Welcome, we're diving into the world of industry regulations, focusing on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP). Our goal is to simplify the complexities of stormwater management requirements for various industrial sectors.
Imagine a busy manufacturing plant on the outskirts of a city, dealing with different sectors covered by the EPA MSGP Permit. Meet Sarah, the environmental compliance manager, tasked with navigating the maze of regulatory mandates to ensure the facility meets environmental standards.
As Sarah navigates through the sector-specific requirements, she encounters a mix of challenges and opportunities. Each sector has unique compliance obligations, from manufacturing to construction. Through Sarah's journey, we'll explore the nuances of stormwater management regulations tailored to diverse industrial activities.
Our presentation breaks down these regulations into easy-to-understand concepts, offering insights into what each sector must do to manage stormwater effectively. From developing comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) to implementing best management practices (BMPs), we'll cover the essential elements of compliance for each industry.
Using real-world examples and case studies, we'll show how these regulations apply in different contexts and provide a compliance framework that any industrial facility can utilize for site audits, trainings, and enforcement actions.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees will:
Participants will be able to describe and correctly identify the differences between general and sector specific requirements for various industrial sectors under the MSGP.
When performing a mock industrial SWPPP review, participants will be able to identify at least 75% of missing, incorrect and incomplete general and sector specific components that would result in a violation of the MSGP.
Participants will correctly complete an Industrial Site Data form for either a mock or real facility and provided the outline of an actionable plan that can utilized in the future.
