Complying with Minnesota Industrial Stormwater Requirements Eagan, MN Friday, November 30, 2012
This full day training seminar will cover the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial storm water discharges. The course will begin with a discussion of the regulation of stormwater discharge under the Federal Clean Water Act, and then the specific requirements under the MPCA industrial permit, issued in 2010. This will include sector specific requirements, use of benchmark monitoring, effluent guideline monitoring and corrective action requirements. The morning session will include a discussion of additional requirements for stormwater discharges to impaired waters and other special waters identified in the MSGP.
The afternoon session will focus on implementing best managemt practices and development of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) at individual facilities. This will include a discussion of monitoring and reported requirements to comply with the Minnesota MSGP.
