What must be submitted to the district supervisor if a permit authorizes a storm water discharge from Sites of Environmental Contamination?

When a permit authorizes a storm water discharge from sites of environmental contamination, it is crucial to provide the district supervisor with a Short Term Storm Water Characterization Study Plan. This plan is essential because it outlines how the facility will assess the quality of storm water runoff and identify any potential contaminants that may affect the surrounding environment.

The Short Term Storm Water Characterization Study Plan is specifically designed to monitor and characterize the pollutants in storm water discharges, especially when dealing with sites that have a history of contamination. This ensures that any potential risks to public health or the environment are identified early enough so that appropriate measures can be put in place.

In contrast, while a Risk Assessment Report offers valuable information regarding potential hazards and impacts, it does not focus specifically on storm water characterization or the immediate monitoring required after a discharge permit is granted. A Compliance Verification Form, on the other hand, typically serves as documentation to prove adherence to regulations and may not be detailed enough to address all aspects of storm water runoff from contaminated sites. Finally, a Site Management Plan provides an overarching strategy for managing environmental issues at a site but does not specifically target the immediate characterization and monitoring needs of storm water discharges.

Given these distinctions, the Short Term Storm Water Characterization Study Plan is the
