California CA Industrial Awareness Program

This course is designed to cover some of the key components necessary for an industrial facility to develop and maintain a robust stormwater program under the California Industrial General Permit (IGP).  This course also provides the following:

•   An introduction to the California Industrial General Permit (IGP), the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and the timeline for compliance.
•   Industrial Best Management Practices (BMPs) from selection to implementation to maintenance of a BMP.
•   Inspection requirements of the Industrial General Permit (IGP), observations needed and BMP deficiencies.
•   Sampling requirements, planning, analysis, monitoring requirements, visual observations and water quality samples.
•   How a stormwater program and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is an iterative process and reporting requirements using the online SMARTS system.
•   Recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the monitoring program.
