The Benchmark Monitoring Data Analyses have a deadline of March
31, 2008. Results of data analyses are to be submitted using the
form Report of Benchmark Monitoring Data for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity under
the TPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (TXR050000) (TCEQ-20091)
(PDF). (Help with PDF.)
* Note that not all sectors are
required to conduct benchmark monitoring. Those sectors which are
required to conduct benchmark monitoring are listed in Part IV
Section B of the Multi-Sector Industrial General Permit for Storm
Water (TXR050000).
What am I supposed to submit?
For those sectors required to conduct benchmark monitoring:
-
Semi-annual sampling must be conducted at least once during the
first full monitoring period (January through June or July through
December) following permit issuance, and then once during each
monitoring period for the term of the general permit.
-
Results of analyses for sampling shall be submitted to the TCEQ
before March 31st of each year.
-
The reported values shall be the average yearly result of
analysis for each specific pollutant discharged under a specific
SIC code, rather than an outfall-by-outfall basis.
Instructions are provided on the data reporting form (TCEQ-20091). The completed form(s)
must be submitted to:
| Texas Commission on Environmental Quality |
| Storm Water and Pretreatment Team MC-148 |
