Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for Construction

Storm water discharges from the Pueblo Chemical Depot and Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant are regulated by the US EPA's Office of Wastewater Management National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program.  Under this program, a Notice of Intent to obtain coverage under the EPA's General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities was filed. This general permit requires preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. This plan and the EPA's Storm Water Construction General Permit establish the specific requirements for management of storm water at the Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant.

The purpose of the plan is to describe the storm water management plan for the Pilot Plant's construction activities. Best Management Practices have been established to meet storm water compliance requirements and to identify, reduce, eliminate, or prevent unauthorized materials from being introduced to the storm water system and the environment. These measures also apply for related construction activities taking place outside the Pilot Plant, such as borrow pits and access roads.
