C4.3.3.2. Monitoring. Monitoring of categorical industrial dischargers (including both
sampling and analysis) will be accomplished quarterly and will include all parameters that are
specified in the paragraph of this Chapter dealing with industrial dischargers. Monitoring of
industrial discharges from electroplating operations using cadmium and metal degreasing shall
be accomplished as follows:
C4.3.3.2.1. Electroplating. Daily sampling and monitoring for cadmium and
measurement of the total volume of wastewater discharged and raw cadmium used in the
process. Monitoring of all other parameters (including both sampling and analysis) will be
accomplished quarterly.
C4.3.3.2.2. Metal Degreasing. Daily sampling and monitoring for the chlorinated
solvents listed in C4.3.3.1.11.
C4.3.3.2.3. Samples should be collected at the point of discharge prior to any
mixing with the receiving water. Sampling for total toxic organics (TTO) may not be required if
the commanding officer determines that no discharge of concentrated toxic organics into the
wastewater has occurred and the facility has implemented a TTO management plan (see Table
4.2-b, “Monitoring Requirements.”)
C4.3.4. Storm Water Management. Storm water conveyed to a separate sewer system can
be discharged to soil or shallow subsoil (e.g., dry well) subject to restrictions in C4.3.1.6. The
discharge of storm water directly into groundwater is prohibited.
C4.3.4.1. Plans. Develop and implement storm water pollution prevention (P2) plans
(SWPPP) for activities listed in Table 4.7, “Best Management Practices,” and if applicable Table
4.8 (for Tuscany). Update the SWPPP annually using in-house resources.
C4.3.4.2. Tuscany Region
C4.3.4.2.1. Storm water discharge shall be permitted by Italian authorities. All
permits shall be obtained through the Italian Base Commander.
C4.3.4.2.2. The water from first flush shall be collected and treated separately
whenever the risk of runoff from areas containing hazardous materials is present.
C4.3.4.2.3. Activities listed in Table 4.8 shall apply for a permit by submitting the
SWPPP when requesting a new and/or renewed wastewater discharge permit. Activities not
listed in Table 4.8, if already permitted to discharge other wastewater, shall request a permit for
storm water discharge when renewing the wastewater permit.
C4.3.4.3. Veneto Region
C4.3.4.3.1. Storm water discharges deriving from installations listed in Table 4.9,
and where the following occur, are considered potential sources of pollution:
C4.3.4.3.1.1. Wastes and/or raw materials are stored;
