircraft lavatory servicing is available at JWN. Service is provided by CFM dba Contour
Aviation. The lavatory service cart is stored in Hangar No. 2 when it is not in use. CFM dba
Contour Aviation personnel are responsible for connecting the service cart to the aircraft,
transferring waste from aircraft into the cart and refilling the aircraft, and disposal in the sanitary
sewer lift station located between Box Hangars 172 and 173. Access to the lift station is
provided by MNAA personnel. Transfer of material utilizes manual pumps and is monitored
during the entire transfer. Therefore, the management of the lavatory service cart does not
represent a high potential for pollutant discharges.
3.1.11 Ground Vehicle Maintenance
Ground service vehicles, primarily the fueling tankers, are maintained on site. The majority of
vehicle maintenance activities are performed outdoors weather permitting. During periods of
inclement weather, ground vehicle maintenance service is conducted in Hangar No. 1.
Depending on the nature of the maintenance required, materials such as ethylene glycol (anti-
freeze), motor oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, methanol (windshield washer solvent), and
other automotive fluids may present a source of storm water runoff contamination. However,
incidental spills and leaks are immediately cleaned up and not allowed to remain on the ground.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018 16
Best Management Practices and routine inspections are used to control and monitor vehicle
maintenance activities.
3.1.12 Ground Vehicle Fueling
Since the three aircraft refueling tanker trucks are not DOT over-the-road registered, they are
never driven off-site. The trucks, which operate on unleaded gasoline and diesel, are refueled
using the 500-gallon MNAA tank system at the tank farm. A more plausible scenario would be a
malfunction with the nozzle and approximately five gallons would be discharged to the
containment since fuel transfer is only performed in the tank farm loading rack.
Strict Best Management Practices, including transferring fuel only on the tank farm loading rack,
are observed to minimize the potential for uncontained spills and leaks.
3.1.13 Ground Vehicle Washing
Ground service vehicles are washed on the apron using water and commercial soap. The aircraft
washing areas west and south of Hangar No. 3 and north of Hangar No. 1 are also used for
washing the ground service vehicles. As discussed previously, there are no catch basins or other
conveyances in this area, or anywhere on the apron. Wash and rinse water is allowed to remain
on the apron where it evaporates. Water may also flow from the apron to surrounding vegetated
areas, where it would further evapotranspirate or infiltrate into the ground.
Although washing of ground service vehicles and helicopters may also represent a potential
subtle illicit discharge of non-storm water, it is felt that the designated wash area along with the
small volume of washing conducted is adequate to prevent discharges to surface waters. Best
Management Practices and routine inspections are used to control and monitor ground vehicle
washing activities.
According to CFM, the area designated for ground service vehicle washing had been reviewed
and approved by TDEC WPC.
3.1.14 Cargo Handling
JWN does not support cargo traffic.
3.1.15 Equipment Maintenance
Two diesel tractor-tugs are used to tow jet aircraft as part of airfield operations. Normal
preventative maintenance (PM), such as fluid changes, may be performed outdoors on site. Any
additional maintenance is outsourced to a local repair shop. All other equipment maintenance
activities at JWN have been discussed in Sections 3.1.1 (Aircraft Maintenance) and 3.1.11
(Ground Vehicle Maintenance). No substantial maintenance on any other equipment is
conducted at JWN.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018 17
3.1.16 Equipment Fueling
Fueling operations at JWN consist of fuel delivery to the fuel farm, transfer of fuel to the fuel
trucks, dispensing of fuel to the aircraft, and refueling the ground service equipment.
3.1.17 Equipment Storage
Equipment may be stored either indoor or outdoors. Equipment that is stored outdoors is kept clean
and free of substances that could be washed off by precipitation.
Potential sources of pollutants from fuel storage activities include leaks, drips, and equipment
failure of the various storage tanks and associated piping and pumps. Fuel storage spill
prevention and countermeasures are further discussed in the JWN Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan (2017).
3.1.18 Apron Wash down
Apron and ramp areas are not routinely washed down.
3.1.19 Building and Grounds Maintenance
Building and grounds maintenance is conducted by MNAA staff, as discussed in Section 3.1.8.
No chemicals for these functions are stored on site. Debris and/or trash generated as a result of
building and grounds maintenance are promptly removed and appropriately disposed.
3.1.20 Fire Training Area
There is no fire training area at JWN. The facility relies on 911 services (local fire departments)
to handle emergency situations until MNAA can respond. Hangar No. 3 is equipped with AFFF
Suppression System.
3.1.21 Construction Areas (1+ acres)
Minor improvements are conducted from time to time at JWN. Construction activities can create
unstabilized areas that promote erosion and the discharge of sediments to the storm drainage
system. In addition, mobile fuel tanks, portable lavatories, and other construction-related
equipment represent potential sources of polluting materials.
Prior to initiating activities that involve land disturbances of one (1.0) or more acres, or that are
part of the JWN master plan, permit coverage under the Tennessee General NPDES Permit for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity will be sought. As required by
the Permit, a Construction Site Storm Water Control Plan is developed and implemented for the
project. Isolated construction activities that do not require NPDES permit coverage are
nevertheless conducted in adherence to general construction Best Management Practices
(including silt fences, hay bales, and other controls as appropriate).

3.2 Inventory of Exposed Materials
The inventory of exposed significant materials at JWN is limited, and has been discussed in each
of the previous sections. Most activities and material storage is indoors, including all paints,
chemicals, and other solvents. Aviation fuels, gasoline, diesel and used oil constitute the only
significant materials that are exposed to precipitation. Jet A and AVGAS are stored in three
12,000-gallon ASTs located within a concrete secondary containment dike and one 1,000 gallon
double-walled AST. Gasoline and diesel are stored within two 500-gallon double-walled ASTs
adjacent to the tank farm outside of the concrete secondary containment dike. Each type of fuel
is also stored inside three fueling tankers (one 1,200-gallon and two 3,000-gallon) resident at the
airport. Used oil is stored in a 250-gallon tank outside east of the fuel tank farm.
Other exposed materials include maintenance, fueling and washing activities related to both
aircraft and ground service vehicles.
3.3 EPCRA Section 313 Water Priority Chemicals
JWN activities do not include the use of EPCRA Section 313 Water Priority Chemicals.
Therefore, JWN is not subject to the special conditions identified in TNR053942.IV.E.2 for
EPCRA Section 313 Water Priority Chemicals.
3.4 Facility Site Maps
The storm water regulations require that as part of the SWPPP the facility develop a site map
including an inventory of potential sources of contaminants to storm water from industrial
activities. The site map must include drainage features and storm water outfalls, existing
structural control measures to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff, and surface water bodies.
Figure 3-1 is a facility drawing of the installation and the immediately adjacent property features.
The figure also shows the locations of the buildings, site drainage, areas of industrial activity,
and the storm water outfall location.
3.5 Location of Storm Water Outfalls
A detailed inventory of the John C. Tune airport showed that there is only one discrete storm
water outfall covered by the regulations. The outfall is the discharge pipe from a below-grade
oil/water separator which drains the fuel aboveground storage tank (AST) farm and loading rack.
Runoff from the remainder of the airport property, including apron areas, buildings, hangars, and
runway, infiltrates into surrounding vegetated areas and/or is conveyed as sheet flow to the
Cumberland River. The single storm water outfall is listed in Table 3-2.

3.6 Structures
As discussed above, a below-grade oil/water separator has been is utilized to remove potential
pollutants from storm water runoff prior to discharging to the receiving stream from the fuel
AST tank farm secondary containment dike and loading rack. The oil/water separator is a
special purpose API-type separator designed for intermittent and variable flows of water, oil or
any other combination of non-emulsified oil/water mixtures. A drawing of the fuel farm area is
shown in Figure 3-2, and details on the oil/water separator are included in Appendix C.
Hangar No. 2 has several floor drains which are connected to an oil/water separator that
discharges to the sanitary sewer.
3.7 Water Bodies
JWN is located within the Cockrill Bend area of west Nashville, with the Cumberland River
circumscribing essentially the entire property (on all sides except the southeast). Several
drainage ditches/unnamed tributaries of the Cumberland River transect the property, with one
running east-to-west and tunneling beneath the runway. The tributaries enter the Cumberland
River at various points along a two mile stretch from Cumberland River Mile (CRM) 178.5 to
176.5. SW1 discharges to one of the unnamed tributaries of the Cumberland River. All of JWN
is ultimately drained by the Cumberland River.
3.8 Spill Prevention Plan
JWN is subject to the requirements of Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (40 CFR 112), and
therefore requires an SPCC Plan. JWN has a SPCC plan in place at the facility. The SPCC Plan
has been reviewed and there are no conflicts with the facility NPDES permit or this SWPPP.
There have been no spills or releases of hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities
under Section 311 of the CWA or Section 102 of CERCLA at JWN since the facility began
operations in 1986.
Records of spills, leaks, or other discharges must be kept for three years after the incident. These
records may be kept in Appendix D of this SWPPP.

3.9 Endangered Species Protection Certification
To be eligible for coverage under Tennessee’s general storm water permit, JWN must comply
with the Endangered Species Act. A discharge of storm water associated with industrial activity
may be covered under this permit if it does not affect identified species in Addendum F of the
permit, or if it has been authorized under the Endangered Species Act of by the Director of the
Division.
All storm water runoff from JWN discharges to the Cumberland River (as described in Section
3.8). According to Addendum F of the NPDES permit, the receiving waters are not a habitat to
any Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Aquatic Species, nor are they a Designated
Critical Habitat. Therefore, storm water discharges from JWN and any construction BMPs are
not likely to adversely affect the species identified in Addendum F of the facility permit. The
completed certification is provided below.

3.10 Storm Water Monitoring Plan
There are no storm water monitoring requirements specified in the facility Sector S TMSP
general storm water permit.
3.10.1 Prior Discharge Sampling Data
Previous facility permits have required periodic monitoring and reporting of storm water
discharges from SW1. The historical data available is summarized in Table 3-3.
The oil and grease (O&G) result from June 1993 was high due to the practice of “sumping the
farm.” Each day, approximately one (1) gallon must be pumped from the tank farm in order to
maintain the purity of the fuel supply. The one gallon is a mixture of condensate and fuel, and
the removal of approximately one gallon is adequate. Many years ago, it was believed to be an
acceptable practice to dispose of this as sump waste in the loading rack drain (which discharges
to the oil/water separator). This practice has been ceased, and the sump fuel is now placed in the
Used Oil Tank.

4.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
4.1 Definition of BMPs
BMPs are measures used to prevent or reduce pollution from any type of activity. BMPs are a
very broad class of measures and may include processes, procedures, schedules of activities,
prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce storm water
pollution. In essence, they are anything that may be identified as a method, short of actual
treatment, to curb storm water pollution. They may be very inexpensive or costly. BMPs can be
nearly anything that prevents toxic or hazardous substances from entering the environment.
Baseline BMPs (BBMPs) are practices that are inexpensive, relatively simple, and applicable to
all industries and activities, including JWN. BBMPs include the following practices:
Good Housekeeping
Preventive Maintenance
Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
Source Reduction
Visual Inspections
Sediment Erosion and Control
In addition to baseline BMPs facilities may find it appropriate to implement a host of advanced
BMPs (ABMPs). These ABMPs are specifically directed to address particular pollutant sources
or activities and can be structural and/or non-structural controls which prevent potential pollutant
sources from contacting storm water at a particular site. Typical site-specific ABMPs may
include:
Storm water conveyances/upgrades to outfall discharge points
Containment dikes
Curbs
Drip pans at dispensing locations
Sumps
Covering
Vacuum/pump systems
Sorbents/spill kits
Preventive monitoring practices
Security
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018

Materials protected from rainfall, run-on, runoff
Emergency spill control stations/equipment (including oil/water separators)
Run-on controlled by use of slopes/curbing/etc.
4.2 Description of BMPs
A major function of the SWPPP is to identify potential sources of pollution at a facility, and then
suggest BMPs that would be appropriate to control the sources. Such BMPs are described in this
section. Many of the following BMPs are already in place at JWN, and are hereby incorporated
into the facility storm water management program. The facility assessment and development of
this SWPPP has also spawned several new BMPs which will be implemented at JWN.
4.2.1 Good Housekeeping (GH)
Good housekeeping practices help to maintain a clean and orderly work environment. Good
housekeeping requires the maintenance of areas that may contribute pollutants to storm water
discharges. A major emphasis of storm water regulatory programs is Good Housekeeping since
they are often the simplest to implement and the most effective means to control storm water
runoff contamination.
4.2.1.1 General Housekeeping
A general good housekeeping program is in effect at JWN. Each work area is cleaned routinely
and housekeeping tasks are carried out regularly. Hangars and passageways in and between
buildings are kept clean and free of clutter. All chemical storage, with the exception of used oil,
gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, is conducted indoors. Good housekeeping practices and
protocols are stressed in employee training programs and the importance of maintaining clean
areas is communicated regularly to airport tenants. Outdoor trash dumpsters are covered, and
liquids are not permitted to be disposed of in dumpsters.
Particular attention with regards to housekeeping must be paid to the maintenance shed and used
oil tank near the tank farm. These areas need to be maintained and cleaned periodically to
minimize the risk for contamination of storm water runoff. Users of the used oil tank must be
instructed to conduct fill and off loading operations carefully, dry sorbents should be used to
contain and clean miscellaneous spills and drips. The maintenance shed should be kept
organized and tidy, and waste material should be removed as promptly as possible. For instance,
used batteries, discarded tires, and empty containers should be removed from the site to avoid
build up of potentially hazardous and untidy situations.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
26
4.2.1.2 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Area
As discussed in Section 3.1.1, all aircraft maintenance is conducted indoors. No maintenance of
aircraft is permitted nor conducted on the apron.
Ground vehicle maintenance has historically been conducted outdoors on the apron when
weather conditions permit. With the implementation of the SWPPP, maintenance of ground
vehicles will be conducted inside Hangar No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3, or in the demarcated aircraft
wash areas (see Section 4.2.1.3).
Only minor preventative maintenance of the aircraft tugs is conducted on site. Again, these
activities have been historically conducted on the apron. As above, with the implementation of
this SWPPP, maintenance of aircraft tugs will be conducted inside Hangar No. 1 or No. 3, or in
the demarcated aircraft wash areas.
Further, as a general mechanical maintenance practice, the following practices will be observed:
All fluid-containing parts (e.g., oil filters, fuel filters, and radiators) will be drained prior
to disposal. All waste materials must be properly disposed of.
Dry clean up methods (with loose sorbent) will be utilized when possible, especially
outdoors. No outdoor areas will be hosed down for cleaning.
4.2.1.3 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning Area
A special area has been designated for cleaning of aircraft, ground vehicles, and equipment at
JWN. The area, immediately to the west of Hangar No. 3 and shown previously in Figure 3-1,
had been reviewed and approved by TDEC in 1993. As of March 2008, an additional area
located north of Hangar No. 1 is designated for cleaning of helicopters. These are the only areas
at JWN where vehicles are washed.
The following Best Management Practices guidelines apply to aircraft, ground vehicle, and
equipment cleaning areas at JWN:
Only spray nozzles that require positive pressure by the operator will be used. That is,
the nozzle must be of a type that cannot be left running if unattended.
Only mild, commercially available detergents will be permitted. All detergents proposed
for use must be approved and documented by CFM dba Contour Aviation. No
degreasers, acids or other cleaners are permitted.
The importance of water conservation will be stressed in communication to tenants by
both CFM dba Contour Aviation and MNAA (i.e. lease agreement with tenants, posted
signs, etc.). Since there is no containment or treatment of wash waters, if excessive water
is used this activity can become a subtle illegal discharge and place CFM dba Contour
Aviation into non-compliance with the facility permit.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
27
The designated wash areas will be clearly demarcated on the apron pavement using FAA-
approved colors. A sign will be posted on the wall of Hangar No.3 and Hangar No. 1 in
plain view of the wash area. The text of the sign should be legible from the center of the
area, and contain the following (or equivalent) information.
4.2.1.4 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Storage Areas
Aircraft are stored in hangars or on the apron at JWN. As discussed above, aircraft maintenance
is always performed inside the main hangar or inside the smaller, individually leased hangars. If
leaks and/or spills are discovered emanating from aircraft or equipment stored outdoors, drip
pans and/or sorbent booms are used to prevent spread of contamination until the problem can be
repaired.
4.2.1.5 Material Loading/Unloading and Storage Areas
All chemicals used at JWN are stored indoors, protected from contact with storm water, with the
exception of used oil, gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. Bulk aviation fuel storage at the site
includes 100LL Avgas, Jet A, gasoline and diesel. Three 12,000-gallon aboveground storage
tanks for the aviation fuel are housed inside a concrete secondary containment dike. The dike
has a capacity of approximately 22,400 gallons, which is adequate containment for the entire
contents of the largest single tank plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation. The dike
can be drained by opening a manual valve and allowing the dike contents to drain into an
underground oil/water separator (see Section 3.4 and 3.5). Two 500-gallon double-walled
aboveground storage tanks for the gasoline and diesel are stored within the tank farm outside of
the concrete secondary containment dike. The loading rack for the fuel tank farm is sloped and
curbed to control potential releases of fuel from fuel delivery or loading activities. The loading

rack also discharges to the underground oil/water separator. The oil/water separator discharges
to an unnamed tributary of the Cumberland River. One 250-gallon double-walled aboveground
storage tank for used oil is stored north of the tank farm.
Additional fuel storage is located north of the tank farm for the self-service fueling tank. The
self-service fueling area has a 1,000-gallon double-walled aboveground storage tank located
north of the tank farm.
In addition to the fuel storage farm, three tanker trucks deliver and dispense fuel from the fuel
farm to aircraft. The tanker trucks are subject to OPA regulation, and are addressed in the
facility SPCC plan as well as in Section 3.1.2 and elsewhere in this SWPPP.
The following additional Best Management Practices guidelines apply to material storage at
JWN:
The used oil tank must be affixed with a label indicating the contents of the tank as “Used
Oil.”
Maintain a supply of dry sorbent near material handling sites, such as the used oil tank to
clean up small spills and leaks.
Include inspections of material storage areas in all storm water inspections and
compliance evaluations.
Inspect water in secondary containment dike per procedures described in SPCC plan prior
to discharging.
Avoid transferring material in close proximity to storm drain inlets.
Transfer liquids only in paved areas. Use appropriate tools (e.g., funnels) during
transfers.
Chemicals that are not stored in ASTs or USTs should be stored indoors or under cover
away from storm drains.
Install bollards around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle or forklift damage.
In general, if new material loading/unloading or storage areas are contemplated for construction
in the future the following principles should be considered in the engineering design:
Berm or grade the area to minimize storm water run-on
Direct roof downspouts away from material loading/unloading areas
Slope the area to facilitate the collection of wash water
Cover loading/unloading docks to reduce exposure of materials to rain
Install seals or door skirts between vehicles and structures to prevent material exposure
to rainfall
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018

4.2.1.6 Airport Fuel System and Fueling Areas
Jet A and Avgas fuel is stored in three 12,000-gallon bulk storage tanks located inside a
secondary containment dike. The dike is sufficiently impervious to retain spilled product until
cleaned up. It is constructed of 6-inch reinforced concrete with a capacity of approximately
22,400 gallons. The containment area has the capacity to hold the contents of the largest tank
plus 10%+freeboard for precipitation. Drainage from the containment area is through a valve
that is closed except when the sump is drained for the removal of collected precipitation. This
drain line is also connected to the oil/water separator for treatment of the collected storm water
prior to discharge. In addition to the tank farm, there is one 1,000-gallon self-service 100LL
Avgas double-walled aboveground storage tank located south of Hangar No. 3. The interstitial
space of the double-walled tank provides containment for the volume of the tank.
The tanker truck loading rack is curbed and sloped to a central drain to contain any spills which
could occur during the fuel delivery operation. The 4-inch drain is piped through a buried pipe
into a below grade oil/water separator near the tank farm. The oil/water separator is a cylindrical
1,500-gallon, configured with over- and under-flow baffles for physical separation of free oils
from the water. See the facility SPCC plan for details on the oil/water separator.
Precautions are closely followed during fuel delivery operations. All hose connections are
inspected prior to and during hookup to ensure safe operations. A fuel attendant is present at all
times during fuel transfer operations. Drip pans are deployed under all fittings and connections
during the transfer to catch minor spills and drips. Larger spills or releases from equipment
failure during unloading would be collected into the oil/water separator and captured there. The
electrical breaker controlling the pumps is located within 20 yards of the loading rack and is
easily accessible in the event that pumping needs to be abruptly halted.
Aviation fuel is dispensed to aircraft on the apron from two tanker trucks. All aircraft refueling
operations are carefully conducted by trained technicians on the apron areas. There are no catch
basins or other direct drainage from the apron, and fuel spills would be contained on the asphalt
apron. All fueling technicians have radios available to summon assistance if needed.
Since the three aircraft refueling tanker trucks are not DOT over-the-road registered, they are
never driven off-site. The trucks, which operate on unleaded gasoline and diesel, are refueled
using the 500-gallon MNAA tanks in the tank farm.
To minimize the potential for spills of gasoline on airport property, the following Best
Management Practices are observed:
1. gasoline tanks not filled past manufacturer’s maximum recommended capacity
2. strict adherence to speed limit of 15 mph
3. tailgate securely closed during vehicle movement
4. drip pans deployed under tank nozzle to capture drips during fueling operations
5. use of funnels and/or other control devices during fueling operations
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
30
6. absorbent pads are used to clean up incidental drips/leaks
7. refueling performed on loading rack or other areas away from drainage features
Extreme care is exercised while handling gasoline and refueling operations. Small spills and
leaks are contained and cleaned up to prevent gasoline from traveling offsite.
In general, if new fueling or fuel storage areas are contemplated for construction in the future the
following principles should be considered in the engineering design:
Cover the fueling area, if possible
Use a perimeter drain or slope the fueling area to a dry sump
Pave the fueling area with concrete rather than asphalt.
If a dry sump is not used to collect spills, install an appropriately sized oil/water
separator
Provide adequate secondary containment around all ASTs
4.2.2 Preventive Maintenance (PM)
The preventive maintenance program involves timely inspections and maintenance of storm
water management devices as well as inspecting and testing facility equipment and systems to
uncover conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges of pollutants
to surface waters. The PM activities under the BBMPs should not duplicate existing PM
activities, but should address preventing storm water pollution.
The BBMPs PM program includes the following elements:
A. Inspecting aviation fuel farm tanks, dike, pipes, pumps, and fuel filters.
B. Occasionally (annually) testing aviation fuel farm emergency shutoff breaker.
C. Periodic cleaning and inspection of oil/water separators.
D. Periodic integrity testing of tanks, and underground piping and the oil/water separators.
E. Periodic removal of debris from loading rack drains and secondary containment dikes.
F. Inspecting the Used Oil tank and Self-Service 100LL Avgas tank (by CFM) and emergency
generator (by MNAA).
G. Inspecting the fueling tankers for leaks, drips, and other potential problems.
4.2.3 Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
JWN is subject to the requirements of Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (40 CFR 112), and
therefore requires a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. JWN has an
SPCC plan in place at the facility. The spill prevention and response procedures applicable to
JWN are described in the SPCC Plan. Some key elements are reiterated in this Section.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
31
“Incidental spills” are small volume spills (less than 55 gallons) that can be safely handled by
employees in the immediate area. Employees that may respond to non-emergency spills are
trained in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication, a.k.a. HAZCOM) so
that these employees can safely perform the clean up. Employees who have not received Hazard
Communication training do not clean up any incidental or emergency spills. Incidental spills are
immediately contained and cleaned up with compatible absorbent materials and other appropriate
equipment. All precautions are taken to prevent such spills from reaching shorelines or surface
waters.
Spills or releases that cannot be handled safely by employees in the immediate area of the spill
are major spills and are considered “emergency spills.” Employees detecting major spills
attempt to assess the quantity and likely consequences of the spill and then immediately contact
his/her supervisor and/or the Facility Response Coordinator. The employee detecting the
emergency spill attempts to warn others threatened by the release, and then leaves the area to a
safe location.
As described in this SWPPP and the facility SPCC Plan, there are a number of potential sources
of chemical releases at JWN. Upon detection of a spill, the following procedures are used to
respond to the release.
The employee who discovers the spill/release assesses the severity of the spill (in terms of
quantity and consequences).
If the spill is “incidental” and if the employee who discovers the spill/release is adequately
trained for clean up, he/she will do so or summon additional personnel empowered to clean

The Facility Response Coordinator or Emergency Coordinator is responsible for notifying
the proper authorities, and initiating appropriate action:
1. Extinguish any open flames or smoking material, or cease any operation such as welding
that could ignite the spilled material.
2. All feasible steps shall be immediately taken to reduce or eliminate further spillage.
Examples include closing any open valve on the secondary containment systems,
reconnecting or tightening a hose during fuel loading/unloading procedures, or tripping
the emergency cutoff switch on transfer pumps.
3. If the spill is a large amount of bulk fuel within the secondary containment area, move
away from the area. Notify the Metro Nashville Fire Department (911) and/or the
Emergency Contractors available to help and that are listed in the SPCC Plan.
4. For other spills, trained spill response employees should utilize the sorbent material most
appropriate for the volume spilled and location. Note that aviation fuel spills may require
the deployment of absorbents specially manufactured to dissipate static charges
(especially in areas with little or no ventilation). Spills should be contained by the use of
sorbent socks around the edges or down-slope, and apply sorbent clay or sheets within
the spill area to absorb the spilled material.
5. If the fuel spill has entered a stream or the stream bank, immediately notify the National
Response Center (800-424-8802) and follow their guidance. Deploy floating booms to
contain spills as much as possible.
6. Spill response actions outlined in this section are immediate actions that should be taken
to contain spills and minimize dangers to public health and safety and to the environment.
Actions beyond spill response are considered remedial actions, and should be approved
and/or coordinated by TDEC.
Spill containment equipment is available in Spill Kits at the tank farm, at the Self-Service 100LL
tank area, and in the terminal building.
The SWPPP must be modified within 14 calendar days of knowledge of any release reported to
the NRC to provide a description of the release, the circumstances leading to the release, and the
date of the release. In addition, the Plan must be reviewed by CFM to identify measures to
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
33
prevent the reoccurrence of such releases and to respond to such releases, and the Plan must be
modified where appropriate.
A written report of the release (including the type and estimate of the amount of material
released, the date of the release, the circumstances leading to the release, and steps to be taken to
prevent the reoccurrence of the release) may also require submittal to the TDEC Environmental
Assistance Center within 14 days of the release:

4.2.4 Source Reduction
Source reduction is the technique of modifying common, potentially polluting activities so that
less waste is generated. These BMPs are distinguished from Housekeeping BMPs which rely on
mitigative measures and “housekeeping” activities to control pollutant sources. Activities that
could release potential contaminants to storm water are generally conducted indoors when
feasible. Washing of aircraft and ground vehicles, aviation fuel storage, used oil storage, and
aircraft/ground vehicle/equipment storage area conducted outdoors.
Aircraft and ground vehicle washing, chemical storage, and equipment storage and BMPs to
minimize contamination of storm water runoff are discussed in Section 4.2.1.
4.2.4.1 Aircraft Anti-icing/Deicing
Anti-icing/deicing fluids are not applied at this airport.
4.2.4.2 Other Practices
Ongoing inspections are utilized to monitor the effectiveness of the designated area for control of
potential storm water contamination.
4.2.5 Management of Runoff
JWN utilizes traditional storm water management practices to control runoff from the facility.
The airport is largely comprised of pervious vegetated surfaces. There are no drains or catch
basins for the collection of storm water runoff on the apron at JWN, and the majority of
precipitation that falls on the airport flows from the paved areas to the surrounding vegetated
areas. Storm water runoff is allowed to infiltrate in vegetated swales, and generally do not
constitute a point source discharge to surface waters. Riprap and other stabilization means are
used to dissipate energy and disperse the flow.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
34
Washing activities, as described elsewhere in this Plan, do not contribute to point source
discharges since minimal quantities of water are used and the water is allowed to evaporate from
the tarmac. The apron is not hosed down.
An oil/water separator is used to protect the facility discharge point from contamination from
fuel loading and storage activities. The oil/water separator is routinely inspected and maintained
to ensure proper operation.
The effectiveness of runoff management controls will be reviewed throughout the life of the
facility permit and adjusted as appropriate. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team,
through daily observations, monthly inspections, or the annual site compliance evaluation, will
make recommendations and implement necessary improvements.
4.2.6 Inspections
The regular inspection program is a key component of the SWPPP and is vital to minimize
contamination of storm water runoff. The main objective of a sound inspection and
recordkeeping program is to uncover and eliminate conditions that could adversely affect the
environment.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention inspections will be performed on a monthly basis by qualified
facility personnel. The frequency of inspections must increase to weekly if deicing activities are
being conducted. Appendix B of this Plan contains a sample checklist for the inspections.
Completed inspection forms must be retained for at least three years. The SWPPP inspection
should focus on the following, as appropriate:
Housekeeping;
All aboveground storage tanks (including tank farm, self-service tank area, used oil
tank),
Tank farm valves, pipes, pumps, and dikes;
Spill kits to verify preparedness for a potential spill,
Oil/water separators, including the discharge pipe (for signs of oil release);
Wash areas;
Maintenance shed;
All hangars;
Aircraft parked on apron;
Equipment storage outdoor;
Fuel tanker trucks; and
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
35
Other specific potentially polluting materials.
The checklists in Appendix B are designed to facilitate tracking and follow-up of noted deficiencies.
4.2.7 Training
Pollution Prevention Training is conducted as discussed in Section 5.4. Training consists of
formal discussions and group meetings with airport personnel, as well as ongoing
communications with tenants. Communications may consist of mailings, one-on-one meetings,
postings, or other means as deemed appropriate by the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team.
Training of personnel whose job duties may directly or indirectly impact any aspect of storm
water pollution will be trained on an annual basis.
4.2.8 Recordkeeping and Internal Reporting
Recordkeeping is an important element of any SWPPP. Analyses of past incidents can help to
detect problems and prevent similar incidents. Recordkeeping should include as many as
possible of the following items for accurately documenting and reporting results:
Field notebooks, drawing and maps
Photographs or videotapes, dated and timed
Names of personnel
Any and all sample collection records and lab results.
All correspondence to and from state agencies relating to compliance.
Records of spills, leaks, or other discharges must be kept for three years after the incident. These
records may be kept in Appendix A of this SWPPP. Recordkeeping for spills, leaks, and other
discharges should be comprised of the following elements:
Date, time, weather, duration, cause, environmental problems, response procedures,
parties notified, recommended revisions to BMPs, changes in operating procedures
and/or equipment to avoid future similar incidents.
A formal written report.
Inspections and maintenance activities must also be documented and recorded as part of the
SWPPP.
4.2.9 Sediment and Erosion Control
The facility permit requires the identification of areas with a high potential for significant
erosion, and identification of BMPs to limit soil erosion. Based on a site reconnaissance and
evaluation of topographic map, there are no areas that could contribute large quantities of
sediment to surface waters due to erosion. Several areas where rills have begun to form have
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
36
been stabilized with riprap. All such areas discharge to grassy areas where vegetative filtering
would immobilize sediments.
Note that construction and earthmoving activities in or near surface waters or drainage ditches
require additional precautions to be taken. In general, activities that involve the disturbance of
more than one (1) acre at JWN will require submittal of an application to obtain a General
NPDES Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity with
concomitant requirement for a Construction Site Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
It is a matter of good management practice to implement appropriate sediment control BMPs for
any construction activity, regardless of the acreage of soil disturbance. Therefore, a sediment
erosion and control procedure should be developed by CFM (or the contractor) to provide for
control of sediment and erosion due to construction activities on-site (building construction,
facility expansion, etc.) as a part of the construction project management. This procedure need
not be lengthy or complex, but should be site specific to address the project at hand. The
procedure should require all proposed construction efforts that involve soil disturbances to be
coordinated with a representative of the SWPP team.
A comprehensive Sediment and Erosion Control Plan (SECP) might consist of the following
elements:
A project site map showing geology and soils, areas subject to highest potential for
erosion, any areas where construction activities are in progress or scheduled (over next
12 months), and water bodies that could be affected by erosion or by storm water from
construction areas.
Tables listing BMPs and structural requirements (e.g., silt fences and hay bales, such as
included in Appendix E) to be implemented for each construction project.
Activities (inspections and sampling) scheduled to monitor compliance with the SECP.
Schedule of BMPs to be implemented as part of each construction project.
Training and education programs on the SECP for facility staff involved in construction
and monitoring.
Contracting clauses making compliance with the SECP a mandatory requirement for all
contracted construction not covered by storm water permits.
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) making compliance with the SECP mandatory
for all construction activities not covered by storm water permits.
4.3 BMP Implementation
A timetable and responsible individual for implementation of new BMPs is presented in Table 4-
1. This table should not be considered a static element of this SWPPP, but may be modified as
required when BMPs are implemented, new BMPs are suggested, or if the implementation
schedules require adjustment.

5.0 IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 SWPPP Implementation
The provisions of this SWPPP will be implemented at JWN as required by the facility NPDES
permit. During the implementation phase, employees responsible for implementing elements of
the plan and appropriate BMPs will be trained to carry out the plan.
5.2 Staff to Implement SWPPP
Top management at CFM will facilitate training of the required staff and implement elements of
the BMPs as proposed in this SWPPP.
5.3 BBMPs and ABMPs Implementation
Most of the BBMPs and ABMPs identified in this SWPPP are already a basic element of the
storm water management program at JWN. BMPs identified but not yet implemented shall begin
and continue until all items are completed. A checklist of required components and planned
schedule was shown previously in Table 4-1. This table should be updated as appropriate to
reflect accomplishments or necessary changes in the implementation timetable.
5.4 Employee Training
Employee training programs must inform personnel at all levels of responsibility of the
components and goals of the SWPPP. Copies of the SWPPP are made available to all affected
personnel at JWN. It shall be the responsibility of CFM management to communicate to all
employees and MNAA’s responsibility to communicate to all tenants how and why tasks are to
be implemented for each of the following activities:
Spill prevention and response
Good housekeeping
Aircraft and runway deicing/anti-icing procedures
Material management practices
MNAA staff training shall be conducted annually and documented using the log sheet in
Appendix D. Training of tenants and other affected persons may be accomplished via alternate
means (e.g., one-on-one briefings, letter, contract document).
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018

6.0 EVALUATION
6.1 Updates to the SWPPP
The SWPPP should be updated periodically by evaluating the information collected in the
“Assessment” phase (Section 3.0) and the controls selected in the BMP Identification Phase.
Tasks include conducting site evaluations, keeping records of all inspections and reports, and
revising the plan as needed.
6.2 Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation
The JWN NPDES permit requires that the effectiveness of the SWPPP be evaluated through an
annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation conducted. Deicing/anti-icing operations are
no longer performed by the use of chemicals; however, this evaluation should continue to be
conducted during the deicing/anti-icing season. Qualified staff or outside consultants must
conduct the evaluation, which must yield a written report. All deficiencies and/or instances of
noncompliance shall be noted. The report shall identify the deficiency, state what is required for
correction, and furnish a timetable for correction of the deficiency. Where a report does not
identify any incidents of noncompliance, the report shall contain a certification that the facility is
in compliance with the SWPPP and the facility NPDES permit. The report shall be signed by the
Responsible Corporate Officer (see Section 7.1).
The inspection should include the following elements:
Physically inspecting each outfall where storm water discharges occur.
Immediately identify any non-storm water discharges not previously detected.
Identifying and reviewing the performance of existing BMPs at each outfall to reduce
discharges of pollutants.
Identifying any additional BMPs required to reduce discharges of pollutants at individual
storm water outfalls.
6.3 SWPPP Revisions
To ensure the timeliness of inspection-related data, the SWPPP should be revised to document
new potential storm water pollution sources and descriptions of any applicable control measures
within two (2) weeks after completion of the annual site compliance evaluation. Within 12
weeks after the evaluation the facility will implement (or begin implementation) of any
necessary changes in BMPs or other pollution-prevention measures resulting from the inspection
to the SWPPP.
ERM JWN/0435832/SWPPP – MARCH 2018
40
6.4 Additional Plan Revisions
The SWPPP must be amended whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, and
maintenance which may cause the potential discharge of pollutants or a change in storm water
permit requirements. Additionally, the SWPPP must be amended as required by the Director of
the Division of Water Pollution Control.
7.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Although the Office of Management and Budget’s North American Industry Classification
System is intended to replace the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code, the EPA decided to
continue using the 1987 SIC code system as the primary classification system under this permit because
the stormwater regulations (40 CFR 122.26(b) (14)) refer to these codes and because this code system
adequately identifies the facilities.
1.2.2. Construction
This permit may authorize stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity that are
mixed with stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity from construction
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
5
activities, provided that the stormwater discharge from the construction activity is authorized
by and in compliance with the terms of a different NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System) general permit or individual permit authorizing such discharges.
1.2.3. Limitations on Coverage
The following stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity are not authorized by
this permit:
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activities that are not listed under the
coverage sections contained in part 11 (see Table 1 above).
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity that are mixed with sources of
non-stormwater other than non-stormwater discharges that are:
In compliance with a different NPDES permit; or
Identified by and in compliance with subpart 3.1 (Prohibition of Non-stormwater
Discharges) of this permit.
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity that are subject to an existing
NPDES individual or general permit.
Are located at a facility where an NPDES permit has been issued in accordance with
subpart 7.11 (Requiring an Individual Permit or an Alternative General Permit) of this
permit.
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity that the Division of Water
Resources (the division) has determined to be or may reasonably be expected to be
contributing to a violation of a water quality standard.
Discharges subject to stormwater effluent guidelines, not described under part 11.
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity from inactive mining, inactive
landfills, or inactive oil and gas operations occurring on Federal lands where an operator
cannot be identified.
Discharges Negatively Affecting a Property on the National Historic Register – Industrial
stormwater discharges that would negatively affect a property that is listed or is eligible
for listing in the National Historic Register maintained by the Secretary of Interior.
Discharges into Outstanding National Resource Waters – The director shall not grant
coverage under this permit for discharges into waters that are designated by the Water
Quality Control Board as Outstanding National Resource Waters (ONRWs) Designation
of ONRWs are made according to TDEC Rules, Chapter 0400-40-3-.06.
Discharges into Exceptional Tennessee Waters – The director shall not grant coverage
under this permit for potential discharges of pollutants, which would cause degradation to
waters designated by TDEC as Exceptional Tennessee waters. Identification of
Exceptional Tennessee waters is made according to TDEC Rules, Chapter 0400-40-3-.06.
Discharges to waters with unavailable parameters:
Any operator who intends to obtain authorization under the TMSP for all new and
existing stormwater discharges to waters with unavailable parameters, or discharges
upstream of waters impaired by the same parameter, that may affect the waters with
unavailable parameters, from facilities where there is a reasonable potential to contain
pollutants for which the receiving water is impaired, must satisfy the following
conditions prior to the authorization:
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
6
1 Requirements for New Discharges or Existing Discharges Proposing an Increase
of Pollutant Loading
Prior to the division’s granting coverage under the TMSP, the operator shall
provide an estimate of pollutant loads in stormwater discharges from the facility
to the division. This estimate shall include the documentation upon which the
estimate is based (e.g., sampling data from the facility, sampling data from
substantially identical outfalls at similar facilities, modeling, etc.). Existing
facilities should base this estimate on actual analytical data, if available. This
information shall be submitted in writing to the division (see subpart 2.3: Where
to Submit) at least 90 days prior to commencement of proposed industrial
activities at the site.
If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been approved, permit coverage is
available only if the operator has received notice from the division confirming
eligibility.
Following receipt of the information regarding an estimate of pollutant loads, the
division anticipates using the following process in making eligibility
determinations for new discharges into waters that do not meet their designated
classified use where a TMDL has been developed:
The division will notify the facility operator that the estimated pollutant
load is consistent with the TMDL and that the proposed stormwater discharges
meet the eligibility requirements of the TMSP and may be authorized under this
permit; or
The division will notify the facility operator and EPA that the estimated
pollutant load is not consistent with the TMDL and that the proposed stormwater
discharges do not meet the eligibility requirements of the TMSP and cannot be
authorized under this NPDES permit.
If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has not been approved, permit
coverage for new discharges or existing discharges proposing an increase of
pollutant loading is not available under this permit for discharges to waters with
unavailable parameters and the operator must seek coverage under a separate
(individual) permit.
2 Requirements for Existing Discharges
If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been approved, permit
coverage is available only if the operator has received notice from the
division confirming eligibility.
If a TMDL has been approved, the division will require the operator to
provide an estimate of pollutant loads in stormwater discharges from the
facility. This estimate must include the documentation upon which the
estimate is based (e.g., sampling data from the facility, sampling data from
substantially identical outfalls at similar facilities, modeling, etc.). Facilities
with existing discharges must base this estimate on actual analytical data, if
available.
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
7
The division anticipates using the following process in making eligibility
determinations for existing discharges into waters with unavailable
parameters where a TMDL has been approved:
the division will notify the facility operator that the estimated pollutant
load is consistent with the TMDL and that the proposed stormwater
discharges meet the eligibility requirements of the TMSP and may be
authorized under this NPDES permit; or
the division will notify the facility operator that the estimated pollutant
load is not consistent with the TMDL and that the proposed stormwater
discharges do not meet the eligibility requirements of the TMSP and
cannot be authorized under this NPDES permit.
If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has not been approved at the time
of permit authorization, coverage under this permit is available only if the
pollutant loading from existing facilities remains unchanged or is reduced as
a result of additional pollution prevention measures as identified in the
facility’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
If a TMDL is approved during the term of this permit and identifies existing
permitted discharges as having a reasonable potential to contain pollutants
for which the receiving water has unavailable parameters, these discharges
shall no longer be authorized by this permit unless, following notification by
the division:
The operator completes revisions to the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) to include additional and/or modified Best Management
Practices (BMPs) designed to comply with any applicable Waste Load
Allocation (WLA) established for facility discharges within 30 calendar
days following notification by the division; and
The operator implements the additional and/or modified BMPs not
requiring construction within 60 days;
In cases where construction is necessary, the SWPPP shall contain a
schedule that provides compliance with the SWPPP as expeditiously as
practicable, but no later than 1 years following notification by the
division; and
A report is submitted to the division, which documents actions taken to
comply with this condition, including estimated pollutant loads, within
90 calendar days following implementation of the additional and/or
modified BMPs.
Additional Monitoring for Existing Discharges to Waters with Unavailable
Parameters
The permittee shall perform analytical monitoring for each outfall at least
quarterly for any pollutant(s) for which the water has unavailable parameters
where there is a reasonable potential for discharges to contain any or all of
these pollutants (i.e. the pollutant is listed in the Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements part of the applicable sector or the facility has knowledge that
a pollutant of concern is present at the facility and exposed to stormwater).
Monitoring results should be submitted to the division using the stormwater
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
8
monitoring report (see Reporting: Where to Submit) within 45 calendar days
following sample collection. These monitoring requirements are not eligible
for any waivers listed elsewhere in the permit.
1.2.4. Stormwater Not Associated With Industrial Activity
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity that are authorized by this permit
may be combined with other sources of stormwater that are not classified as associated with
industrial activity pursuant to 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14).
1.2.5. Threatened and Endangered Species Protection
a) Issuance of a Notice of Coverage (NOC) under this permit will constitute
confirmation of the division’s finding that, with properly developed and implemented
SWPPP, the discharges authorized hereunder are not likely to result in the taking of
threatened and endangered species.
b) Should the division later determine that the discharges covered by this permit would
result in the taking of threatened or endangered species, or are otherwise not in
compliance with the Endangered Species Act, the director, after written notification
to the permittee, shall either:
i. Notify the permittee that it is no longer eligible for coverage under this permit
and require coverage under an individual NPDES permit. The permittee will
continue to be covered under this permit until the division issues an individual
NPDES permit, provided a timely application for an individual permit is made. A
timely application is defined as submitting to the division a complete permit
application, including sampling, within 90 days of the notice from the director
requiring the application. A permittee may request a later date for the timely
submission of an individual NPDES permit application for just cause; or
ii. Notify the permittee that it must modify its SWPPP such that as a consequence,
the discharges authorized by this permit will not result in the taking of threatened
and endangered species and otherwise be in compliance with the Endangered
Species Act. The permittee shall have 60 days after such notice to make such
modifications to the SWPPP, and then 12 weeks to implement these
modifications, unless the permittee justifies to the division that a longer time is
necessary for their implementation. Should a longer time be required, the
permittee shall submit to the division’s local Environmental Field Office (see list
of EFOs under subpart 3.3 on page 14 of this permit) a brief summary of the
proposed modifications of SWPPP, including a timetable for implementation.
1.3. Authorization
Dischargers of stormwater associated with industrial activity must submit a complete Notice
of Intent (NOI) in accordance with the requirements of part 2 of this permit, using a NOI
form as found in Addendum B (or a copy thereof), to be authorized to discharge under this
general permit. The division will send to the permittee a written Notice of Coverage (NOC),
informing the permittee that the NOI was received and stormwater discharges from the
industrial activity have been approved under this general permit. The operator is authorized to
discharge stormwater associated with the industrial activity as of the effective date on the
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
9
division prepared NOC. A copy of the NOC shall be kept on site. The division may deny
coverage under this permit and require submittal of an application for an individual NPDES
permit based on a review of the NOI or other information.
Assigning a permit tracking number by the division to a proposed stormwater discharge does
not confirm or imply an authorization to discharge under this permit. Correspondence with
the permittee is maintained through the primary contact person listed on the NOI.
1.4. Permit Eligibility Regarding Protection of Water Quality Standards and
Compliance with State Anti-degradation Requirements
Pursuant to the Rules of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (the
department), Chapter 0400-40-3-.06, titled “Tennessee Antidegradation Statement,” and in
consideration of the department’s directive in attaining the greatest degree of effluent
reduction achievable in municipal, industrial, and other wastes, the permittee shall further be
required, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this permit, to comply with any applicable
Waste Load Allocations (WLA), effluent limitations, and schedules of compliance, required
to implement applicable water quality standards, to comply with a State Water Quality Plan
or other State or Federal laws or regulations, or where practicable, to comply with a standard
permitting no discharge of pollutants. Additional Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) requirements, as described in subpart 4.6, are applicable to new discharges and
discharges which constitute an increase of pollutant loading for discharges to waters
identified by the department as Exceptional Tennessee waters, or discharges upstream of
Exceptional Tennessee waters, that may affect the Exceptional Tennessee waters.
1.5. Overview of the Multi-Sector General Permit
Parts 1 through 10 of this general permit apply to all industrial facilities. Parts 1 and 2
describe eligibility requirements and the process for obtaining permit coverage. Parts 3
through 10 contain "basic" permit requirements.
part 11 provides additional requirements for particular sectors of industrial activity. For
example, primary metal facilities adds subpart 11.F. to the "universal" parts 1 through 10
requirements.
Some facilities may have "co-located" activities that are described in more than one sector
and need to comply with applicable conditions of each sector. For example, a chemical
manufacturing facility could have a land application site and be subject to subpart 11.C. -
Chemical and Allied products Manufacturing sector (primary activity), with runoff from the
land application site (co-located activity) also subject to conditions in subpart 11.L. -
Landfills and Land Application Sites.

3.4. Co-located Industrial Activity
In the case where a facility has industrial activities occurring onsite which are described by
any of the activities in other sections of part 11 of this permit, those industrial activities are
considered to be co-located industrial activities. A facility with a primary industrial activity
that is required to obtain coverage under TMSP is also required to comply with requirements
that apply to other activities at the facility if those additional activities would require
coverage if considered on their own. There may be specific monitoring and SWPPP
requirements associated with each industrial sector. Permittees must comply with all
requirements related to each activity. The operator of the facility shall determine which
additional pollution prevention plan and monitoring requirements are applicable to the co-
located industrial activity by examining the narrative descriptions of each coverage section
(Discharges Covered Under This Section) in part 11 of this permit. Provisions under this part
are applicable on an outfall-specific basis.
4. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SWPPP)
A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) shall be developed for each facility covered
by this permit. SWPPPs shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices and
in accordance with the factors outlined in 40 CFR 125.3(d)(2) or (3) as appropriate. The
SWPPP shall identify potential sources of pollution that may reasonably be expected to affect
the quality of stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity from the facility. In
addition, the SWPPP shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices that are to be
used to minimize the pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity at
the facility and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The term
‘minimize’ means reduce and/or eliminate to the extent achievable using control measures
(including best management practices) that are technologically available and economically
practicable and achievable in light of best industry practice. Facilities must implement the
provisions of the SWPPP required under this part as a condition of this permit. For additional
information to assist permittees in complying with these permit conditions and in the
preparation of the SWPPP, see Addendum C (List of Applicable References).
4.1. Deadlines for Plan Preparation and Compliance
4.1.1. Existing Facilities
Except as provided in sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 (below), all facilities seeking coverage
under the new TMSP who were previously covered by the expiring TMSP shall continue to
implement the SWPPP developed under the expiring permit. The SWPPP shall be modified
to address additional requirements in the new permit no later than 60 days following the
effective date of this permit. The revisions made to the SWPPP shall be implemented within
180 days following the effective date of this permit, except where new construction is
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
16
required, in which case the construction must be completed within 1 year following the
effective date of this permit.
4.1.2. New Facilities
Except as provided in sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 (below), all new facilities shall prepare
and implement their SWPPP prior to submitting the Notice of Intent. A copy of the SWPPP
shall be submitted with the Notice of Intent, preferably in electronic format (PDF).
4.1.3. Oil and Gas Operations
Oil and gas exploration, production, processing or treatment operations or transmission
facilities that are not required to submit a permit application on or before May 31, 1997, in
accordance with 40 CFR 122.26(c)(1)(iii), but after May 31, 1997, have a discharge of a
reportable quantity of oil or a hazardous substance for which notification is required pursuant
to either 40 CFR 110.6, 40 CFR 117.21 or 40 CFR 302.6, shall prepare and implement the
SWPPP on or before the date 60 calendar days after first knowledge of such release.
4.1.4. Facilities Switching from Coverage Under an Individual NPDES permit to this General
Permit
Facilities previously subject to an individual NPDES permit that switch to coverage under
this permit shall continue to implement the SWPPP required by that permit. The SWPPP shall
be revised as necessary to address requirements under part 11 of this permit no later than 180
days following the switch to this general permit. The revisions made to the SWPPP shall be
implemented on or before 1 year following the date of the switch. The antibacksliding
provisions, as contained in Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act and codified in the NPDES
regulations at 40 CFR §122.44 (l) - Reissued permits, shall apply to the facilities previously
subject to an individual NPDES permit that switch to coverage under this permit.
4.1.5. Measures That Require Construction
In cases where construction is necessary, the SWPPP shall contain a schedule that provides
compliance with the SWPPP as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than 2 years
following the effective date of this permit. Where a construction compliance schedule is
included in the SWPPP, the schedule shall include appropriate non-structural and/or
temporary controls to be implemented in the affected portion(s) of the facility prior to
completion of the permanent control measure.
Operators of construction sites involving clearing, grading or excavation that results in an
area of disturbance of one or more acres, and activities that result in the disturbance of less
than one acre if it is part of a larger common plan of development or sale must obtain
coverage under the Construction General Permit.
4.1.6. Extensions
Upon a showing of good cause, the division may establish a later date in writing for preparing
and compliance with a SWPPP for a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity.
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
17
4.2. Signature and Plan Review
4.2.1. Signature/Location
The SWPPP shall be signed in accordance with subpart 7.7 (Signatory Requirements), and be
retained onsite at the facility that generates the stormwater discharge in accordance with
section 7.14.2 (Retention of Records) of this permit. For inactive facilities, the SWPPP may
be kept at the nearest office of the permittee.
4.2.2. Availability
Except as provided in section 4.1.2 – New Facilities (above), the permittee shall make the
NOC, SWPPP, annual site compliance inspection report, or other information available upon
request to the division; the EPA; the U.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Service Regional Director;
the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency; or authorized representatives of these officials. A
copy of these documents shall be located at the facility.
4.2.3. Required Modifications
The director of the Division of Water Resources, or authorized representative, may notify the
permittee at any time that the SWPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum
requirements of this part. Such notification shall identify those provisions of the permit that
are not being met by the SWPPP, and identify which provisions of the SWPPP require
modification in order to meet the minimum requirements of this part. Within 60 days of such
notification from the director, (or as otherwise provided by the division), or authorized
representative, the permittee shall make the required changes to the SWPPP and shall submit
to the division a written certification that the requested changes have been made.
4.3. Keeping Plans Current
The permittee shall amend the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) annually or as
follows:
Whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance, that has a
significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to the waters of the state;
If the SWPPP proves to be ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing
pollutants from sources identified under subpart 4.4 (Contents of the Plan) of this permit;
or
If the SWPPP proves to be ineffective in otherwise achieving the general objectives of
controlling pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.
In addition, the permittee shall evaluate the results obtained from sampling and monitoring
pursuant to the Monitoring and Reporting Requirements applicable to each sector of this
permit. The evaluation should be done following the required annual sampling events to
determine whether the facility is below, meets, or exceeds the monitoring benchmarks as
shown in part 11 for that particular industry. If the results of annual stormwater runoff
monitoring demonstrate that the facility has exceeded the benchmark(s), the permittee must
inform the division’s local Environmental Field Office (EFO) in writing, within 30 days from
the time stormwater monitoring results were received, describing the likely cause of the
exceedance(s). Furthermore, within 60 days from the time stormwater monitoring results
were received, the facility must:
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
18
Review its SWPPP, make any modifications or additions to the SWPPP which would
assist in reducing specific effluent concentrations which are equal to less than the
monitoring benchmarks for that facility, and
Submit to the division’s local EFO a brief summary of the proposed SWPPP
modifications (including a timetable for implementation).
In the event of a repeated benchmark exceedance, the permittee can, in consultation with the
division, make a determination that no further pollutant reduction is technologically available,
economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practices. The permittee
must document the rationale for concluding that no further pollutant reductions are
achievable, and retain all records related to this documentation with the SWPPP.
New owners shall review the existing SWPPP and make appropriate changes using the same
timetable as described above. Amendments and modifications to the SWPPP may be
reviewed by the division in the same manner as in subpart 4.2.
4.4. Contents of the Plan
The contents of the SWPPP shall comply with the requirements listed in the appropriate
subpart (sector) of part 11 (Specific Requirements for Industrial Activities). These
requirements are cumulative. If a facility has co-located activities that are covered in more
than one subpart (sector) of part 11, that facility's SWPPP must comply with the requirements
listed in all applicable subparts (sectors) of this permit.
4.5. Additional Pollution Prevention Plan Requirements
In addition to the minimum standards listed in part 11 of this permit (Specific Requirements
for Industrial Activities), the SWPPP shall include a complete discussion of measures taken
to conform with the following applicable guidelines, other effective stormwater pollution
prevention procedures, and applicable State rules, regulations and guidelines:
4.5.1. Additional Requirements for Stormwater Discharges Associated With Industrial Activity that
Discharge Into or Through Permitted Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4)
In addition to the applicable requirements of this permit, facilities covered by this permit
must comply with applicable requirements in municipal stormwater management programs
developed under NPDES permits issued for the discharge of the municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) that receives the facility's discharge, provided the discharger has been
notified of such conditions.
Permittees that discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity through a MS4, or a
municipal system designated by the division, shall make SWPPPs available to the municipal
operator of the system upon request.
Coverage under the TMSP does not serve to waive any required/applicable local floodplain
protection permitting requirements.
Off-site vehicle tracking of significant materials and the generation of dust shall be
minimized. A stabilized site access (a point of entrance/exit to a facility) shall be described
and implemented, as needed, to reduce the tracking of significant materials onto public roads
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
19
by construction vehicles. Facilities cannot use the public roadways/right-of-ways or MS4 as
their primary, ongoing site exit control.
4.5.2. Additional Requirements for Stormwater Discharges Associated With Industrial Activity
from Facilities Subject to Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)
Section 313 Requirements
Potential pollutant sources for which you have reporting requirements under EPCRA 313
must be identified in your risk identification and summary of potential pollutant sources
determination as required under each industrial sector in this permit. Note this requirement
only applies to you if you are subject to reporting requirements under EPCRA 313.
4.5.3. Additional Requirements for Salt Storage
Storage piles of salt used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes and that
generate a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity that is discharged to
waters of the state shall be enclosed or covered to prevent exposure to precipitation, except
for exposure resulting from adding or removing materials from the pile. Dischargers shall be
compliant with this provision upon submittal of the NOI. Piles do not need to be enclosed or
covered where stormwater from the pile is not discharged to waters of the state.
4.5.4. Consistency with Other Plans
SWPPPs may reference the existence of other plans for Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) plans developed for the facility under Section 311 of the CWA or
Best Management Practices (BMP) Programs otherwise required by an NPDES permit for the
facility as long as such requirement is incorporated into the SWPPP.
4.5.5. Use of Pavement Sealant Products
Use of asphalt-based instead of tar-based pavement sealant products is encouraged to
minimize discharge of PAHs from industrial facilities. Additionally, painting is not
recommended under wet weather conditions.
4.6. Additional Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements for
discharges into waters with unavailable parameters or Exceptional Tennessee
waters
If the division has notified the facility operator that the estimated pollutant load is consistent
with the TMDL and that the proposed stormwater discharges meet the eligibility
requirements of the TMSP and may be authorized under this permit, additional SWPPP
requirements shall apply. Additional SWPPP requirements for discharges into waters with
unavailable parameters for a parameter present in the facility’s stormwater runoff, or
discharges upstream of waters impaired by the same parameter, that may affect the waters
with unavailable parameters; and for discharges to waters identified by the department as
Exceptional Tennessee waters, or discharges upstream of Exceptional Tennessee waters, that
may affect the Exceptional Tennessee waters, are as follows:
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
20
The SWPPP shall be submitted to the appropriate division’s Environmental Field Office (see
list of EFOs under subpart 3.3 on page 14). This SWPPP may be submitted with the NOI, but
must be submitted prior to commencement of new industrial activities, or a change of
industrial activity that would cause an increase of pollutant loading from the site into waters
with unavailable parameters or Exceptional Tennessee waters.
The permittee shall perform, at a minimum, monthly inspections.
The monthly inspection shall be conducted by the qualified personnel who shall inspect the
areas of facility used for storage of significant materials that are exposed to precipitation, as
well as structural and non-structural control measures at the site. Areas used for storage of
significant materials that are exposed to precipitation shall be inspected for evidence of, or
the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system (and potentially waters of the state).
Outfall points (where discharges from the site enter into the waters with unavailable
parameters or Exceptional Tennessee waters) shall be inspected (including, but not limited to,
visual observations) to determine whether structural and non-structural control measures are
effective in preventing significant impacts to receiving waters. Where discharge locations are
inaccessible, nearby downstream locations shall be inspected if possible.
Based on the results of the inspection, any inadequate control measures or control measures
in disrepair shall be replaced or modified, or repaired as necessary, before the next rain event
if possible, but in no case more than seven days after the need is identified. If maintenance
prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance must be scheduled and
accomplished as soon as practicable.
Based on the results of the inspection, the facility description and pollution prevention
measures identified in the SWPPP shall be revised as appropriate, but in no case later than 14
calendar days following the inspection. Such modifications shall provide for timely
implementation of any changes to the SWPPP in no case later than 60 calendar days
following the inspection.
Inspections shall be documented and include the scope of the inspection, name(s) and title or
qualifications of personnel making the inspection, the date(s) of the inspection, major
observations relating to the implementation of the stormwater pollution prevention plan
(including the location(s) of discharges of pollutants from the site and of any control device
that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location), and actions
taken to prevent further discharge of pollutants from the site.
The permittee must certify on a quarterly basis that inspections of structural and non-
structural control measures and of outfall points were performed and whether or not all
planned and designed pollution prevention controls measures are installed and in working
order. The certification must be done by a person who meets the signatory requirements of
this permit. The certification should be kept with the facility’s SWPPP, shall be signed in
accordance with subpart 7.7 (Signatory Requirements) of this permit and has to be submitted
to the local Environmental Field Office upon request.
If the division finds that a discharge is causing a violation of water quality standards or
causing or contributing to the impairment of a known water with unavailable parameters or
any water, and finds that the discharger is complying with SWPPP requirements of this
permit, the discharger will be notified by the director in writing that the discharge is no longer
eligible for coverage under the general permit and that continued discharges must be covered
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
21
by an individual permit. To obtain the individual permit, the operator must file an individual
NPDES permit application.
5. NUMERIC EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
5.1. Discharges Associated With Specific Industrial Activity
Numeric effluent limitations for stormwater discharges associated with a specific industrial
activity are described in part 11 of this permit.
5.2. Coal Pile Runoff
Any stormwater discharge composed of coal pile runoff shall not exceed a maximum
concentration for any time of 50 mg/L total suspended solids (TSS). Coal pile runoff shall not
be diluted with stormwater or other flows in order to meet this limitation. The pH of such
discharges shall be within the range of 6.0 to 9.0. Runoff from coal piles shall be compliant
with this provision upon submittal of the NOI. Any untreated overflow from facilities
designed, constructed and operated to treat the volume of coal pile runoff that is associated
with a 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event shall not be subject to the 50 mg/L limitation for total
suspended solids.
6. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
6.1. Monitoring Requirements
6.1.1. Limitations on Monitoring Requirements
Those facilities with discharges or activities identified in subpart 6.4 and part 11 are required
to conduct sampling of their stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.
Monitoring requirements under subpart 6.4 and part 11 are additive. Facilities with discharges
or activities described in more than one monitoring section are subject to all applicable
monitoring requirements from each section.
The director can provide written notice to any facility otherwise exempt from the sampling
requirements of subpart 6.4 and part 11 that it shall conduct discharge sampling for a specific
monitoring frequency for specific parameters.
6.1.2. Additional Monitoring by the Permittee
If the permittee monitors any pollutant required to be monitored by this permit more
frequently than required in subpart 6.4 and part 11, using approved analytical methods as
specified herein, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and
reporting of the values required in the TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Report form. Such
increased frequency shall also be indicated on the form.
6.2. Reporting: Where to Submit
One signed copy of the Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report (see Addendum D) for the
benchmark results or the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) (see Addendum E) for
effluent numeric limitations results required under parts 11 and all other stormwater
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
22
monitoring reports required herein, shall be submitted to the division at the appropriate EFO
for the county where the facility is located. A list of EFOs and their addresses are available in
subpart 3.3 above.
Mining and Quarrying facilities only (Sectors J and H of part 11) should submit one signed
copy of Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report (see Addendum D) required under part 11,
and all other reports required herein, to the division’s Mining Unit at the following address:
Tennessee Division of Water Resources
Mining Unit
3711 Middlebrook Pike
Knoxville, TN 37921
For each outfall, one Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report (see Addendum D) form must be
submitted.
6.3. Electronic Submission of Reports
The division supports and encourages submission of electronic documents (e.g., scanned
reports submitted as PDF files) by using a dedicated email address:
If the division notifies dischargers (directly by mail or E-mail, by public notice, or by making
information available on the Internet) of other Annual Stormwater Monitoring Reports (see
Addendum D) required under part 11, and all other stormwater monitoring reports options
that become available at a later date (e.g., electronic submission of forms or letters), the
permittees may take advantage of those options to satisfy the reporting requirements.
6.4. Special Monitoring Requirements for Coal Pile Runoff
During the period beginning on the effective date and lasting through the expiration date of
this permit, permittees with stormwater discharges containing coal pile runoff shall monitor
such stormwater for pH and TSS (mg/L) at least annually (1 time per year). Permittees with
discharges containing coal pile runoff must report in accordance with subpart 5.2 (Coal Pile
Runoff - Numeric Effluent Limitations) and subpart 6.2 (Reporting: Where to Submit). In
addition to the parameters listed above, the permittee shall maintain a record of the date and
duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) samples; rainfall measurements or estimates (in
inches) of the storm event that generated the sampled runoff; the duration between the storm
event samples and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm
event; and an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge samples.
6.4.1. Sample Type
For discharges containing coal pile runoff, data shall be reported for a grab sample. All
samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than
0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measurable
(greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. The required 72-hour storm event interval is
waived where the preceding measurable storm event did not result in a measurable discharge
from the facility. The required 72-hour storm event interval may also be waived where the
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
23
permittee documents that less than a 72-hour interval is representative for local storm events
during the season when sampling is being conducted. The grab sample shall be taken during
the first 30 minutes of the discharge. If the collection of a grab sample during the first 30
minutes is impracticable, a grab sample can be taken during the first hour of the discharge,
and the discharger shall submit with the monitoring report a description of why a grab sample
during the first 30 minutes was impracticable.
6.4.2. Sampling Waiver
When a discharger is unable to collect samples of coal pile runoff due to adverse climatic
conditions, the discharger shall collect a substitute sample from a separate subsequent
qualifying storm event. Adverse weather conditions that may prohibit the collection of
samples include weather conditions that create dangerous conditions for personnel (such as
local flooding, high winds, hurricane, tornadoes, electrical storms, etc.) or otherwise make the
collection of a sample impracticable (drought, extended frozen conditions, etc.).
6.4.3. Representative Discharge
When a facility has two or more outfalls containing coal pile runoff that, based on a
consideration of the other industrial activity, and significant materials, and upon management
practices and activities within the area drained by the outfall, and the permittee reasonably
believes substantially identical effluents are discharged, the permittee may test the effluent of
one of such outfalls and report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially
identical outfalls provided that the permittee includes in the stormwater pollution prevention
plan a description of the location of the outfalls and explains in detail why the outfalls are
expected to discharge substantially identical effluents. In addition, for each outfall that the
permittee believes is representative, an estimate of the size of the drainage area (in square
feet) and an estimate of the runoff coefficient of the drainage area (e.g., low (under 40
percent), medium (40 to 65 percent) or high (above 65 percent)) shall be provided in the
SWPPP. Permittees required to submit monitoring information under part 8 of this permit
shall include the description of the location of the outfalls, explanation of why outfalls are
expected to discharge substantially identical effluents, and estimate of the size of the drainage
area and runoff coefficient with the Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report (see Addendum
D). This representative discharge provision is not applicable to stormwater discharges from
coal piles regulated under the national effluent limitations guidelines.
6.4.4. Alternative Certification
Facilities with stormwater discharges containing coal pile runoff may not submit alternative
certification in lieu of the required monitoring data.
6.4.5. When to Submit
Permittees with discharges containing coal pile runoff shall submit monitoring results
annually no later than the 31st day of January.

9. TERMINATION OF COVERAGE
9.1. Notice of Termination
Where all stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity that are authorized by this
permit are eliminated, or where the operator of stormwater discharges associated with
industrial activity at a facility changes, the operator of the facility shall submit a written
request for such termination that is signed in accordance with part 7.7 (Signatory
Requirements) of this permit. The written notice shall include the following information:
Facility Information
Name, mailing address, and location of the facility for which the notification is
submitted;
Operator Information
The name, address, and telephone number of the operator addressed by the notice;
Permit Tracking Number
The NPDES permit tracking number (i.e. TNR05XXXX) for the stormwater discharge
associated with industrial activity identified by the notice;
Reason for Termination
An indication of whether the stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity
have been eliminated or the operator of the discharges has changed; and
Certification
The following certification signed in accordance with subpart 7.7 (Signatory
Requirements) of this permit:
“I certify under penalty of law that all stormwater discharges associated
with industrial activity from the identified facility that are authorized by an
NPDES general permit have been eliminated or that I am no longer the
operator of the industrial activity. I understand that by submitting this notice
of termination, that I am no longer authorized to discharge stormwater
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
33
associated with industrial activity under this general permit, and that
discharging pollutants in stormwater associated with industrial activity to
waters of the state is unlawful under the Clean Water Act where the
discharge is not authorized by an NPDES permit. I also understand that the
submittal of this notice of termination does not release an operator from
liability for any violations of this permit or the Clean Water Act.”
9.2. Addresses
All written notices of termination are to be sent to the division’s Environmental Field Office
responsible for the county where the facility is located (see list of EFOs under subpart 3.3 on
page 14 of this permit).
9.3. Electronic Submission of Notice of Termination
The division supports and encourages submission of electronic documents (e.g., scanned
notices of termination submitted as PDF files) by using a dedicated email address:
If the division notifies dischargers (directly by mail or E-mail, by public notice, or by making
information available on the Internet) of other Notice of Termination options that become
available at a later date (e.g., electronic submission of forms or letters), the permittees may
take advantage of those options to satisfy the Notice of Termination notification
requirements.
9.4. No Exposure Certification
The facility may discontinue permit coverage under the TMSP if it is eligible for the “no
exposure” permit exemption. The “no exposure” permit exemption is a conditional exclusion
applicable to all categories of industrial activity (except construction activity) with no
exposure of industrial materials and activities to stormwater. All facilities with point source
discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity that satisfy criteria of no exposure
and complete a no exposure certification form will be able to obtain exclusion from NPDES
stormwater permitting under TMSP.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and
activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow,
snowmelt, and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to,
material handling equipment or activities, industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate
products, by-products, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities include
the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material,
intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm resistant shelter is not required
for the following industrial materials and activities:
Drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers that are tightly sealed, provided those
containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. “Sealed ” means banded or otherwise
secured and without operational taps or valves;
Adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
(TMSP)
34
Final products, other than products that would be mobilized in stormwater discharges
(e.g., rock salt).
A no exposure certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure
exclusion. In addition, the exclusion from NPDES permitting is available on a facility-wide
basis only, not for individual outfalls. If any industrial activities or materials are or will be
exposed to precipitation, the facility is not eligible for the no exposure exclusion.
No exposure certification renewals must be submitted five years from the time they are first
submitted (assuming the facility still qualifies for the exemption). If conditions change at a
facility such that renewed TMSP coverage is needed, the facility must submit an NOI
requesting coverage.
Facilities that qualify for and submit a “no exposure” certification are no longer authorized by
nor required to comply with this permit. Furthermore, facilities that are no longer required to
have permit coverage due to a “no exposure” exclusion, are not required to submit a Notice of
Termination.
A copy of no exposure certification form can be obtained by requesting a copy of the form at
the address listed below, from the division’s Environmental Field Office responsible for the
county where the facility is located (see list of EFOs under subpart 3.3 on page 14 of this
permit), or at the department’s web page for the TMSP
(http://state.tn.us/environment/permits/strmh2o.shtml). The division supports and encourages
submission of electronic documents (e.g., scanned NOIs submitted as PDF files) by using a
dedicated email address:
Alternatively, the no exposure certification form shall be submitted to the division at the
following address:

TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) The sum of the individual wasteload allocations for
point sources and load allocations for nonpoint sources and natural background (40 CFR
130.2(I)). TMDL is a study that: 1.quantifies the amount of a pollutant in a stream,
2.identifies the sources of the pollutant, 3.and recommends regulatory or other actions that
may need to be taken in order for the stream to no longer be polluted. Following are actions
that might be recommended: Re-allocate limits on the sources of pollutants documented as
impacting streams. It might be necessary to lower the amount of pollutants being discharged
under NPDES permits or to require the installation of other control measures, if necessary, to
insure that standards will be met. For sources the division does not have regulatory authority
over, such as ordinary non-point source agricultural and forestry activities, provide
information and technical assistance to other state and federal agencies that work directly
with these groups to install appropriate Best Management Practices. Even for the impacted
streams, TMDL development is not considered appropriate for all bodies of water: if
enforcement has already been taken and a compliance schedule has been developed; or if best
management practices have already been installed for non-regulated activities, the TMDL is
considered not applicable. In cases involving pollution sources in other states, the
recommendation may be that another state or EPA perform the TMDL. TMDL's can also be
described by the following equation:
TMDL = sum of non-point sources (LA)+ sum of point sources (WLA)+ margin of safety
Uncontrolled sanitary landfill means a landfill or open dump, whether in operation or
closed, that does not meet the requirements for run-on or runoff controls established pursuant
to subtitle D of the Solid Waste Disposal Act.

Upset means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with the numeric effluent limitations of parts 5 and 11 of this permit because
of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
Wasteload allocation (WLA): The portion of a receiving water's loading capacity that is
allocated to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution. WLAs constitute the type
of water quality-based effluent limitation. (40 CFR 130.2(h)).
Waste pile means any noncontainerized accumulation of solid, nonflowing waste that is used
for treatment or storage.
Water quality-limited segments: Those water segments that do not or are not expected to
meet applicable water quality standards even after the application of technology.
Waters of the State or simply Waters is defined in the Tennessee Water Quality Control Act
and means any and all water, public or private, on or beneath the surface of the ground, which
are contained within, flow through or border upon Tennessee or any portion thereof except
those bodies of water confined to and retained within the limits of private property in single
ownership which do not combine to effect a junction with natural surface or underground
waters.
Wet weather conveyance is defined in the Tennessee Water Quality Control Act and means,
notwithstanding any other law or rule to the contrary, man-made or natural watercourses,
including natural watercourses that have been modified by channelization:
(A) That flow only in direct response to precipitation runoff in their immediate locality;
(B) Whose channels are at all times above the groundwater table;

For the purpose of this permit, the term "deicing" is defined as the process to remove frost,
snow, or ice and "anti-icing" is the process which prevents the accumulation of frost, snow,
or ice.
Coverage. Only those portions of the facility or establishment that are either involved in
vehicle maintenance (including vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling,
and lubrication), equipment cleaning operations, or deicing/anti-icing operations are
addressed under this section.
When an industrial facility, described by the above coverage provisions of this section, has
industrial activities being conducted onsite that meet the description(s) of industrial activities
in another section(s), that industrial facility shall comply with any and all applicable
monitoring and pollution prevention plan requirements of the other section(s) in addition to
all applicable requirements in this section. The monitoring and pollution prevention plan
terms and conditions of this multi-sector permit are additive for industrial activities being
conducted at the same industrial facility (co-located industrial activities). The operator of the
facility shall determine which other monitoring and pollution prevention plan section(s) of
this permit (if any) are applicable to the facility.
2. Special Conditions
2.1 Prohibition of Non-stormwater Discharges. In addition to those discharges prohibited under
Part 3.1, non-stormwater discharges including aircraft, ground vehicle, runway and
equipment washwaters, and dry weather discharges of deicing/anti-icing chemicals are not
authorized by this permit. Dry weather discharges are those discharges generated by
processes other than those included in the definition of stormwater. The definition of
stormwater includes stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage.
All other discharges constitute non-stormwater discharges. Operators of non-stormwater
discharges must obtain coverage under a separate National Pollutant Discharge Elimination

System (NPDES) permit if discharged to waters of the state or through a municipal separate
storm sewer system.
2.2 Releases of Reportable Quantities of Hazardous Substances and Oil. each individual
permittee is required to report spills equal to or exceeding the reportable quantity levels
specified at 40 CFR 110, 117, and 302 as described at section 6.2.2. If an airport authority is
the sole permittee, then the sum total of all spills at the airport must be assessed against the
RQ. If the airport authority is a co-permittee with other deicing/anti-icing operators at the
airport, such as numerous different airlines, the assessed amount must be the summation of
spills by each co-permittee. If separate, distinct individual permittees exist at the airport, then
the amount spilled by each separate permittee must be the assessed amount for the RQ
determination.
3. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Requirements

outfall locations and the types of discharges contained in the drainage areas of the outfalls.
For each area of the facility that generates stormwater discharges associated with industrial
activity with a reasonable potential for containing significant amounts of pollutants, the plan
should include a prediction of the direction of flow, and an identification of the types of
pollutants which are likely to be present in stormwater discharges associated with industrial
activity. Factors to consider include the toxicity of chemical; quantity of chemicals used,
produced or discharged; the likelihood of contact with stormwater; and history of significant
leaks or spills of toxic or hazardous pollutants. Flows with a significant potential for causing
erosion shall be identified.
The site map developed for the entire airport shall indicate the location of each tenant of the
facility that conducts industrial activities as described in Part 11.S.1, and incorporate
information from the tenants site map (including a description of industrial activities,
significant materials exposed, and existing management practices).

operations shall provide the above information to the airport authority for inclusion in the
stormwater pollution prevention plan for the entire facility.
3.2.3 Measures and Controls. Operators covered by this permit shall develop a description of
stormwater management controls appropriate for their areas of operation, and implement such
controls. The priority in selecting controls shall reflect identified potential sources of
pollutants at the facility. The description of stormwater management controls shall address
the following minimum components, including a schedule for implementing such controls:
3.2.3.1 Good Housekeeping - Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of areas which may
contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges in a clean, orderly manner.
3.2.3.1.1 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Areas - Permittees should ensure the
maintenance of equipment is conducted in designated areas only and clearly identify these
areas on the ground and delineate them on the site map. The plan must describe measures that
prevent or minimize the contamination of the stormwater runoff from all areas used for
aircraft, ground vehicle and equipment maintenance (including the maintenance conducted on
the terminal apron and in dedicated hangars). Management practices or equivalent measures
such as performing maintenance activities indoors, maintaining an organized inventory of
materials used in the maintenance areas, draining all parts of fluids prior to disposal,
preventing the practice of hosing down the apron or hangar floor, using dry cleanup methods,
and/or collecting the stormwater runoff from the maintenance area and providing treatment or
recycling should be considered.
3.2.3.1.2 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning Areas - Permittees should ensure that
cleaning of equipment is conducted in designated areas only and clearly identify these areas
on the ground and delineate them on the site map. The plan must describe measures that
prevent or minimize the contamination of the stormwater runoff from all areas used for
aircraft, ground vehicle and equipment cleaning. Management practices such as performing
cleaning operations indoors, and/or collecting the stormwater runoff from the cleaning area
and providing treatment or recycling should be considered.
3.2.3.1.3 Aircraft, Ground Vehicle and Equipment Storage Areas - The storage of aircraft, ground
vehicles and equipment awaiting maintenance must be confined to designated areas
(delineated on the site map). The plan must describe measures that prevent or minimize the
contamination of the stormwater runoff from these areas. Management practices such as
indoor storage of aircraft and ground vehicles, the use of drip pans for the collection of fluid
leaks, and perimeter drains, dikes or berms surrounding storage areas should be considered.
3.2.3.1.4 Material Storage Areas - Storage units of all materials (e.g., used oils, hydraulic fluids, spent
solvents, and waste aircraft fuel) must be maintained in good condition, so as to prevent or
minimize contamination of stormwater, and plainly labeled (e.g., "used oil," "Contaminated
Jet A," etc.). The plan must describe measures that prevent or minimize contamination of the
stormwater runoff from storage areas. Management practices or equivalent measures such as
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector
General Permit for Industrial Activities (TMSP)
Sector S
5
indoor storage of materials, centralized storage areas for waste materials, and/or installation
of berming and diking around storage areas should be considered for implementation.
3.2.3.1.5 Airport Fuel System and Fueling Areas - The plan must describe measures that prevent or
minimize the discharge of fuels to the storm sewer resulting from fuel servicing activities or
other operations conducted in support of the airport fuel system. Where the discharge of fuels
into the storm sewer cannot be prevented, the plan shall indicate measures that will be
employed to prevent or minimize the discharge of the contaminated runoff into receiving
surface waters. Management practices or equivalent measures such as implementing spill and
overflow practices (e.g., placing sorptive materials beneath aircraft during fueling
operations), using dry cleanup methods, and/or collecting the stormwater runoff should be
considered.
3.2.3.2 Preventive Maintenance - A preventive maintenance program shall involve timely inspection
and maintenance of stormwater management devices (e.g., cleaning oil/water separators,
removing debris from catch basins) as well as inspecting and testing facility equipment and
systems to uncover conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges
of pollutants to surface waters, and ensuring appropriate maintenance of such equipment and
systems.
3.2.3.3 Spill Prevention and Response Procedures - Areas where potential spills which can contribute
pollutants to stormwater discharges can occur, and their accompanying drainage points shall
be identified clearly in the stormwater pollution prevention plan. The plan shall describe
material handling procedures, storage requirements, and consider the use of equipment such
as diversion valves. Procedures for cleaning up spills shall be identified in the plan and made
available to the appropriate personnel. The necessary equipment to implement a clean-up
should be available to personnel.
3.2.3.3.1 Source Reduction - Operators who conduct aircraft and/or runway (including taxiways and
ramps) deicing/anti-icing operations shall evaluate present operating procedures to consider
alternative practices to reduce the overall amount of deicing/anti-icing chemicals used and/or
lessen the environmental impact of the pollutant source.
3.2.3.3.2 With regard to runway deicing operations, operators, at a minimum, shall evaluate: present
application rates to ensure against excessive over application; metered application of deicing
chemical; pre-wetting dry chemical constituents prior to application; installation of runway
ice detection systems; implementing anti-icing operations as a preventive measure against ice
buildup; the use of substitute deicing compounds such as potassium acetate in lieu of ethylene
glycol, propylene glycol and/or urea.
3.2.3.3.3 In considering source reduction management practices for aircraft deicing operations,
operators, at a minimum, should evaluate current application rates and practices to ensure
against excessive over application, and consider pretreating aircraft with hot water prior to
the application of a deicing chemical, thus reducing the overall amount of chemical used per
operation.
3.2.3.3.4 Source reduction measures that the operator determines to be reasonable and appropriate shall
be implemented and maintained. The plan shall provide a narrative explanation of the options
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector
General Permit for Industrial Activities (TMSP)
Sector S
6
considered and the reasoning for whether or not to implement them.
3.2.3.4 Management of Runoff - The plan shall contain a narrative consideration of the
appropriateness of traditional stormwater management practices (practices other than those
which prevent or reduce source(s) of pollutants) used to divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise
manage stormwater runoff in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater discharges from
the site. The potential of various sources at the facility to contribute pollutants to stormwater
discharges associated with industrial activity [see paragraph 11.S.3.2.2 (Description of
Potential Pollutant Sources)] shall be considered. Appropriate measures or equivalent
measures may include: vegetative swales, reuse of collected stormwater (such as for a process
or as an irrigation source), inlet controls (such as oil/water separators), snow management
activities, infiltration devices, and wet detention/retention devices. Measures that the
permittee determines to be reasonable and appropriate shall be implemented and maintained.
Operators that conduct aircraft and/or runway deicing/anti-icing operations shall also provide
a narrative consideration of management practices to control or manage contaminated runoff
from areas where deicing/anti-icing operations occur to reduce the amount of pollutants being
discharged from the site. Structural controls such as establishing a centralized aircraft deicing
facility, and/or collection of contaminated runoff for treatment or recycling should be
considered. Collection and treatment alternatives include, but are not limited to, retention
basins, detention basins with metered controlled release, Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
and/or disposal to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) by way of sanitary sewer or
hauling tankers. Runoff management controls that the operator determines to be reasonable
and appropriate shall be implemented and maintained. The plan should consider the recovery
of deicing/anti-icing materials when these materials are applied during non-precipitation
events to prevent these materials from later becoming a source of stormwater contamination.
The plan shall provide a narrative explanation of the controls selected and the reasons for
their selection.
3.2.3.5 Inspections - In addition to or as part of the comprehensive site evaluation required under this
section, qualified facility personnel shall be identified to inspect designated equipment and
areas of the facility specified in the plan. The inspection frequency shall be specified in the
plan, but at a minimum be conducted once per week during deicing/anti-icing application
periods for areas where deicing/anti-icing operations are being conducted. A set of tracking
or follow-up procedures shall be used to ensure that appropriate actions are taken in response
to the inspections. Records of inspections shall be maintained. The use of a checklist
developed by the pollution prevention team is encouraged.
Note that additional Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements for
discharges into waters with unavailable parameters or Exceptional Tennessee waters, as
described in the subpart 4.6 of this permit may be applicable to your facility.
3.2.3.6 Pollution Prevention Training - Pollution prevention training programs shall be developed to
inform management and personnel responsible for implementing activities identified in the
stormwater pollution prevention plan of the components and goals of the plan. Training
should address topics such as spill response, good housekeeping, aircraft and runway
deicing/anti-icing procedures, and material management practices. The pollution prevention
plan shall identify periodic dates for such training.

3.2.3.7 Recordkeeping and Internal Reporting Procedures - A description of incidents (such as spills,
or other discharges), along with other information describing the quality and quantity of
stormwater discharges shall be included in the plan. Inspections and maintenance activities
shall be documented and records shall be incorporated into the plan.
3.2.3.8 Non-stormwater Discharges
3.2.3.8.1 The plan shall include a certification that the discharge points have been tested or evaluated
for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification shall include the
identification of potential significant sources of non-stormwater at the site, a description of
the results of any test and/or evaluation for the presence of non-stormwater discharges, the
evaluation criteria or testing method used, the date of any testing and/or evaluation, and the
onsite drainage points that were directly observed during the test. Certifications shall be
signed in accordance with subpart 7.7 of this permit. Such certification may not be feasible if
the facility operating the stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity does not
have access to an outfall, manhole, or other point of access to the ultimate conduit which
receives the discharge. In such cases, the source identification section of the stormwater
pollution prevention plan shall indicate why the certification required by this part was not
feasible, along with the identification of potential significant sources of non-stormwater at the
site. A discharger that is unable to provide the certification required by this paragraph must
notify the Division of Water Resources in accordance with paragraph “Failure to Certify”
(below).
3.2.3.8.2 Sources of non-stormwater that are combined with stormwater discharges associated with
industrial activity must be identified in the plan. The plan shall identify and ensure the
implementation of appropriate pollution prevention measures for the non-stormwater
component(s) of the discharge. Any non-stormwater discharges that are not permitted under
an individual NPDES permit should be brought to the attention of the division’s local
Environmental Field Office (see list of EFOs on page 14).
3.2.3.8.3 Failure to Certify - Any facility that is unable to provide the certification required (testing for
non-stormwater discharges), must notify the Division of Water Resources by Not later than
180 days after submitting a notice of intent to be covered by this permit. If the failure to
certify is caused by the inability to perform adequate tests or evaluations, such notification
shall describe: the procedure of any test conducted for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges; the results of such test or other relevant observations; potential sources of non-
stormwater discharges to the storm sewer; and why adequate tests for such storm sewers were
not feasible. Non-stormwater discharges to waters of the state which are not authorized by an
NPDES permit are unlawful, and must be terminated.
3.2.3.8.4 Sediment and Erosion Control - The plan shall identify areas which, due to topography,
activities, or other factors, have a high potential for significant soil erosion, and identify
structural, vegetative, and/or stabilization measures to be used to limit erosion.
3.2.4 Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation. Qualified personnel shall conduct site
compliance evaluations during periods of deicing/anti-icing operations at appropriate

5.1 Analytical Monitoring Requirements
During the period beginning on the effective date and lasting through the expiration date of this permit,
(airports that use more than 100,000 gallons of glycol-based deicing/anti-icing) chemicals
and/or 100 tons or more of urea on an average annual basis):
Shall prepare estimates for annual pollutant loadings resulting from discharges of spent
deicing/anti-icing chemicals from the entire airport. The loading estimates shall reflect the
amounts of deicing/anti-icing chemicals discharged to separate storm sewer systems or
surface waters, prior to and after implementation of the facility's stormwater pollution
prevention plan. Such estimates shall be reviewed by an environmental professional, and
certified by such professional. By means of the certification, the environmental professional,
having examined the facility's deicing/anti-icing procedures, and proposed control measures
described in the stormwater pollution prevention plan, shall attest that the loading estimates
have been accurately prepared. Certified loading estimates are to be retained at the airport
facility and attached to the stormwater pollution prevention plan.
5.2 Analytical Monitoring Requirements
During the term of this permit, airports that use more than 100,000 gallons of glycol-based
deicing/anti-icing) chemicals and/or 100 tons or more of urea on an average annual basis
must monitor their stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity at least once per
calendar year (annually), except as provided in paragraphs 5.1.3 (Sampling Waiver), 5.1.4
(Representative Discharge), and 5.1.5 (Alternative Certification). For SIC-specific
breakdown of monitoring requirements and applicable Monitoring Requirements (listed
below), see Table in Part 1 of this industrial sector (1. Discharges Covered Under This
Section). Airports which are subject to these monitoring requirements must sample their
stormwater discharges for the parameters listed in Table S-1 below. Such facilities must
report in accordance with 5.2 (Reporting). In addition to the parameters listed in Table S-1
below, the permittee shall maintain a record of the date and duration (in hours) of the
precipitation event(s) sampled; measurements or estimates (in inches) of the precipitation
event that generated the sampled runoff; the duration between the event sampled and the end
of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) event; and an estimate of the total
volume (in gallons) of the discharge sampled.

For the purposes of today's final permit, the "average annual" usage rate of deicing/anti-icing
chemicals is determined by averaging the cumulative amount of deicing/anti-icing chemicals
used by all operators at the airport facility in the 3 previous calendar years.
5.2.1 Monitoring Periods. Airports where more than 100,000 gallons of glycol-based deicing/anti-
icing chemicals and/or 100 tons or more of urea are used on an average annual basis shall
monitor outfalls from the facility that collect runoff from areas where deicing/anti-icing
activities occur four times per year during the months of December, January, and February
when deicing/anti-icing activities are occurring, in the years specified in paragraph b.
(above).
5.2.2 Sample Type. A minimum of one grab sample and one flow-weighted composite sample shall
be taken from each outfall that collects runoff from areas where deicing/anti-icing activities
occur. All such samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a precipitation
event that is greater than 0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the
previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) precipitation event. The required 72-
hour storm event interval is waived where the preceding measurable storm event did not
result in a measurable discharge from the facility. The required 72-hour storm event interval
may also be waived where the permittee documents that less than a 72-hour interval is
representative for local storm events during the season when sampling is being conducted.
The grab sample should be taken when pollutant concentrations in the stormwater/melt water
discharges from deicing/anti-icing operations are expected to be at a maximum. The
recommended methodology for performing grab and flow-weighted composite sampling is
described at 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7). The permittee has the option to submit site-specific
deicing/anti-icing discharge monitoring protocol and methodology, better suited to the
particular facility, to the Division of Water Resources for approval.
In addition, the permittee shall evaluate the results obtained from sampling and monitoring
following the required annual sampling events to determine whether the facility is below,
meets, or exceeds the monitoring benchmarks as shown in the table above. If the results of
annual stormwater runoff monitoring demonstrate that the facility has exceeded the
benchmark(s), the permittee must inform the division’s local Environmental Field Office in
writing within 30 days from the time stormwater monitoring results were received, describing
the likely cause of the exceedance(s). Furthermore, within 60 days from the time stormwater
monitoring results were received, the facility must review its stormwater pollution prevention
plan, make any modifications or additions to the plan which would assist in reducing effluent
concentrations to less than the monitoring benchmarks for that facility, and submit to the
division’s local Environmental Field Office a brief summary of the proposed SWPPP
modifications (including a timetable for implementation). The modification or additions to
the SWPPP should be implemented as soon as practicable.
In the event of a repeated benchmark exceedance, the permittee can, in consultation with the
division, make a determination that no further pollutant reduction is technologically available,
economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practices. The permittee
must document the rationale for concluding that no further pollutant reductions are
achievable, and retain all records related to this documentation with the SWPPP.

5.2.3 Sampling Waiver
5.2.3.1 Adverse Conditions - Adverse weather conditions that may prohibit the collection of samples
include weather conditions that create dangerous conditions for personnel (such as high
winds, blizzard conditions, ice storms, etc.) or otherwise make the collection of a sample
impracticable (extended frozen conditions, etc.).
5.2.3.2 Low Concentration Waiver - When the average concentration for a pollutant calculated from
monitoring data collected from first 4 calendar years of monitoring is less than the
corresponding reporting value for that pollutant (Monitoring Benchmark), a facility may
waive monitoring and reporting requirements in the last annual monitoring period. The
facility must submit to the Division of Water Resources, in lieu of the monitoring data, a
certification that there has not been a significant change in industrial activity or the pollution
prevention measures in area of the facility which drains to the outfall for which sampling was
waived.
5.2.3.3 When a discharger is unable to conduct annual chemical stormwater sampling at an inactive
and unstaffed site, the operator of the facility may exercise a waiver of the monitoring
requirements as long as the facility remains inactive and unstaffed. The facility must submit
to the Division of Water Resources, in lieu of monitoring data, a certification statement on the
TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Report stating that the site is inactive and unstaffed so that
collecting a sample during a qualifying event is not possible.
5.2.4 Representative Discharge. When a facility has two or more outfalls that, based on a
consideration of industrial activity, significant materials, and management practices and
activities within the area drained by the outfall, the permittee reasonably believes discharge
substantially identical effluents, the permittee may test the effluent of one of such outfalls and
report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially identical outfall(s) provided
that the permittee includes in the stormwater pollution prevention plan a description of the
location of the outfalls and explains in detail why the outfalls are expected to discharge
substantially identical effluents. In addition, for each outfall that the permittee believes is
representative, an estimate of the size of the drainage area (in square feet) and an estimate of
the runoff coefficient of the drainage area [e.g., low (under 40 percent), medium (40 to 65
percent), or high (above 65 percent)] shall be provided in the plan. The permittee shall
include the description of the location of the outfalls, explanation of why outfalls are
expected to discharge substantially identical effluents, and estimate of the size of the drainage
area and runoff coefficient with the TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Report.
5.2.5 Alternative Certification. The Alternative Certification provision discussed in other sections
of Part 11 is not applicable to discharges included under Part 11.S. (Stormwater Discharges
Associated with Industrial Activity from Vehicle Maintenance Areas, Equipment Cleaning
Areas, or Deicing/Anti-icing Areas Located at Air Transportation Facilities).
5.3 Reporting
Airports shall submit monitoring results for each outfall associated with industrial activity
obtained during the annual reporting period on TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Report
Form(s). The form(s) shall be submitted 30 days after the sampling results are obtained,
Tennessee Storm Water Multi-Sector
General Permit for Industrial Activities (TMSP)
Sector S
12
but no later than the March 31st of the following calendar year, whichever comes first. For each outfall, one signed TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Report form must be submitted to
the Division of Water Resources. Signed copies of TMSP Stormwater Monitoring Reports, or
said certifications, shall be submitted to the division at the appropriate EFO for the county
where the facility is located. A list of EFOs and their addresses are available in subpart 3.3
above.
5.4 Quarterly Visual Examination of Stormwater Quality. Facilities shall perform and document a visual
examination of a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity from each outfall, except
discharges exempted below. The examination must be made at least once in each designated period
[described in (1), below] during daylight hours unless there is insufficient rainfall or snow melt to
produce a runoff event.
5.4.1 Examinations shall be conducted in each of the following periods for the purposes of visually
inspecting stormwater quality associated with stormwater runoff or snow melt: January through March;
April through June; July through September; and October through December.
5.4.2 Examinations shall be made of samples collected within the first 30 minutes (or as soon
thereafter as practical, but not to exceed one hour) of when the runoff or snowmelt begins discharging.
The examinations shall document observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids,
suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. The examination
must be conducted in a well-lit area. No analytical tests are required to be performed on the samples. All
such samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1
inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1
inch rainfall) storm event. Where practicable, the same individual will carry out the collection and
examination of discharges for the life of the permit.
5.4.3 When a discharger is unable to collect samples over the course of the visual examination period
as a result of adverse climatic conditions, the discharger must document the reason for not performing the
visual examination and retain this documentation onsite with the records of the visual examination.
Adverse weather conditions that may prohibit the collection of samples include weather conditions that
create dangerous conditions for personnel (such as local flooding, high winds, hurricanes, tornadoes,
electrical storms, etc.) or otherwise make the collection of a sample impracticable (drought, extended
frozen conditions, etc.).
5.4.4 When a discharger is unable to conduct visual stormwater examinations at an inactive and
unstaffed site, the operator of the facility may exercise a waiver of the monitoring requirement as long as
the facility remains inactive and unstaffed. The facility must maintain a certification with the pollution
prevention plan stating that the site is inactive and unstaffed so that performing visual examinations
during a qualifying event is not feasible.
5.4.5 Visual examination reports must be maintained onsite in the pollution prevention plan or with
other compliance records. The report shall include the examination date and time, examination personnel,
the nature of the discharge (i.e., runoff or snow melt), visual quality of the stormwater discharge
(including observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil
sheen, and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution), and probable sources of any observed
stormwater contamination.

5.4.6 When a facility has two or more outfalls that, based on a consideration of industrial activity,
significant materials, and management practices and activities within the area drained by the outfall, the
permittee reasonably believes discharge substantially identical effluents, the permittee may collect a
sample of effluent of one of such outfalls and report that the examination data also applies to the
substantially identical outfalls provided that the permittee includes in the stormwater pollution prevention
plan a description of the location of the outfalls and explaining in detail why the outfalls are expected to
discharge substantially identical effluents. In addition, for each outfall that the permittee believes is
representative, an estimate of the size of the drainage area (in square feet) and an estimate of the runoff
coefficient of the drainage area [e.g., low (under 40 percent), medium (40 to 65 percent), or high (above
65 percent)] shall be provided in the plan.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
NFPA 704 Hazard Class
Acute: Headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue
Delayed: None known or anticipated. See Section 11 for information on effects from chronic exposure, if any.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing, and flush affected area(s) with large amounts of water. If skin surface isdamaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention. If skin surface is not damaged, cleanse affected area(s) thoroughlyby washing with mild soap and water or a waterless hand cleaner. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention. Washcontaminated clothing before reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of theappearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician. (see Note to Physician)
Eye Contact: If irritation or redness develops from exposure, flush eyes with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medicalattention.
Ingestion (Swallowing): Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material can enter thelungs and cause severe lung damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and vomiting, place on the left side with the head down. Ifpossible, do not leave victim unattended and observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Seek medical attention.
Notes to Physician: Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to highconcentrations of hydrocarbon solvents (e.g., in enclosed spaces or with deliberate abuse). The use of other drugs with lessarrhythmogenic potential should be considered. If sympathomimetic drugs are administered, observe for the development ofcardiac arrhythmias.
When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can occur. In this case, the casualty should be sentimmediately to hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. High-pressure hydrocarbon injection injuries may producesubstantial necrosis of underlying tissue despite an innocuous appearing external wound. These injuries often require extensiveemergency surgical debridement and all injuries should be evaluated by a specialist in order to assess the extent of injury. Earlysurgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
Federal regulations (29 CFR 1910.1028) specify medical surveillance programs for certain exposures to benzene above the actionlevel or PEL (specified in Section (i)(1)(i) of the Standard). In addition, employees exposed in an emergency situation shall, asdescribed in Section (i)(4)(i), provide a urine sample at the end of the shift for measurement of urine phenol.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Most important symptoms and effects:
Inhalation (Breathing): If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air in aposition comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen or artificial respiration should be administered by qualifiedpersonnel. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

Environmental Precautions: Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, stormdrains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use foam on spills to minimize vapors. Use water sparinglyto minimize environmental contamination and reduce disposal requirements. If spill occurs on water notify appropriate authoritiesand advise shipping of any hazard. Spills into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines that cause asheen or discoloration on the surface of the water, may require notification of the National Response Center (phone number800-424-8802).
Special protective actions for firefighters: For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazardarea should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a selfcontained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant(see Section 8).
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamagedcontainers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors andto protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done safely. Avoid spreading burning liquid with waterused for cooling purposes.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protectexposed materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confinedspaces. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam. Water may beineffective for extinguishment, unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicableregulations. Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill withinert material such as sand or vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water remove with appropriatemethods (e.g. skimming, booms or absorbents). In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation ordisposal, in accordance with local regulations.
Recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however local conditions andregulations may influence or limit the choice of appropriate actions to be taken.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable. This material can be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or othersources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may travel considerabledistances to a source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back, or explode. May create vapor/air explosion hazard indoors,in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. This product will float and can be reignited on surface water. Vapors are heavierthan air and can accumulate in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.

Other
Precautions for safe handling: Keep away from ignition sources such as heat/sparks/open flame – No smoking. Takeprecautionary measures against static discharge. Nonsparking tools should be used. Obtain special instructions before use. Do nothandle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection. Washthoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section8). Extremely Flammable. May vaporize easily at ambient temperatures. The vapor is heavier than air and may create anexplosive mixture of vapor and air. Beware of accumulation in confined spaces and low lying areas. Open container slowly torelieve any pressure. Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling or processing thismaterial. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipmentbefore transferring material. The use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended and may be required (seeappropriate fire codes). Refer to NFPA-70 and/or API RP 2003 for specific bonding/grounding requirements. Do not enter confinedspaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. Do not wearcontaminated clothing or shoes. Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as sparks or open flames.
High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious consequences even thoughno symptoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure equipment such as high pressuregrease guns, fuel injection apparatus or from pinhole leaks in tubing of high pressure hydraulic oil equipment.
For use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a solvent due to its flammable and potentially toxic properties. Siphoning by mouth canresult in lung aspiration which can be harmful or fatal.
The use of hydrocarbon fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels of incomplete combustionproducts (e.g. carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, benzene and other hydrocarbons) and/or dangerously low oxygenlevels.
Gasoline engine exhaust contains hazardous combustion products and has been identified as a possible cancer hazard. Exposureshould be minimized to reduce potential risk.
Static Accumulation Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material.To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding of tanks, transfer piping, and storage tank level floats are necessary but may not,by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostaticcharge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switchloading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. Special care shouldbe given to ensure that special slow load procedures for "switch loading" are followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that canexist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products(such as gasoline or naphtha). For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and CombustibleLiquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the AmericanPetroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and StrayCurrents'.

Conditions to avoid: Avoid high temperatures and all sources of ignition. Prevent vapor accumulation.
Aspiration Hazard: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.
Chemical stability: Stable under normal ambient and anticipated conditions of use.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Information on Toxicological Effects of Substance/Mixture
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes mild eye irritation.
Symptoms of Overexposure: Effects of overexposure can include slight irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, vomiting,and signs of nervous system depression (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation andfatigue). Continued exposure to high concentrations can result in vomiting, cardiac irregularities and sudden loss ofconsciousness.
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents.
Skin Sensitization: Not expected to be a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected to be a respiratory sensitizer.
Reactivity: Not chemically reactive.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): May cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): Not expected to cause organ effects from repeated exposure. Twoyear inhalation studies of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline, and 90 days studies of various petroleum naphthas, did notproduce significant target organ toxicity in laboratory animals. Nephropathy in male rats, characterized by the accumulation ofalpha-2-u- globulin in epithelial cells of the proximal tubules was observed, however follow-up studies suggest that thesechanges are unique to the male rat.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Hazardous reactions not anticipated.
Hazardous decomposition products: Not anticipated under normal conditions of use.
Carcinogenicity: May cause cancer. Based on component information. Two year inhalation studies of vaporized unleadedgasoline produced an increased incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. Repeated skinapplication of various petroleum naphthas in mice for two years resulted in an increased incidence of skin tumors but only inthe presence of severe skin irritation. Follow-up mechanistic studies suggest that the occurrence of these tumors may be theconsequence of promotional processes and not relevant to human risk assessment. Epidemiology data collected from a studyof more than 18,000 petroleum marketing and distribution workers showed no increased risk of leukemia, multiple myeloma, orkidney cancer from gasoline exposure. Unleaded gasoline has been identified as a possible carcinogen by the InternationalAgency for Research on Cancer.

Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Benzene exposure has resulted in chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes and animalbone marrow cells. Exposure has also been associated with chromosomal aberrations in sperm cells in human and animalstudies.
Toluene
Information on Toxicological Effects of Components
Ethylbenzene
Carcinogenicity: Rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, or 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a two year inhalation studydemonstrated limited evidence of kidney, liver, and lung cancer. Ethyl benzene has been listed as a possible humancarcinogen by IARC.
Carcinogenicity: Exposure of rats and mice to toluene at concentrations ranging from 120-1200 ppm for two years did notdemonstrate evidence of carcinogenicity. Toluene has not been listed as a carcinogen by IARC.
Target Organs: In rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, or 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a two year inhalation study there wasmild damage to the kidney (tubular hyperplasia), liver (eosinophilio foci, hypertrophy, necrosis), lung (alveolar epitheliummetaplasia), thyroid (hyperplasia), thyroid (hyperplasia) and pituitary (hyperplasia). In animal models (particularly rats), ethylbenzene affects the auditory function mainly in the cochlear mid-frequency range and ototoxicity was observed after combinedexposure to noise and ethyl benzene. There is no evidence of either ethyl benzene-induced hearing losses or ototoxicity withcombined exposure to ethyl benzene and noise in workers.
Hexane
Target Organs: Epidemiology studies suggest that chronic occupational overexposure to toluene may damage color vision.Subchronic and chronic inhalation studies with toluene produced kidney and liver damage, hearing loss and central nervoussystem (brain) damage in laboratory animals. Intentional misuse by deliberate inhalation of high concentrations of toluene hasbeen shown to cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system damage, including hearing loss and visual disturbances.
Xylenes (o-, m-, p- isomers)
Target Organs: Excessive exposure to n-hexane can result in peripheral neuropathies. The initial symptoms are symmetricalsensory numbness and paresthesias of distal portions of the extremities. Motor weakness is typically observed in muscles ofthe toes and fingers but may also involve muscles of the arms, thighs and forearms. The onset of these symptoms may bedelayed for several months to a year after the beginning of exposure. The neurotoxic properties of n-hexane are potentiated byexposure to methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not expected to cause heritable genetic effects. Gasoline was negative in microbial mutagenicityand unscheduled DNA tests in rat hepatocytes. Gasoline did not induce chromosome aberrations in vivo in rat bone marrowcells and was negative in a mouse dominant lethal assay.
Reproductive Toxicity: Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of n-hexane (>1,000 ppm) resulted in decreased spermcount and degenerative changes in the testes of rats but not those of mice.
Reproductive Toxicity: Exposure to toluene during pregnancy has demonstrated limited evidence of developmental toxicity inlaboratory animals. Decreased fetal body weight and increased skeletal variations in both inhalation and oral studies, but onlyat doses that were maternally toxic. No fetal toxicity was seen at doses that were not maternally toxic. Decreased spermcounts have been observed in male rats in the absence of a reduction in fertility. Toluene has been reported to cause mentalor growth retardation in the children of solvent abusers who directly inhale toluene during pregnancy.

Target Organs: Rats exposed to xylenes at 800, 1000 or 1200 ppm 14 hours daily for 6 weeks demonstrated high frequencyhearing loss. Another study in rats exposed to 1800 ppm 8 hours daily for 5 days demonstrated middle frequency hearing loss.
Carcinogenicity: Benzene is an animal carcinogen and is known to produce acute myelogenous leukemia (a form of cancer)in humans. Benzene has been identified as a human carcinogen by IARC, the US National Toxicology Program and theUS-Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Other Comments: Gasoline engine exhaust has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)as possibly carcinogenic to human.
Target Organs: Prolonged or repeated exposures to benzene vapors can cause damage to the blood and blood formingorgans, including disorders like leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and aplastic anemia.
Date of Issue: 04-Mar-2013
Reproductive Toxicity: Both mixed xylenes and the individual isomers produced limited evidence of developmental toxicity inlaboratory animals. Inhalation and oral administration of xylene resulted in decreased fetal weight, increased incidences ofdelayed ossification, skeletal variations and resorptions, but no evidence of teratogenicity.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected to cause reproductive toxicity. No evidence of developmental toxicity was found inpregnant laboratory animals (rats and mice) exposed to high vapor concentrations of unleaded gasoline and petroleumnaphthas via inhalation. A two-generation reproductive toxicity study of vapor recovery gasoline did not adversely affectreproductive function or offspring survival and development.
Page 7/11Status: FINAL
Reproductive Toxicity: Some studies in occupationally exposed women have suggested benzene exposure increased risk ofmiscarriage and stillbirth and decreased birth weight and gestational age. The size of the effects detected in these studies wassmall, and ascertainment of exposure and outcome in some cases relied on self-reports, which may limit the reliability of theseresults.

Mobility in Soil: On release to water, hydrocarbons will float on the surface and since they are sparingly soluble, the onlysignificant loss is volatilization to air. In air, these hydrocarbons are photodegraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals with half livesvarying from 6.5 days for benzene to 0.5 days for n-dodecane.
Toxicity: Acute aquatic toxicity studies on samples of gasoline and naphtha streams show acute toxicity values greater than 1mg/L and mostly in the range 1-100 mg/L. These tests were carried out on water accommodated fractions, in closed systems toprevent evaporative loss. Results are consistent with the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their hydrocarboncomposition. These substances should be regarded as toxic to aquatic organisms, with the potential to cause long term adverseeffects in the aquatic environment.

Further information : Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ventilate the area. Remove all sources of ignition. Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (see Section 8).
Environmental precautions : Discharge into the environment must be avoided. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods for cleaning up : Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling : Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. No smoking near areas where material is stored or handled. The product should only be stored and handled in areas with intrinsically safe electrical classification.
Hydrocarbon liquids including this product can act as a non-conductive flammable liquid (or static accumulators), and may form ignitable vapor-air mixtures in storage tanks or other containers. Precautions to prevent static-initated fire or explosion during transfer, storage or handling, include but are not limited to these examples:
(1) Ground and bond containers during product transfers. Grounding and bonding may not be adequate protection to prevent ignition or explosion of hydrocarbon liquids and vapors that are static accumulators.
(2) Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products (such gasoline or naphtha).
(3) Storage tank level floats must be effectively bonded. For more information on precautions to prevent static-initated fire or explosion, see NFPA 77, Recommended Practice on Static Electricity (2007), and API Recommended Practice 2003, Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents (2008).
Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities
: Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty or partially full product containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose containers to sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated area. The storage area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks".

Inhalation and further information
Acute toxicity of benzene results primarily from depression of the central nervous system (CNS). Inhalation of concentrations over 50 ppm can produce headache, lassitude, weariness, dizziness, drowsiness, over excitation. Exposure to very high levels can result in unconsciousness and death.
Repeated over-exposure may cause liver and kidney injuries. Components of the product may affect the nervous system.
IARC has determined that gasoline and gasoline exhaust are possibly carcinogenic in humans. Inhalation exposure to completely vaporized unleaded gasoline caused kidney cancers in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. The U.S. EPA has determined that the male kidney tumors are species-specific and are irrelevant for human health risk assessment. The significance of the tumors seen in female mice is not known. Exposure to light hydrocarbons in the same boiling range as this product has been associated in animal studies with effects to the central and peripheral nervous systems, liver, and kidneys. The significance of these animal models to predict similar human response to gasoline is uncertain. This product contains benzene. Human health studies indicate that prolonged and/or repeated overexposure to benzene may cause damage to the blood-forming system (particularly bone marrow), and serious blood disorders such as aplastic anemia and leukemia. Benzene is listed as a human carcinogen by the NTP, IARC, OSHA and ACGIH.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Route Measures Inhalation Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, ensure an open airway and provide artificial respiration.
If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Aspiration Hazard: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances including irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.
Eye Contact In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention. In case of contact lenses, remove immediately.
Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. Thermal burns require immediate medical attention depending on the severity and of the area of the body burned.
Most Important Symptoms Contact with eyes and face may cause irritation. Long-term exposure may cause dermatitis (itching, irritation, pain and swelling).
Inhalation may cause irritation and significant or long term exposure could cause respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion may cause aspiration, gastrointestinal disturbance, and CNS effects.
Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment For contact with skin or eyes, immediately wash or flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. If possible, irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS). If ingested, rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).
If inhaled, administer oxygen or establish a patent airway if breathing is labored. Suction if necessary. Monitor closely, anticipate seizures. Consider orotracheal or nostracheal intubation of airway control if patient is unconscious or is in severe respiratory distress.
Discard any clothing or shoes contaminated as they may be flammable.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical are most suitable
SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, C02, water spray, firefighting foam, or Halon. Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment. LARGE FIRES: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
Specific Hazards / Products of Combustion Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame with a very low flash point. Product is flammable and easily ignited when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. Flowing product may be ignited by self-generated static electricity. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.
Combustion may produce smoke, carbon monoxide and other products of incomplete combustion.
Special Precautions and Protective Equipment for Firefighters Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water.
Page 3 of 11 May 2016
SAFETY DATA SHEET Diesel Fuel
For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied firefighting foam.
Fighting Equipment/Instructions Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should require NIOSH- approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece and protective clothing.
Refer to Section 9 for fire properties of this chemical including flash point, auto ignition temperature, and explosive limits.

ACTIVATE FACILITY SPCC, SPILL CONTINGENCY or EMERGENCY PLAN.
Personal Precautions Due to high vapor density, flammable / toxic vapors may be present in low lying areas, dikes, pits, drains, or trenches. Vapors may accumulate in low lying areas and reach ignitable concentrations. Ventilate the area. Use of non-sparking tools and intrinsically safe equipment is recommended. Potential for flammable atmosphere should be monitored using a combustible gas indicator positioned downwind of the spill area. Refer to Sections 2 and 7 for further hazard warnings and handling instructions.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent eye/skin contact and absorption. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection, if warranted, to prevent exposures above permissible limits. Refer to Section 8. Contaminated clothing should not be near sources of ignition.
Emergency Measures As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. Consider wind direction. Secure all ignition sources (flame, spark, hot work, hot metal, etc.) from area. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking sewers, etc. to confirm spill areas. Do not touch or walk-through spilled material. For large spills, isolate initial action distance downwind 1,000 ft. (300 m).
Environmental Precautions Stop the spill to prevent environmental release if it can be done safely. Product is toxic to aquatic life. Take action to isolate environmental receptors including drains, storm sewers and natural water bodies. Keep on impervious surface if at all possible. Use water sparingly to prevent product from spreading. Foam and absorbents may be used to reduce / prevent airborne release.
Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary to determine the extent of subsurface impact.
Follow federal, state or local requirements for reporting environmental release where necessary. Refer to Section 15 for further information.
Containment and Clean-Up Methods Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of firefighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection.
Take up with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible, inert oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container with clean, non-sparking tools for reclamation or disposal. Response and cleanup crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate protective equipment.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
USE ONLY AS A FUEL. DO NOT SIPHON BY MOUTH.
Handling Precautions Handle as a flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. No smoking. Electrical equipment should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer pursuant to NFPA 70 and API RP 2003 to

reduce the possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion. Follow precautions to prevent static initiated fire.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Use only with protective equipment specified in Section 8. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Use only outdoors or in well ventilated areas. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing this product from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes and gloves. Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure.
Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products (such as this product) - see API RP 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out Of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents."
Storage Large quantities of diesel fuel are stored in tanks or portable containers at an ambient storage temperature. Separate from incompatible chemicals (Refer to Section 10) by distance or secondary containment. Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented containers that are clearly labeled. Label all secondary containers that this material is transferred into with the chemical name and associated hazard(s). Empty product containers or vessels may contain flammable vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition.
Storage tanks should have a venting system. If stored in small containers, the area should be well ventilated, away from ignition sources and protected from potential damage or vehicular traffic. Post “No Smoking” signs in product storage areas. This storage area should comply with NFPA 30 “Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code” or applicable building code. The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 “Cleaning Mobile Tanks in Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service” and API RP 2015 “Safe Entry and Cleaning of Petroleum Storage Tanks”.
Incompatibles Keep away from strong oxidizers, ignition sources and heat.
