Contact MPCA MS4 Permit Program <br />staff for appropriate next steps. <br /> Yes No <br /> 4) Does your treatment system include in-lake phosphorus treatment activities? <br />*If yes, in-lake phosphorus treatment is not authorized under this permit. Contact MPCA MS4 <br />Permit Program staff for appropriate next steps. <br /> Yes No <br /> b. Treatment system design <br /> 1) Is your treatment system constructed in a manner that diverts the stormwater flow away from <br />the main conveyance system for treatment? <br /> Yes No <br /> 2) Is a High Flow Bypass part of the inlet design for your treatment system? Yes No <br /> 3) Does your treatment system include a flocculent storage/settling area incorporated into the <br />design, and adequate maintenance access provided (minimum of eight-feet wide) for the <br />removal of accumulated sediment? <br />If you answered no to any of the above permit requirements in 4.b.1) – 3) (Treatment System <br />Design), describe the tasks and corresponding schedules that will be taken to assure that, <br />within 12 months of the date permit coverage is extended, these permit requirements are met. <br /> <br /> Yes No <br />Answer yes or no below to indicate if your alum or ferric chloride phosphorus treatment system meets the following <br />requirements in the Permit: <br /> c. Monitoring <br /> 1) During operation, does your treatment system have a designated responsible person <br />performing visual monitoring of the treatment system for proper performance at least once <br />every seven (7) days, and within 24 hours after a rainfall event greater than 2.5 inches in 24 <br />hours? <br /> Yes No <br /> <br /> 2) Following visual monitoring which occurs within 24 hours after a rainfall event, do you conduct <br />the next visual monitoring of your system seven (7) days after that rainfall event? <br /> Yes No <br /> 3) Does your treatment system utilize three benchmark monitoring stations? Table B-1(Monitoring <br />Parameters During Operation) in the Permit shall be used for the parameters, units of measure, <br />and frequency of measurement for each station. <br /> Yes No <br /> 4) Do you collect grab samples or flow-weighted 24-hour composite samples at your treatment <br />system? <br /> Yes No <br /> 5) Are your treatment system samples, excluding pH samples, analyzed by a certified laboratory <br />by the Minnesota Department of Health and or the MPCA? <br /> Yes No <br /> (a) Do your sample preservation and test procedures for the analysis of pollutants conform to <br />40 CFR Part 136 and Minn. R. 7041.3200? <br /> Yes No <br /> (b) Are your detection limits for dissolved phosphorus, dissolved aluminum, and dissolved iron <br />at a minimum of 6 micrograms per liter (µg/L), 10 µg/L, and 20 µg/L, respectively? <br /> Yes No <br /> (c) Do you measure pH within 15 minutes of sample collection using properly calibrated and <br />maintained equipment? <br /> Yes No <br /> 6) In the following situations, will you perform corrective actions and immediately notify the <br />Minnesota Department of Public Safety Duty Officer, if: <br /> <br /> (a) The pH of the discharged water is not within the range of 6.0 and 9.0? Yes No <br /> (b) There are any indications of toxicity or measurements exceeding water quality standards? Yes No <br /> (c) There is a spill, as defined in Minn. Stat. § 115.01, subd. 13, of alum or ferric chloride. Yes No
