measures that prevent or minimize the discharge of fuel to the storm
sewer/surface waters resulting from fuel servicing activities or other
operations conducted in support of the airport fuel system. Consider
the following BMPs (or their equivalents): implementing spill and
overflow practices (e.g., placing absorptive materials beneath aircraft
during fueling operations); using dry cleanup methods; and collecting
storm water runoff.
6.S.5.3.6 Source Reduction. Consider alternatives to the use of
urea and glycol-based deicing chemicals to reduce the aggregate amount
of deicing chemicals used and/or lessen the environmental impact.
Chemical options to replace ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and urea
include: potassium acetate; magnesium acetate; calcium acetate;
anhydrous sodium acetate.
6.S.5.3.6.1 Runway Deicing Operation: Evaluate, at a minimum,
whether over-application of deicing chemicals occurs by analyzing
application rates and adjusting as necessary, consistent with
considerations of flight safety. Also consider these BMP options (or
their equivalents): metered application of chemicals; pre-wetting dry
chemical constituents prior to application; installing a runway ice
detection system; implementing anti-icing operations as a preventive
measure against ice buildup.
6.S.5.3.6.2 Aircraft Deicing Operations: As in Part 6.S.5.3.6.1,
determine whether excessive application of deicing chemicals occurs and
adjust as necessary, consistent with considerations of flight safety.
EPA intends for this evaluation to be carried out by the personnel most
familiar with the particular aircraft and flight operations in question
(vice an outside entity such as the airport authority). Consider using
alternative deicing/anti-icing agents as well as containment measures
for all applied chemicals. Also consider these BMP options (or their
equivalents) for reducing deicing fluid use: forced-air deicing
systems, computer-controlled fixed-gantry systems, infrared technology,
hot water, varying glycol content to air temperature, enclosed-basket
deicing trucks, mechanical methods, solar radiation, hangar storage,
aircraft covers, thermal blankets for MD-80s and DC-9s. Also consider
using ice-detection systems and airport traffic flow strategies and
departure slot allocation systems.
6.S.5.3.7 Management of Runoff. Where deicing operations occur,
describe and implement a program to control or manage contaminated
runoff to reduce the amount of pollutants being discharged from the
site. Consider these BMP options (or their equivalents): a dedicated
deicing facility with a runoff collection/recovery system; using
vacuum/collection trucks; storing contaminated storm water/deicing
fluids in tanks and releasing controlled amounts to a publicly owned
treatment works; collecting contaminated runoff in a wet pond for
biochemical decomposition (be aware of attracting wildlife that may
prove hazardous to flight operations); and directing runoff into
vegetative swales or other infiltration measures. Also consider
recovering deicing materials when these materials are applied during
non-precipitation events (e.g., covering storm sewer inlets, using
booms, installing absorptive interceptors in the drains, etc.) to
prevent these materials from later becoming a source of storm water
contamination. Used deicing fluid should be recycled whenever possible.
6.S.5.4 Inspections. (See also Part 4.2.7.2.1.5) Specify the
frequency of inspections in your SWPPP. At a minimum they must be
conducted monthly during the deicing season (e.g., October through
April for most mid-latitude airports). If your facility needs to deice
before or after this period, expand the monthly inspections to include
all months during which deicing chemicals may be used. Also, if
significantly or deleteriously large quantities of deicing chemicals
are being spilled or discharged, or if water quality impacts have been
reported, increase the frequency of your inspections to weekly until
such time as the chemical spills/discharges or impacts are reduced to
acceptable levels. The Director may specifically require you to
increase inspections and SWPPP reevaluations as necessary.
6.S.5.5 Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation. (See also 4.9)
(See also Part 4.9)
Using only qualified personnel, conduct your annual site compliance
evaluations during periods of actual deicing operations, if possible.
If not practicable during active deicing or the weather is too
inclement, conduct the evaluations when deicing operations are likely
to occur and the materials and equipment for deicing are in place.
6.S.6 Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. (See also Part 5)

designated by the Director as needing a storm water permit, or any
discharges of industrial activity that do not meet the description of
an industrial activity covered by Sectors A-AC. Therefore, almost any
type of storm water discharge could be covered under this sector. You
must be assigned to Sector AD by the Director and may NOT choose sector
AD as the sector describing your activities on your own.
6.AD.1.1 Eligibility for Permit Coverage. Because this Sector only
covers discharges designated by the Director as needing a storm water
permit (which is an atypical circumstance) or your facility's
industrial activities were inadvertently left out of Sectors A-AC, and
your facility may or may not normally be discharging storm water
associated with industrial activity, you must obtain the Director's
written permission to use this permit prior to submitting a Notice of
Intent. If you are authorized to use this permit, you will be required
to ensure your discharges meet the basic eligibility provisions of this
permit at Part 1.2.
6.AD.2 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Requirements
The Director will establish any additional Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan requirements for your facility at the time of accepting
your Notice of Intent to be covered by this permit. Additional
requirements would be based on the nature of activities at your
facility and your storm water discharges.
6.AD.3 Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
The Director will establish any additional monitoring and reporting
requirements for your facility at the time of accepting your Notice of
Intent to be covered by this permit. Additional requirements would be
based on the nature of activities at your facility and your storm water
discharges.
7. Reporting
7.1 Reporting Results of Monitoring
Depending on the types of monitoring required for your facility,
you may have to submit the results of your monitoring or you may only
have to keep the results
[[Page 64852]]
with your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. You must follow the
reporting requirements and deadlines in Table 7-1 that apply to the
types of monitoring that apply to your facility.
If required by the conditions of the permit that apply to your
facility, you must submit analytical monitoring results obtained from
each outfall associated with industrial activity (or a certification as
per 5.3.1) on a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form (one form must
be submitted for each storm event sampled). An example of a form is
found in the Guidance Manual for the Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements of the NPDES Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit. A
copy of the DMR is also available on the Internet at http://
www.epa.gov/owm/sw/permits-and-forms/index.htm. The signed DMR must be
sent to: MSGP DMR (4203), US EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20460.
Note: If EPA notifies dischargers (either directly, by public
notice or by making information available on the Internet) of other
DMR form options that become available at a later date (e.g.,
electronic submission of forms), you may take advantage of those
options to satisfy the DMR use and submission requirements of Part

an operator:
I certify under penalty of law that all storm water discharges
associated with industrial activity from the identified facility
that authorized by a general permit have been eliminated or that I
am no longer the operator of the facility or construction site. I
understand that by submitting this notice of termination, I am no
longer authorized to discharge storm water associated with
industrial activity under this general permit, and that discharging
pollutants in storm water associated with industrial activity to
waters of the United States is unlawful under the Clean Water Act
where the discharge is not authorized by a NPDES permit. I also
understand that the submittal of this Notice of Termination does not
release an operator from liability for any violations of this permit
or the Clean Water Act.

13.6.2.1 Discharges to Water Quality Impaired/Water Quality
Limited Waters: Any operator who intends to obtain authorization under
the MSGP for all new and existing storm water discharges to water
quality-impaired (303(d)) waters (see http://www.nmenv.state.nm.us/)
from facilities where there is a reasonable potential to contain
pollutants for which the receiving water is impaired must satisfy the
following conditions prior to the authorization. Signature of the NOI
(which includes certifying eligibility for permit coverage) will be
deemed the operator's certification that this eligibility requirement
has been satisfied.
13.6.2.1.1 Prior to submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for
coverage under the MSGP, provide an estimate of pollutant loads in
storm water discharges from the facility to the New Mexico Environment
Department, Surface Water Quality Bureau (SWQB). This estimate must
include the documentation upon which the estimate is based (e.g.,
sampling data from the facility, sampling data from substantially
identical outfalls at similar facilities, modeling, etc.). Existing
facilities must base this estimate on actual analytical data, if
available.
13.6.2.1.2 Eligibility Requirements for New Discharges.
13.6.2.1.2.1 If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been
developed, permit coverage is available only if the operator has
received notice from the SWQB confirming eligibility.
Note: Following receipt of the information required under Part
13.6.2.1.1, SWQB anticipates using the following process in making
eligibility determinations for new discharges into 303(d) waters
where a TMDL has been developed:
SWQB will notify the facility operator and EPA that the
estimated pollutant load is consistent with the TMDL and that the
proposed storm water discharges meet the eligibility requirements of
Part 1.2.3.8 of the MSGP and may be authorized under this NPDES permit;
or
SWQB will notify the facility operator and EPA that the
estimated pollutant load is not consistent with the TMDL and that the
proposed storm water discharges do not meet the eligibility
requirements of Part 1.2.3.8 of the MSGP and can not be authorized
under this NPDES permit.
13.6.2.1.2.2 If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has not been
developed, permit coverage is not available under this permit for
discharges to 303(d) waters and the operator must seek coverage under a
separate permit.
Note: Following receipt of the information required under Part
13.6.2.1.1, SWQB anticipates using the following process in making
eligibility determinations for new discharges into 303(d) waters
where a TMDL has not yet been developed: SWQB will notify the
facility operator and EPA that the proposed storm water discharges
do not meet the eligibility requirements of Part 1.2.3.8 of the MSGP
and can not be authorized under this NPDES permit.
13.6.2.1.3 Eligibility Requirements for Existing Discharges:
13.6.2.1.3.1 If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been
developed, permit coverage is available only if the operator has
received notice from the SWQB confirming eligibility.
Note: Following receipt of the information required under Part
13.6.2.1.1, SWQB anticipates using the following process in making
eligibility determinations for existing discharges into 303(d)
waters where a TMDL has been developed:
SWQB will notify the facility operator and EPA that the
estimated pollutant load is consistent with the TMDL and that the
proposed storm water discharges meet the eligibility requirements of
Part 1.2.3.8 of the MSGP and may be authorized under this NPDES
permit; or
SWQB will notify the facility operator and EPA that the
estimated pollutant load is not consistent with the TMDL and that
the proposed storm water discharges do not meet the eligibility
requirements of Part 1.2.3.8 of the MSGP and can not be authorized
under this NPDES permit.
13.6.2.1.3.2 If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has not been
developed at the time of permit authorization, but is later developed
during the term of this permit and identifies existing permitted
discharges as having a reasonable potential to contain pollutants for
which the receiving water is impaired, these discharges shall no longer
be authorized by this permit unless, following notification by the
SWQP:
The operator completes revisions to his/her Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to include additional and/or modified
Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to comply with any applicable
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) established his/her discharges within 14
calendar days following notification by SWQB; and
The operator implements the additional and/or modified
BMPs before the next anticipated discharge following revision of the
SWPPP; and
A report is submitted to SWQB which documents actions
taken to comply with this condition, including estimated pollutant
loads, within 30 calendar days following implementation of the
additional and/or modified BMPs.
13.6.2.1.4 Additional Monitoring--perform analytical monitoring
for each outfall at least annually for any pollutant(s) for which the
303(d) water is impaired where there is a reasonable potential for
discharges to contain any or all of these pollutants. Submit monitoring
results to SWQB within 45 calendar days following sample collection.
These monitoring requirements are not eligible for any waivers listed
elsewhere in the permit.
13.6.2.2 Permit Eligibility Regarding Protection of Water Quality
Standards and Compliance with State Anti-degradation Requirements:
Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity to 303(d)
waters as well as all other ``waters of the State'' that SWQB has
determined to be or may reasonably be expected to be contributing to a
violation of a water quality standard
[[Page 64859]]
and/or that do not comply with the applicable anti-degradation
provisions of the State's WQS are not authorized by this permit.
Note: Upon receipt of this determination, NMED anticipates that,
within a reasonable period of time, EPA will notify the general
permittee to apply for and obtain an individual NPDES permit for
these discharges per 40 CFR 122.28(b)(3).
13.6.2.3 Signed Copies of discharge monitoring reports, individual
permit applications, the data and reports addressed in Part 13.6.2.1,
and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the
appropriate state office address: New Mexico--Program Manager, Point

Addendum A--Endangered Species Guidance
I. Assessing Permit Eligibility Regarding Endangered Species
A. Background
To meet its obligations under the Clean Water Act and the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to promote those Acts' goals, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking to ensure the
activities regulated by this Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) pose
no jeopardy to endangered and threatened species and critical
habitat. To ensure that those goals are met, applicants for MSGP
coverage are required under Part 1.2.3.6 to assess the impacts of
their storm water discharges, allowable non-storm water discharges,
and discharge-related activities on Federally listed endangered and
threatened species (``listed species'') and designated critical
habitat (``critical habitat'') by following the process listed
below. EPA strongly recommends that you follow these steps at the
earliest possible stage to ensure that measures to protect listed
species and critical habitat are incorporated early in your planning
process.
You also have an independent ESA obligation to ensure that your
activities do not result in any prohibited ``takes'' of listed
species.\1\ Many of the measures required in the MSGP and in these
instructions to protect species may also assist you in ensuring that
your activities do not result in a prohibited take of species in
violation of section 9 of the ESA. If you have or plan activities in
areas that harbor endangered and threatened species, you may wish to
ensure that you are protected from potential takings liability under
ESA section 9 by obtaining an ESA section 10 permit or, if there is
a separate federal action regarding the facility, by requesting
formal consultation under ESA section 7 regarding that action. If
you are not sure whether to pursue a section 10 permit or a section
7 consultation for takings protection, you should confer with the
appropriate Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and/or National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively the ``Services'') office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Section 9 of the ESA prohibits any person from ``taking'' a
listed species (e.g., harassing or harming it) unless: (1) the
taking is authorized through a ``incidental take statement'' as part
of undergoing ESA section 7 formal consultation; (2) where an
incidental take permit is obtained under ESA section 10 (which
requires the development of a habitat conservation plan); or (3)
where otherwise authorized or exempted under the ESA. This
prohibition applies to all entities including private individuals,
businesses, and governments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. How Does The Basic Eligibility Assessment Process Work?
In order to determine if you are eligible to use the permit, you
need to go through a series of steps to determine:
1. Are there any listed endangered or threatened species or
critical habitat in proximity to your facility or the point where
your discharges reach a receiving water?
2. If there are listed species in proximity, are your discharges
or discharge-related activities going to adversely affect them?
3. If adverse effects on listed species or critical habitat are
likely, what can you do to eliminate or reduce these effects?
4. Have any adverse effects already been addressed under the
Endangered Species Act?
5. Which, if any, of the eligibility criteria make you eligible
for permit coverage?
C. What Are the Eligibility Criteria?
The Part 1.2.3.6 eligibility requirement may be satisfied by
documenting that one or more of the following criteria has been met:
Criteria A. No Listed Species or Critical Habitat Are in Proximity
to Your Facility or the Point Where Authorized Discharges Reach a
Water of the United States (See Part 1.2.3.6.3.1)
Using the latest County Species List available from EPA and any
other relevant information sources, you have determined that no
listed species or critical habitat are in proximity to your
facility. Listed species and critical habitat are in proximity to a
facility when they are:
Located in the path or immediate area through which or
over which contaminated point source storm water flows from
industrial activities to the point of discharge into the receiving
water. This may also include areas where storm water from your
facility enters groundwater that has a direct hydrological
connection to a receiving water (e.g., groundwater infiltrates at
your facility and re-emerges to enter a surface waterbody within a
short period of time.)
Located in the immediate vicinity of, or nearby, the
point of discharge into receiving waters.
Located in the area of a facility where storm water
BMPs are planned or are to be constructed.
Please be aware that no protection from incidental takings
liability is provided under this criteria.
Criteria B. An ESA Section 7 Consultation Has Been Performed for a
Separate Federal Action Regarding Your Facility (See Part
1.2.3.6.3.2)
A formal or informal ESA Sec. 7 consultation on a separate
federal action (e.g., New Source review under NEPA, application for
a dredge
[[Page 64863]]
and fill permit under CWA Sec. 404, application for an individual
NPDES permit, etc.) addressed the effects of your discharges and
discharge-related activities on listed species and critical habitat.
If your facility was the subject of a formal consultation, it must
have resulted in either a ``no jeopardy opinion'' or a ``jeopardy
opinion'' and you agree to implement any reasonable and prudent
alternatives or other conditions upon which the consultation was
based. If your facility was the subject of an informal consultation,
it must have resulted in a written concurrence by the Service(s) on
a finding that the applicant's activities are not likely to
adversely affect listed species or critical habitat (for informal
consultation, see 50 CFR 402.13).
Criteria C. An Incidental Taking Permit Under Section 10 of the ESA
was Issued for Your Facility (See Part 1.2.3.6.3.3)
You have a permit under section 10 of the ESA and that
authorization addresses the effects of your wastewater and storm
water discharges and discharge-related activities on listed species
and critical habitat. Note: You must follow FWS/NMFS procedures when
applying for an ESA section 10 permit (see 50 CFR 17.22(b)(1)).
Criteria D. You Have Determined Adverse Effects Are Not Likely (See
Part 1.2.3.6.3.4)
Using best judgment, you have investigated potential effects
your discharges and discharges-related activities may have on listed
species and critical habitat and have no reason to believe there
would be adverse effects. Any terms and/or conditions to protect
listed species and critical habitat you relied on in order to
determine adverse effects would be unlikely must be incorporated
into your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (required by the
permit) and implemented in order to maintain permit eligibility.
Please be aware that no protection from incidental takings
liability is provided under this criteria.
Criteria E. Your Facility Was Covered Under the Eligibility
Certification of Another Operator for the Facility Area (See Part
1.2.3.6.3.5)
Your storm water discharges, allowable non-storm water
discharges, and discharge-related activities were already addressed
in another operator's certification of eligibility under Part
1.2.3.6.3 which covered your facility. By certifying eligibility
under Part 1.2.3.6.3.4, you agree to comply with any measures or
controls upon which the other operator's certification under Part
1.2.3.6.3 was based.
Please be aware that in order to meet the permit eligibility
requirements by relying on another operator's certification of
eligibility, the other operator's certification must apply to the
location of your facility and must address the effects from your
storm water discharges, allowable non-storm water discharges, and
discharge-related activities on listed species and critical habitat.
This situation will typically occur where an ownership of a facility
covered by this permit changes or when there are multiple operators
within an industrial park or an airport. However, before you rely on
another operator's certification, you should carefully review that
certification along with any supporting information. You also need
to confirm that no additional species have been listed or critical
habitat designated in the area of your facility since the other
operator's endangered species assessment was done. If you do not
believe that the other operator's certification provides adequate
coverage for your facility, you should provide your own independent
endangered species assessment and certification.
Please be aware that no protection from incidental takings
liability is provided under this criteria.
D. What Procedures Do I Use To Determine if the Eligibility
Criteria Can Be Satisfied?
Caution: Additional endangered and threatened species have been
listed and critical habit designated since the 1995 MSGP was issued
and will continue to be added after the effective date of this
permit. You must verify any earlier determination of eligibility is
still valid before relying on that assessment to certify eligibility
for this permit. Where applicable, you may incorporate information
from your previous endangered species analysis in your documentation
of eligibility for this permit.
To determine eligibility, you must assess (or have previously
assessed) the potential effects of your storm water discharges,
allowable non-storm water discharges and discharge-related
activities on listed species and critical habitat. PRIOR to
completing and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) form, you must
follow the steps outlined below and document the results of your
eligibility determination.
Step One: Are There Any Endangered Species or Critical Habitat in Your
County (or Other Area) and, if so, Are They in Proximity to Your
Facility or Discharge Locations?
1-A. Check for Listed Species Look in the latest county species
list to see if any listed species are found where your facility and
discharge point(s) are located. If you are located close to the
border of a county or your facility is located in one county and
your discharge points are located in another, you must look under
both counties. Since species are listed and de-listed periodically,
you will need the most current list at the time you are doing your
endangered species assessment. EPA's most current county-species
list is on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/owm/esalst2.htm.
=>Proceed to 1-B.
1-B. Check for Critical Habitat Some (but not all) listed
species have designated critical habitat. Exact locations of such
habitat is provided in the endangered species regulations at 50 CFR
part 17 and part 226. To determine if facility or discharge
locations are within designated critical habitat, you should either:
Review those regulations (which can be found in many
larger libraries); or
Contact the nearest Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office. A list of FWS and
NMFS offices is found at section II of this Addendum.; or
Contact the State Natural Heritage centers. These
centers compile and disseminate information on Federally listed and
other protected species. They frequently have the most current
information on listed species and critical habitat. A list of these
centers is provided in section III of the Addendum.
=>Proceed to 1-C.
1-C. Check for Proximity If there are listed species in your
county, are they in proximity to your facility or discharge
locations? You will need to use the proximity criteria in
Eligibility Criteria A to determine if the listed species are in
your part of the county. The area in proximity to be searched/
surveyed for listed species will vary with the size of the facility,
the nature and quantity of the storm water discharges, and the type
of receiving waters. Given the number of facilities potentially
covered by the MSGP, no specific method to determine whether species
are in proximity is required for permit coverage under the MSGP.
Instead, you should use the method or methods which best allow you
to determine to the best of your knowledge whether species are in
proximity to your particular facility. These methods may include:
Conducting visual inspections. This method may be
particularly suitable for facilities that are smaller in size,
facilities located in non-natural settings such as highly urbanized
areas or industrial parks where there is little or no nature
habitat; and facilities that discharge directly into municipal storm
water collection systems. For other facilities, a visual survey of
the facility site and storm water drainage areas may be insufficient
to determine whether species are likely to be located in proximity
to the discharge.
Contacting the nearest State Wildlife Agency or U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) offices. Many endangered and threatened species are found in
well-defined areas or habitats. That information is frequently known
to state or federal wildlife agencies. FWS has offices in every
state. NMFS has regional offices in: Gloucester, Massachusetts; St.
Petersburg, Florida; Long Beach, California; Portland, Oregon; and
Juneau, Alaska.
Contacting local/regional conservation groups. These
groups inventory species and their locations and maintain lists of
sightings and habitats.
Conducting a formal biological survey. Larger
facilities with extensive storm water discharges may choose to
conduct biological surveys as the most effective way to assess
whether species are located in proximity and whether there are
likely adverse effects.
If neither your facility nor discharge locations are located in
designated critical habitat, then you need not consider impacts to
critical habitat when following Steps Two through Five below. If
your facility or discharge locations are located within critical
habitat, then you must look at impacts to critical habitat when
following Steps Two through Five. EPA notes that many measures
imposed to protect listed species under these
[[Page 64864]]
steps will also protect critical habitat. However, obligations to
protect habitat under this permit are separate from those to protect
listed species. Thus, meeting the eligibility requirements of this
permit may require measures to protect critical habitat that are
separate from those to protect listed species.
=> Proceed to 1-D
1-D. Check for Criteria ``A'' Eligibility IF NO SPECIES WERE
LISTED FOR YOUR COUNTY OR THE SPECIES THAT WERE LISTED WERE NOT IN
PROXIMITY TO YOUR DISCHARGE AND YOUR FACILITY AND DISCHARGE
LOCATIONS WERE NOT IN PROXIMITY TO CRITICAL HABITAT, YOU ARE
ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERIA ``A''. Document your endangered species
assessment and certify eligibility under Part 1.2.3.6.3.1 of the
permit. Congratulations, go to Step Five!
=> If there were listed species or critical habitat, proceed to Step
Two
Step Two: Can You Meet Eligibility Criteria ``B'', ``C'', or ``E''?
2-A Check for Criteria ``B'', ``C'', or ``E'' Basis Do one of
the following apply:
There was a completed consultation under ESA Sec. 7 for
your facility (Criteria B) => proceed to 2-B
There is a previously issued ESA Sec. 10 permit for
your facility (Criteria C) => proceed to 2-C
Another operator previously certified eligibility for
the area where your facility is located (Criteria E) => proceed to
2-D
=> If no, proceed to Step Three
2-B Check for Criteria ``B'' Eligibility Did the previously
completed ESA Sec. 7 consultation consider all currently listed
species and critical habitat and address your storm water, allowable
non-storm water, and discharge related activities?
=> If no, proceed to Step Three
2-B-1 Did the ESA Sec. 7 consultation result in either a ``no
jeopardy'' opinion by the Service (for formal consultations) or a
concurrence by the service that your activities would be ``unlikely
to adversely affect'' listed species or critical habitat?
=> If no, proceed to Step Three
2-B-2 IF YOU AGREE TO IMPLEMENT ANY MEASURES UPON WHICH THE
CONSULTATION WAS CONDITIONED, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERIA ``B''.
Incorporate any necessary measures into your Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan, document your endangered species assessment, and
certify eligibility under Part 1.2.3.6.3.2. Congratulations, go to
Step Five!
=> If you do not agree to implement conditions upon which the
consultation was based, proceed to Step Three
2-C Check for Criteria ``C'' Eligibility IF YOUR ESA Sec. 10
PERMIT CONSIDERED ALL CURRENTLY LISTED SPECIES AND CRITICAL HABITAT
AND ADDRESSES YOUR STORM WATER, ALLOWABLE NON-STORM WATER, AND
DISCHARGE RELATED ACTIVITIES, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERIA ``C''.
Incorporate any necessary measures into your Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan, document your endangered species assessment, and
certify eligibility under Part 1.2.3.6.3.3 of the permit.
Congratulations, go to Step Five!
=> If your ESA Sec. 10 permit did not meet these criteria, proceed to
Step Three
2-D Check for Criteria ``E'' Eligibility Did the other
operator's certification of eligibility consider all currently
listed species and critical habitat and address your storm water,
allowable non-storm water, and discharge related activities?
=> If no, proceed to Step Three
2-D-1 IF YOU AGREE TO IMPLEMENT ANY MEASURES UPON WHICH THE
OTHER OPERATOR'S CERTIFICATION WAS BASED, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER
CRITERIA ``E''. Incorporate any necessary measures into your Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan, document your endangered species
assessment, and certify eligibility under Part 1.2.3.6.3.5 of the
Permit. Congratulations, go to Step Five!
=> If you do not agree to implement conditions upon which another
operator's certification was based, proceed to Step Three
Step Three: Are Listed Species or Critical Habitat Likely To Be
Adversely Affected by Your Facility's Storm Water Discharges, Allowable
Non-storm Water Discharges, or Discharge-related Activities?
If you are unable to certify eligibility under Criteria A, B, C,
or E, you must assess whether your storm water discharges, allowable
non-storm water discharges, and discharge-related activities are
likely to pose jeopardy to listed species or critical habitat.
``Storm water discharge-related activities'' include:
Activities which cause, contribute to, or result in point source
storm water pollutant discharges; and
Measures to control storm water discharges and allowable non-
storm water discharges including the siting, construction, operation
of best management practices (BMPs) to control, reduce or prevent
water pollution.
Effects from storm water discharges, allowable non-storm water
discharges, and discharge-related activities which could pose
jeopardy include:
Hydrological. Wastewater or storm water discharges may cause
siltation, sedimentation or induce other changes in receiving waters
such as temperature, salinity or pH. These effects will vary with
the amount of wastewater or storm water discharged and the volume
and condition of the receiving water. Where a discharge constitutes
a minute portion of the total volume of the receiving water, adverse
hydrological effects are less likely.
Habitat. Excavation, site development, grading, and other
surface disturbance activities, including the installation or
placement of wastewater or storm water ponds or BMPs, may adversely
affect listed species or their habitat. Wastewater or storm water
associated with facility operation may drain or inundate listed
species habitat.
Toxicity. In some cases, pollutants in wastewater or storm water
may have toxic effects on listed species.
The scope of effects to consider will vary with each facility.
If you are having difficulty in determining whether your facility is
likely to pose jeopardy to a listed specie or critical habitat, then
the appropriate office of the FWS, NMFS, or Natural Heritage Center
listed in Sections II and III of this Addendum should be contacted
for assistance.
Document the results of your assessment and make a preliminary
determination on whether or not there would likely be any jeopardy
to listed species or critical habitat. You will need to determine
that your activities are either ``unlikely to adversely affect'' or
``may adversely affect''. Your determination may be based on
measures that you implement to avoid, eliminate, or minimize adverse
affects.
=> Proceed to Step Four
Step Four: Can You Meet Eligibility Criteria ``D''?
Using best judgment, can you determine your facility's storm
water discharges, allowable non-storm water discharges, and
discharge-related activities are unlikely to pose jeopardy to listed
species or critical habitat?
4-A IF STEP THREE DETERMINATION IS ``UNLIKELY TO ADVERSELY
AFFECT'', YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERIA ``D''. Incorporate
appropriate measures upon which your eligibility was based into your
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and certify eligibility under
Part 1.2.3.6.3.4 of the permit. Congratulations, go to Step Five.
=> If there may be adverse effects, proceed to Step 4-B
4-B Step Three (or Step 4-A-1) Determination is ``May Adversely
Affect'' You must contact the Service(s) to discuss your findings
and measures you could implement to avoid, eliminate, or minimize
adverse affects.
4-B-1 IF YOU AND THE SERVICE(S) REACH AGREEMENT ON MEASURES TO
AVOID ADVERSE EFFECTS, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERIA ``D''.
Incorporate appropriate measures upon which your eligibility was
based into your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and certify
eligibility under Part 1.2.3.6.3.4 of the permit. Congratulations,
go to Step Five.
4-C Endangered Species Issues Cannot be Resolved If you cannot
reach agreement with the Service(s) on measures to avoid, eliminate,
or reduce adverse effects to an acceptable level; and if any likely
adverse effects cannot otherwise be addressed through meeting the
other criteria of Part 1.2.3.6; then you are not eligible for
coverage under the MSGP at this time and must seek coverage under an
individual permit. Proceed to 40 CFR 122.26(c) for individual permit
application requirements.
Step Five: Submit Notice of Intent and Document Results of the
Eligibility Determination
Once all other Part 1.2 eligibility requirements have been met,
you may submit the Notice of Intent (NOI). Signature and submittal
of the NOI is also deemed to constitute your certification, under
penalty of law, of your eligibility for permit coverage.
[[Page 64865]]
You must include documentation of Part 1.2.3.6 eligibility in
the pollution prevention plan required for the facility.
Documentation required for the various eligibility criteria are as
follows:
Criteria A--A copy of the County-Species List pages with the
county(ies) where your facility and discharges are located and a
statement on how you determined that no listed species or critical
habitat was in proximity to your discharge.
Criteria B--A copy of the Service(s)'s Biological Opinion or
concurrence on a finding of ``unlikely to adversely effect''
regarding the ESA Sec. 7 consultation.
Criteria C--A copy of the Service(s)'s letter transmitting the ESA
Sec. 10 authorization.
Criteria D--Documentation on how you determined adverse effects on
listed species and critical habitat were unlikely.
Criteria E--A copy of the documents originally used by the other
operator of your facility (or area including your facility) to
satisfy the documentation requirement of Criteria A, B, C or D.
E. Duty To Implement Terms and Conditions Upon Which Eligibility
Was Determined
You must comply with any terms and conditions imposed under the
eligibility requirements of Part 1.2.3.6.3 to ensure that your storm
water discharges, allowable non-storm water discharges, and
discharge-related activities do not pose jeopardy to listed species
and/or critical habitat. You must incorporate such terms and
conditions in your facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
as required by the permit. If the eligibility requirements of Part
1.2.3.6 cannot be met, then you may not receive coverage under this
permit. You should then consider applying to the permitting
authority for an individual permit.

IV. Natural Heritage Centers
The Natural Heritage Network comprises 85 biodiversity data
centers throughout the Western Hemisphere. These centers collect,
organize, and share data relating to endangered and threatened
species and habitat. The network was developed to inform land-use
decisions for developers, corporations, conservationists, and
government agencies and is also consulted for research and
educational purposes. The centers maintain a Natural Heritage
Network Control Server Website (http://www.heritage.tnc.org) which
provides website and other access to a large number of specific
biodiversity centers. Some of these centers are listed below:

Addendum B--Historic Properties Guidance
Applicants must determine whether their facility's storm water
discharges, allowable non-storm water discharges, or construction of
best management practices (BMPs) to control such discharges, has
potential to affect a property that is either listed or eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
For existing dischargers who do not need to construct BMPs for
permit coverage, a simple visual inspection may be sufficient to
determine whether historic properties are affected. However, for
facilities which are new industrial storm water dischargers and for
existing facilities which are planning to construct BMPs for permit
eligibility, applicants should conduct further inquiry to determine
whether historic properties may be affected by the storm water
discharge or BMPs to control the discharge. In such instances,
applicants should first determine whether there are any historic
properties or places listed on the National Register or if any are
eligible for listing on the register (e.g., they are ``eligible for
listing'').
Due to the large number of entities seeking coverage under this
permit and the limited number of personnel available to State and
Tribal Historic Preservation Officers nationwide to respond to
inquiries concerning the location of historic properties, EPA
suggests that applicants first access the ``National Register of
Historic Places'' information listed on the National Park Service's
web page (see Part I of this addendum). Addresses for State Historic
Preservation Officers and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers are
listed in Parts II and III of this addendum, respectively. In
instances where a Tribe does not have a Tribal Historic Preservation
Officer, applicants should contact the appropriate Tribal government
office when responding to this permit eligibility condition.
Applicants may also contact city, county or other local historical
societies for assistance, especially when determining if a place or
property is eligible for listing on the register.
The following three scenarios describe how applicants can meet
the permit eligibility criteria for protection of historic
properties under this permit:
(1) If historic properties are not identified in the path of a
facility's storm water and allowable non-storm water discharges or
where construction activities are planned to install BMPs to control
such discharges (e.g., diversion channels or retention ponds), then
the applicant has met the permit eligibility criteria under Part
1.2.3.7.1.
(2) If historic properties are identified but it is determined
that they will not be affected by the discharges or construction of
BMPs to control the discharge, the applicant has met the permit
eligibility criteria under Part 1.2.3.7.1.
(3) If historic properties are identified in the path of a
facility's storm water and allowable non-storm water discharges or
where construction activities are planned to install BMPs to control
such discharges, and it is determined that there is the potential to
adversely affect the property, the applicant can still meet the
permit eligibility criteria under Part 1.2.3.7.2 if he/she obtains
and complies with a written agreement with the appropriate State or
Tribal Historic Preservation Officer which outlines measures the
applicant will follow to mitigate or prevent those adverse effects.
The contents of such a written agreement must be included in the
facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. The NOI form is
being amended to include which option was selected to demonstrate
compliance with NHPA provisions. EPA will notify applicants when the
new NOI form takes effect.
In situations where an agreement cannot be reached between an
applicant and the State or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
applicants should contact the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation listed in Part IV of this addendum for assistance.
The term ``adverse effects'' includes but is not limited to
damage, deterioration, alteration or destruction of the historic
property or place. EPA encourages applicants to contact the
appropriate State or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer as soon as
possible in the event of a potential adverse effect to a historic
property.
Applicants are reminded that they must comply with applicable
State, Tribal and local laws concerning the protection of historic
properties and places.
I. Internet Information on the National Register of Historic Places
An electronic listing of the ``National Register of Historic
Places,'' as maintained by the National Park Service on its National
Register Information System (NRIS), can be accessed on the Internet
at ``http://www.nr.nps.gov/nrishome.htm''. Remember to use small
case letters when accessing Internet addresses.
