6 1. Executive Summary The quality of the storm water runoff of the University of Puerto Mayaguez Campus (referred from now on as UPRM ) can be impacted by the operations of these facilities. The goal of the is to develop and implement a system to minimize the impact of its operations on the quality of the storm water runoff. This system includes educational, outreach and public participation activities, illicit discharge identification and elimination, runoff control for new and existing construction, and a pollution prevention & good housekeeping program for UPRM. The Storm Water Program will be implemented over a 5 year period. The educational, outreach and public activities will start from year 1 ( ) and will be developed and refined over a three year period. The educational activities will include printed materials, online materials (made available on the UPRM website), conferences and seminars. Outreach will include storm water system cleaning and pollution prevention activities (such as the collection of used electronic equipment). Public participation will be addressed by the creation of an UPRM Storm Water Group where members of the general public can participate in the planning of management activities. The illicit discharge (identification and correction) will be implemented over a 5 year period, where the UPRM Campus will be divided in 7 geographical areas (or phases). Phase I will start in year 1, phases II and III will start in year 2, phases IV and V will start in year 3 and phases VI and VII will start in year 4. It is expected that 90% of the illicit discharges be eliminated by year 5 (2011). During this 5 year period, all of the existing 54 buildings will be evaluated for the presence of illicit discharges, improvement plans will be developed and deployed, and the runoff will be visually evaluated to determine the success of these measures. Programs for new and existing construction will be developed, implemented, and refined over a 4 year period. All new construction projects will have to implement runoff control systems as part of the contractual obligations. The Pollution & Good Housekeeping Program will be implemented by developing training materials and standard operating procedures for the UPRM community so that all activities can be carried out with a minimal impact to the quality of storm water runoff. 6

7 The is sponsored by the Office of the UPRM Chancellor (the executive sponsor) and will be managed by Eng. Wilson Ortiz from Physical Plant. The program will be developed and implemented with the assistance of the Environment, Health and Safety, the and the Office of the Administrative Affairs (the project sponsor). 7

8 2. Introduction - Storm Water Phase II In order to satisfy the water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act, the UPRM is developing and submitting a Storm Water Program ( SWMP ) to the EPA for its approval. Polluted storm water runoff is often transported to municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and ultimately discharged into local rivers and streams without treatment. EPA s Storm Water Phase II Rule establishes an MS4s storm water management program that is intended to improve the Nation s waterways by reducing the quantity of pollutants that storm water picks up and carries into storm sewer systems during storm events. Common pollutants include oil and grease from roadways, pesticides from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and carelessly discarded trash, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles. When deposited into nearby waterways through MS4s discharges, these pollutants can impair the waterways, thereby discouraging recreational use of the resource, contaminating drinking water supplies, and interfering with the habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife. In 1990, EPA promulgated rules establishing Phase I of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water program. The Phase I program for MS4s requires operators of medium and large MS4s, that is, those that generally serve populations of 100,000 or greater, to implement a storm water management program as a means to control polluted discharges from these MS4s. The Storm Water Phase II Rule extends coverage of the NPDES storm water program to certain small MS4s but takes a slightly different approach to how the storm water management program is developed and implemented. What Is a Phase II Small MS4s? A small MS4s is any MS4s not already covered by the Phase I program as a medium or large MS4s. The Phase II Rule automatically covers on a nationwide basis all small MS4s located in urbanized areas (UAs) as defined by the Bureau of the Census (unless waived by the NPDES permitting authority), and on a case-by-case basis those small MS4s located outside of UAs that the NPDES permitting authority designates. What Are the Phase II Small MS4s Program Requirements? Operators of regulated small MS4s are required to design their programs to: Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP); Protect water quality; and Satisfy the appropriate water quality 8

9 requirements of the Clean Water Act. Implementation of the MEP standard will typically require the development and implementation of BMPs and the achievement of measurable goals to satisfy each of the six minimum control measures. The Phase II Rule defines a small MS4s storm water management program as a program comprising six elements that, when implemented in concert, are expected to result in significant reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving bodies of water. The six MS4 program elements, named minimum control measures, are outlined below. Program Element Motivation Objective description i. Public Education and Outreach An educated community can be more effective in improving /preventing storm water runoff problems. The objective of this component is to develop and implement initiatives for increasing the knowledge of the community. Distribute educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about the impacts that polluted storm water runoff discharges can have on water quality. ii. Public Involvement/ Participation The community is an important stakeholder in issues related to pollution created by storm water runoff. The objective of this component is to develop and implement methods that allow the community to voice their concerns and participate in the decision making process Providing opportunities for citizens to participate in program development and implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or encouraging citizen representatives on a storm water management panel. iii. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Illicit water discharges are one of the main reasons storm water gets polluted. The objective of this component is to evaluate the facilities to identify sources of illicit discharges and design/implement a plan for eliminating them. Developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system (includes developing a system map and informing the Community about hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste). 9

10 iv. Construction Site Runoff Control Construction sites can create significant pollutants that will be transported by storm water runoff The objective of this component is to develop and implement plans to prevent /manage pollution generated by construction activities Developing, implementing, and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land. v. Post- Construction Runoff Control When a construction is completed, the landscape is modified. These changes impact the ability of the site to manage storm water runoff, sometimes in a detrimental manner. The objective of this component is to develop and implement programs that evaluate and manage the storm water runoff of areas where construction has been completed. Developing, implementing, and enforcing a program to address discharges of Post-construction storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment areas. Applicable controls could include preventive actions such as protecting sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) or the use of structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous pavement. vi. Pollution Prevention/ Good Housekeeping The activities carried out at a site can generate pollutants that can be transported by the storm water runoff. The objective of this component is to make sure that the activities at the site that can generate pollution are managed in an environmentally friendly way Developing and implementing a program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from campus operations. The program must include campus staff training on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g., regular street sweeping, reduction in the use of pesticides, or frequent catch-basin cleaning) Regulatory Background This SWMP is required under the Protection Agency General Permit for 10

11 Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems ( MS4s ) that became effective in Puerto Rico on 6, A copy of the MS4s NPDES Permit is included as Appendix A to this document. The referenced permit requires UPRM to file a Notice of Intent ( NOI ) to apply for permit coverage and development and submittal of a SWMP. A copy of the NOI submitted by the UPRM to the EPA on February 5, is included as Appendix B to this document. Polluted storm water runoff is often transported to separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and ultimately discharged into local waterways (rivers, creeks and bays) without treatment. EPA s Storm Water Phase II Rule establishes an MS4s storm water management program that is intended to improve the waterways by reducing the quantity of pollutants that storm water picks up and carries into storm sewer systems during storm events. Common pollutants include oil and grease from roadways and parking lots, pesticides from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and carelessly discarded trash, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers and plastic bottles. These pollutants are deposited into nearby waterways, use of the resource, and interfering with the habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife. In 1990, EPA promulgated rules establishing Phase I of the NPDES storm water program. The Phase I program for MS4s requires operators of medium and large MS4s, that is, those that generally serve populations of 100,000 or greater, to implement a storm water management program as a means to control polluted discharges from these MS4s. The Storm Water Phase II Rule extends coverage of the NPDES storm water program to certain small MS4s but takes a slightly different and simplified approach to how the storm water management program is developed and implemented. NPDES Phase II regulations require operators of small MS4s to develop a program in order to: Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP); Protect water quality; and Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. 2.2 Purpose of the SWMP This document has been developed pursuant to Section 4 of the 11

12 Protection Agency Small MS4s NPDES General Permit No. PRR The purpose of the SWMP is: i. To comply with the requirements of the Small MS4s General Permit applicable to Puerto Rico, Permit No. PRR ii. To identify pollutant sources potentially affecting the quality and quantity of storm water discharges. iii. To provide Best Practices (BMPs) for activities implemented by UPRM staff and contractors. iv. Provide measurable goals for the implementation of this SWMP to reduce the discharge of the identified pollutants into the storm drain system and associated water ways. This SWMP covers the UPRM s main campus facilities situated in urban areas UPRM SWMP Development and Implementation Committee In accordance with Part of the General Permit, the UPRM has designated a committee to develop and implement the SWMP. The committee is composed of representatives from various campus departments, including the Health & Safety ( EHS ) Office; Design & Construction- Office of Institutional Research and Planning ( OIIP ); Physical Plant-Buildings and Ground Department ( B&GD ); Office of Dean Administration and the Chancellor s Office. The committee has designated Eng. Wilson Ortiz as the SWMP Manager. The SWMP campus committee members ranged from departmental directors to operations personnel, as follows: Office Chancellor Office Office of Dean Administration Design & Construction Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIIP) Health & Safety (EHS) Physical Plant Buildings and Ground Department (B&GD) SWMP Program Manager Person Jorge Vélez-Arocho, Ph.D., Chancellor Wilma Santiago-Gabriellini, Administrative Affairs Antonio González-Quevedo, PhD., Director of OIIP Roberto Torres, Director EHS Roberto Ayala, PE, Director Physical Plant Wilson Ortiz, PE, 12

13 The complete UPRM Organizational Chart is shown in Appendix C. NPDES PRR Site Information 3.1 Facility Description UPRM is one of eleven (11) campuses that make up the public higher education system of Puerto Rico. The university is overseen by a Board of Trustees and is headed by a President. Each campus has a Chancellor, which is the person responsible for all affairs on campus. UPRM is an internationally recognized public teaching and research institution. There are over 40 structures located within the Mayaguez Campus. The Campus comprises the Colleges of Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Agriculture, and Business Administration. The Campus is located east of State Highway 2, and is generally bounded by State Road # 108 to the east, State Highway 2 and Post Street to the west, The Alzamora Farm to the north, and Post Street to the south. (See attached Campus plan in Figure 1). The current UPRM population, which includes students, faculty, and staff, is approximately 15,000. The estimated growth rate of the UPRM population for the next ten years is less than 7%. The illicit discharge detection and elimination part of the SWMP will be implemented in 7 Phases (which are shown in the maps included as Appendices to this document). Each Phase comprises a section of the UPRM Campus. More information of the development phases is included in section Operation UPRM employs maintenance and grounds staff for day to day operations. This includes building maintenance (cleaning, painting, repairs), completion of department work requests, daily cleaning of common buildings, grounds maintenance, small construction jobs, and various repair and maintenance activities. Physical Plant is responsible for all electrical system repairs, plumbing, roofing, asphalt repairs, building painting, sewer line cleaning, utility repairs, vehicle repairs, pool maintenance and janitorial duties. 13

15 3.3 Facility Contribution/Impact on Storm Water Storm water from the campus (including precipitation collected by roof drains) is discharged through several means including infiltration through pervious surfaces and vegetation, catch basins that are connected to on-site storm drain systems, and directly to the on-site storm or municipal drain systems. The on-site storm water drain system either discharges into to the municipal storm drain system that eventually discharges into the Río Yaguez (a small portion of UPRM premises) or discharges into Quebrada del Oro. Storm water discharges from the Alzamora Farm are through infiltration in a pervious surface and vegetated area, through two unnamed creeks located east and west of the farm or through the municipal storm drain system. The Quebrada del Oro, the Rio Yaguez and all the unnamed creeks eventually discharge into the Caribbean Sea. Figures 2 and 3 show the Mayaguez Urbanized Area Storm Water Entities. Figure 2.- Mayaguez, Puerto Rico Urbanized Area Storm Water Entities. 15

Minimum Control Measures Action Plan 4.1. What are Minimum Control Measures, MEP, and BMPs Minimum Control Measures is the term used by the EPA for the six MS4S program elements aimed at achieving improved water quality through NPDES Small MS4s Permit requirements listed below: 1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts 17

18 2. Public Involvement / Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control 5. Post-construction Storm Water in New Development and Redevelopment 6. Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping The goal of the SWMP is to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP), as defined by the EPA, and to identify activities or structural improvements that help reduce the quantity and improve the quality of the storm water runoff. BMPs include treatment controls, engineering controls, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spills and leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage. BMPs will be updated as appropriate to comply with any additions or changes to NPDES permit requirements. 4.2 How to use BMPs to Meet MEP Requirements The BMPs described in this document in the measurable goals section are to be implemented by the UPRM staff and outside contractors. Whenever UPRM staff or contractors perform work on the campus or associated areas, steps outlined in each relevant BMP, or other proven technique that reaches the same goal, must be used in order to ensure compliance with storm water discharge regulations. UPRM has already initiated many of the BMPs listed in the Minimum Control Measures in this SWMP. In some cases the measure has not been formalized into a written plan or program. The SWMP will formalize and document these Minimum Control measures and associated BMPs. Full development and implementation of BMPs will be completed through the five-year implementation plan as presented in the measurable goals for each Minimum Control Measure in the following sections. 4.3 Minimum Control Measures This section explains the UPRM Action Plan to develop and implement the minimum control measures for achieving the six MS4s program elements. 18

19 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts Every day household activities can impact the quality of storm water runoff, and a considerable portion of the population are not fully aware how their actions can impact the environment. An educated community can be more effective in improving /preventing storm water runoff problems. The objective of this minimum control measure is to develop and distribute educational materials and perform outreach to inform students, faculty, and staff about the impact of polluted storm water runoff discharges, and that their actions can make a positive impact on water quality (see, Appendix E) Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) Standards The main activity of this component is to implement a public education program that will develop/disseminate educational materials to the community, or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of storm water discharges on local water bodies and the steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution (see, Appendix F for sample of Outreach Activity promotional material). The activities of this component will be directed at developing, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the storm water runoff educational and outreach program. The major deliverables of this component of the action plan are Table 4.3.1md - Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Major Deliverables Major deliverable What it IS What it IS Not Completion Criteria Due Date I.

The Phase II Final Rule requirements offer some general guidance on how to satisfy them. The small MS4s operator has a great deal of flexibility in choosing exactly how to satisfy the minimum control measure requirements. Recognizing the adverse effects illicit discharges can have on receiving waters, the Phase II Final Rule requires that an operator of a regulated small MS4s to develop, implement and enforce an illicit discharge detection and elimination program. The objective of this minimum control measure is to develop and implement a plan to detect and eliminate non-allowable non storm water discharges (illicit discharges) such as process water, wash water with detergents, chemical spills, and other non-rainwater discharges to the storm drain system that are not specifically allowed in Part 1.4 of the permit.

29 The Storm Sewer System Map The storm sewer system map is meant to demonstrate a basic awareness of the intake and discharge areas of the system. It is needed to help determine the extent of dry weather flows and if they are allowed pursuant to Part 1.4 of the permit, the possible sources of the dry weather flows, and the particular bodies of water these flows may be affecting. An existing map, such as a topographical map, on which the location of major pipes and outfalls can be clearly demonstrated, may serve as a tool to gain such awareness. EPA recommends collecting all existing information on outfall locations (e.g., review city records, drainage maps, storm drain maps), and then conducting field surveys to verify locations. It will probably be necessary to walk (i.e., wade through small receiving waters) the stream banks and shorelines for visual observation. More than one trip may be needed to locate all outfalls. UPR Mayaguez Phases UPRM Campus is quite large, and in order to be able to do a complete and thorough job of eliminating illicit discharges, the work on campus will be done in phases (see, Appendix H for a map of the UPRM Phases). The seven phases have been defined based on the possibility of problems with illicit discharges, where Phase I is the area of highest probability. Over 70% of the work for each phase (or stage) is programmed to be completed (on its way to be completed) according to the following schedule: Phase Work completed Phase I 2008 Phase II and Phase III Phase IV and Phase V 2010 Phase VI and Phase VII 2011 Allowable Non Storm Water Discharges The following allowable non-storm water discharges will not be managed by the program unless they become significant contributors of pollutants to the UPR Mayaguez MS4s as provided in Section 1.4 of the MS4s General Permit: 1. Water line flushing 2. Landscape irrigation 3. Diverted stream flows 4. Rising ground waters 29
