Storm Water Mgt. is strictly regulated… it dates back several decades
Federal Clean Water Act of 1972CWA amendments of 1987 required permits for
storm water discharge (Phase I and II).Federal Phase I SW Regulations began 1990
Industrial Sites: certified ISW operator Construction sites over 5 acres: requires SESC plans, weekly
inspections by certified CSW operator Municipalities over 100,000: public education, illicit
connections, maximum extent practicable measures Federal Phase II SW Regulations (1999)
Industrial Sites: about the same as above, certified operator Construction sites 1-5 acres: w/ certified operator Municipalities under 100,000:
Three permit options under Phase II: General permit, Individual permit, or Modification –MS4UM ‘s renewed 2009 Combined Permit (AA, Dearborn
& Flint)UM-Flint’s pool discharge permit
Michigan Env. Protection RegulationsPart 31, Water Resources Protection of NRP Act of 1994
Empowers Director of MDEQ to protect & conserve water resources… adopt, establish/enforce rules, penalties
Prohibits pollution of state’s waters, etc.Part 91, Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control of NRP
Act of 1994 Requires control of soil erosion and sedimentation Permits, SESC plans for “earth Changes” of one acre or more or any “earth
change” within 500 feet of river, lake, stream… Regulated by local, county or state Authorized Public Agency (APA)
Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams (1994) Regulates activities in lakes/streams, requires permit, i.e dredging, SESC,
etcPart 303 Wetland Protection Act (1994)
Protected like other surface water from SW contaminationPart 17, Michigan Environmental Protection Act
Provides for citizens to bring legal action “for conduct that may pollute, impair, or destroy the air, water, or natural resources.”
Part 305 Natural Rivers Act (1970) Regultes activities w/in 400 ft of “Natural River District” … building,
removal of vegitation, land alteration, bridge work…
The “Big Picture” of Storm Water
Discharges
So what does this mean for UM-Flint?* UM-Flint is in the Flint River Watershed * Stop pollutants from entering the Flint River… through storm drains or by runoff directly to the river or ditches that lead to the river* Report illicit discharges & spills immediately to Public Safety/EHS* Always use best management practices at work, home and play* Attend trainings and workshops * Encourage others to do the right thing
UM Ann Arbor has been operating under a UM Ann Arbor has been operating under a “Voluntary” NPDES permit dating back to “Voluntary” NPDES permit dating back to the Federal Phase I (1990’s)the Federal Phase I (1990’s)
Flint and Dearborn were required to comply Flint and Dearborn were required to comply w/ SW Regulations under Phase II by March w/ SW Regulations under Phase II by March 2003.2003.
UM has petitioned MDEQ to include the Flint UM has petitioned MDEQ to include the Flint and Dearborn campuses into the existing and Dearborn campuses into the existing permit… all under “The Regents of UM”.permit… all under “The Regents of UM”.

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)
Plan required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under 40 CFR part 112
UMF SPCC Plan - 2003, rev 2006, rev 2009
PURPOSE:Plan outlines measures to prevent the discharge of OIL into the navigable waters.
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)Definition of OIL – oil of any kind or in any
form, including but not limited to:Petroleumfuel oilsludgeoil refusekitchen greaseanimal fatsoil mixed with wastes
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)Who is Required to Implement a SPCC Plan?A facility that exceeds:
Total UNDERGROUND storage capacity greater than 42,000 gallons or
An aggregate or combined aboveground storage capacity greater than 1,320 gallons, and
Reasonable expectation that a discharge could reach a navigable waterway.
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)What is required of a Facility under the
regulations?1. A written plan certified by a Professional
Engineer (PE) every 3 years.2. Oil storage management and control3. U-M Facility Personnel involvement

SPCC Plan RequirementsOil Storage Management and ControlLighting
Per the EPA, as long as the oil storage area is accessible with a flashlight, this is considered adequate lighting.
Security To assist in preventing spill or release from being caused by accidental or unknown entry or vandalism.
Fenced area PadlocksSecurity guards Stored inside building
SPCC Plan RequirementsOil Storage Management and ControlSecondary ContainmentSecondary containment is required for OIL
containers with the capacity of 55 gallons or greater and is to prevent any spills from any leaking or damaged containers.
The secondary containment must have the capacity to hold the volume of the largest container or 10% of the combined containers, whichever larger. If room has no floor drains, then the room itself may
be considered sufficient secondary containment. If the room is considered the secondary containment ensure there is a lip at the door so no liquids can exit the room in the event of a leak.
Secondary Containment
SPCC Plan RequirementsOil Storage Management and ControlFuel Catchment
The SPCC plan requires catchment to be in place during refueling operations from a tanker truck to an aboveground or underground storage tank that will hold the capacity of the largest inner single compartment of the delivery truck.
Fuel Catchment
SPCC Plan RequirementsUM-Flint Personnel InvolvementContainer Inspections
Monthly and quarterly inspectionsTrained oil-handling personnel should perform the routine
inspections. OSEH & EHS provides assistance to the Facility Managers and Supervisors by explaining the environmental regulatory requirement and therefore relies on the FM and Supervisors to ensure the routine inspections are being performed on time.

Due Care Regulatory Requirements:
ENVIRONMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL DUE CARE DUE CARE
AT AT UM-FLINTUM-FLINT
Due Care Regulatory Requirements:UM-Flint is subject to due care obligations for all activities
that may disturb the soil/earth i.e. construction, maintenance, subsurface activities at the following properties: WSW Building and surrounding areas including former Horse Barn Former Perry Printing Site Parking Lot A and all surrounding areas (CE/MGP) Hubbard Compound Northbank Center, NBC Parking Ramp and surrounding areas Proposed Student Hosing Site and surrounding areas
The properties are classified as a “facility” (Part 201 of Act 451) because contamination has been detected in soil and/or groundwater at concentrations exceeding generic residential cleanup criteria.
UM and its contractors have legally enforceable responsibilities for ensuring that: Its actions do not exacerbate existing contamination The intended use of the property will not result in unacceptable exposures to
hazardous substances It takes reasonable precautions with regard to acts or omissions of third parties.
These requirements are a result of previous existing environmental site conditions that existed prior to UM acquiring the property.

Soil Erosion &Sedimentation Control (SESC)
UM applied for Authorized Public Agency (APA) status for Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control (SESC) June 2003…granted APA status from MDEQ effective 9/22/04
The City of Flint and Genesee County will no longer issue SESC permits or conduct inspections for sites owned by the University;
UM-Flint EHS, UM OSEH-EM, and the UM Planning Office will now review SESC plans for sites involving earth activity >1 acre or within 500 feet of water bodies.
Plans must be approved before any earth change activities begin (demolition, grading, clearing, tree removal, etc.).
SESC plans are not required for project sites <1 acre or greater than 500 feet from water bodies (Flint River) but notification to EHS must be made prior to beginning and most importantly, all SESC regulatory requirements and protective measures must be followed, no matter the size of the project..
SESC ExemptionsEarth disturbances that are completed/closed
within 24 hours Earth disturbances that are less than 225 sq.
ft. (otherwise approx. 15’ X 15’ area) Both exemptions are important to the Flint
Campus because the majority of our earth disturbances will be simple landscaping, tree planting, sidewalk install/repair, or utility related projects that would be either completed w/in 24 hours or less than the 225 sq.ft exemption.
Project Managers must evaluate All activities employ the appropriate Best Management Practices or BMPs to protect the river and “Waters of the State”… storm drains.
Submit SESC Plans to EHS… Project managers must compile/forward four (4)
completed copies of SESC plans for review/approval. One copy to EHS Department (204 UPAV) Two copies to UM OSEH-EM Environmental Specialist / SESC Inspector
Occupational Safety & Environmental Health - University of Michigan 1239 Kipke Drive , Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1010
Please allow 45 days for review and comments on plans.After EHS, OSEH-EM and University Planning have
completed their review UM OSEH-EM will issue final approval of SESC plans for Flint projects >1 acre and/or within 500 feet of river.
Approved plans will be stamped accordingly, one set will be retained by OSEH-EM and one set will be kept at the site.
Weekly inspections and inspections after significant rain events for all sites involving earth activities must be conducted & documented.
For large projects, inspections may be contracted out with the approval/coordination of EHS/OSEH. This could be an additional cost to the project.
