TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. DavisP.E., <br />Public Works Directo <br />SUBJECT: NPDES Group, Stormwater <br />Application for Industrial Facilities <br />RE: Memo Jim Shipman, President of FACO, to <br />County Administrators dated June 14, 1991 <br />DATE: July 1, 1991 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Environmental Protection Agency's new stormwater <br />regulations require owners of industrial facilities <br />(including open or closed landfills, vehicle maintenance and <br />repair shops, and sewage treatment plants over 1.0 MGD,) to <br />file a Stormwater Permit Application by September 30, 1991. <br />FACO is sponsoring a "Group Application" for local <br />governments in Florida. This group approach requires only <br />10% of the facilities to be sampled for stormwater <br />pollutants instead of 50-100% if a facility does not <br />participate in a group application. Indian River County has <br />three Fleet Management facilities (including the Sheriff's <br />facility and the landfill's shop), three landfills (one <br />open, two closed), and three Wastewater Treatment Plants <br />that will soon be over 1 MGD. The various cities, school <br />districts, and other governmental agencies may also want to <br />participate in the Group Application. A savings of as much <br />as $10,000. per facility could result by joining the <br />"Group". <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Since there is a direct cost savings by participating in the <br />program, staff has identified the following alternatives. <br />Alternative No 1 <br />Authorize the Public Works Director to be the <br />County contact person for all local governments in <br />the County. Also, the County would join the FACO <br />Group and include the nine facilities in the <br />"Group EPA Application". The estimated cost for <br />the Part 1 Application Phase would be $600.00 per <br />facility or $5,400.00 total. The estimated cost <br />for the Part 2 application is $1,000 -13,000 per <br />facility or $21,000.00 for all nine facilities. <br />Funding would be from the responsible County <br />Department (three from Solid Waste, three from <br />Utilities, and three from the various Fleet <br />Maintenance Divisions). <br />Alternative No 2 <br />Do not join the group. Estimated cost would be <br />$9,000.00 for Part 1 ($1,000.00 per facility) and <br />$20,000 - $25,000 per facility for Part 2 <br />application. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Alternative No 1 is recommended. Since various Departments <br />are responsible, each individual Department would recommend <br />funding at a latter date. <br />19 C 4-4 - <br />BOOK,J PA�c <br />J U L 91991 <br />L <br />
