Who has supervision over the facility's storm water treatment and control measures?

The supervision over a facility's storm water treatment and control measures is typically designated to the Industrial Storm Water Certified Operator. This individual has been specifically trained and certified to understand the complexities of storm water management, including regulatory requirements and best practices for treatment and control. They are responsible for ensuring that the facility complies with applicable storm water regulations, monitoring treatment processes, and implementing necessary control measures to prevent pollution and maintain water quality.

The role of the Industrial Storm Water Certified Operator encompasses not only oversight of the storm water systems but also the ability to assess their effectiveness and recommend improvements based on industry standards and environmental guidelines. This specialized knowledge is critical in managing storm water effectively, particularly in industrial environments where the potential for pollutant discharge can have significant environmental consequences.

In contrast, other roles such as the Site Manager or Operations Supervisor have broader responsibilities that may include overall facility management or ensuring effective operations, but they may not possess the specific training and expertise required for storm water management. Environmental Consultants support organizations by providing advice and assessments, but the direct supervision of the storm water treatment processes lies with the certified operator who actively manages and ensures compliance daily.
