How to Reduce Stormwater Exceedance Levels at Transfer Stations
The State of California requires industrial facilities to obtain an Industrial Generator Permit and complete a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan annually. Transfer stations, MRF's, landfills are all required to obtain these permits and complete reports. The State requires that these facilities do not pollute the water ways and oceans with waste materials, oils, lead, phosphates, e-coli and bacteria as well as a list of many other contaminants. Culver City's Transfer Station is adjacent to Ballona Creek which flows directly to Santa Monica Bay. Through required sampling, it was determined that our Transfer Station was at a Level 2 Exceedance for polluting the creek and risked the possiblity of huge fines or even a shut down. Culver City constructed a large stormwater Project and reduced the Level 2 Exceedance to Compliance. This workshop is a case study to show participants what it takes to obtain stormwater compliance when waste is our major business.
