SAWS Storm Water Industrial inspection forms:
Industrial Inspections
A team of inspectors identify facilities that require either pretreatment and/or storm water discharge permits under the TPDES Multi sector Storm Water General permit or the 40 CFR 403-413 pretreatment regulations. Inspectors issue appropriate discharge permits, review data for compliance, issue enforcement actions, perform compliance inspections on permitted facilities and inspect facilities under the “No Exposure Exemption” to confirm compliance. The team also tracks and fulfills all reporting requirements.
Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Investigations
SAWS specialists in Industrial Compliance respond to complaint calls from SAWS Emergency Operations Center, the San Antonio Fire Department, City of San Antonio 311 Call Center, business operators and the residential community. Discharges may involve illegal dumping to the sanitary sewer system or MS4, hazardous materials incidents at industrial facilities or a variety of other types of complaints.
In-Stream Monitoring Programs
During rain events measuring at least one-half inch, SAWS In-Stream Monitoring Program obtains background parameters and identifies pollutants flowing into the MS4. Monitoring and analysis for TPDES permit compliance is performed in-house. As pollutant loading calculations on data also are made, discharge monitoring reports are completed as well as other reporting requirements.
