February Edition we'll post a link to the website where you can find those presentations toward the end of today's session if anyone has any questions at this time please feel free to to type them into chat but without further Ado we will play the very short webinar series welcome presentation good afternoon and Welcome to our 2024 storm waterer quality webinar series we always enjoy providing opportunities for everyone to learn how to help keep our local waterways clean remember we are all Downstream from someone else so let's work together to protect the waterways in our communities this year's Series has several great presentations planned you will have the opportunity to hear from some of our own stormwater quality staff as well as select guest speakers we hope to see you for each session so be sure to tune in during today's session we will be hearing from Matt waras with the Department of Environmental Quality providing his presentation on tier 2 chemical storage and Anthony Hamilton with Envirotech engineering and Consulting providing his presentation on ok5 permit overview and updates as we've already mentioned each of the presentations should be available online within a week or so after the presentation has aired live the links will be posted on the workshop's page of our stormwater quality website we'll put a direct link to that page in a chat towards the end of today's session we also offer an excellent lunch and learn series the next in-person event is scheduled for March 27th with old castle infrastructure if you are interested in attending please use the

originally scheduled this webinar with Anthony he was with DEQ however he has since accepted a position with Envirotech engineering and Consulting as a project engineer so contct so congratulations to Anthony however because of his new role Anthony is unable to be with us today so he has provided us with a recording of his presentation that we will share now to introduce our speakers Matt wmas is an environmental program specialist in the chemical reporting and preparedness section at the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality he has been at DEQ for 10 years nine of those in his current section he also serves as the chair of odex GIS subcommittee a member of the Oklahoma geographic information Council and the chair of the Oklahoma hazardous materials emergency response commission Anthony Hamilton PE graduated from the Classon of school of Advance studies in 2013 with an international baket diploma he then attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering on graduation he was hired by the the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality as a district engineer for the industrial Wastewater and storm water enforcement section and spent 6 and a half years in that role conducting inspections evaluating and enforcing on Industrial Wastewater and storm water facilities and then in 2022 he assumed construction storm water enforcement duties Anthony registered as an engineer intern in 2020 and became a licensed professional engineer in the state of Oklahoma in June of 23 with an emphasis in environmental engineering in February of 2024 Anthony accepted a new position with an Envirotech engineering and Consulting as a project engineer and his free his free time is consumed by his wife and two daughters all right again if anyone has any questions during today's presentation be sure to type them into chat Matt you are now free to share your screen and begin your presentation oh right can everyone see the screen right now yes sir I can awesome all right just want to make sure uh first off I want you know thank uh Jordan and Holly for uh in inviting me today to talk about my program a little bit uh this isn't normally a uh a uh uh group that we do these presentations to so with that I'm I'm very excited to start talking about about our our uh program here here at the EQ and and just explaining to you all what we do in our little section here and uh uh ways ways that we keep not only Oklahoma City uh safe but as well as the uh First Responders from Oklahoma City as well as as well as as the general public so um I'll be talking today about our our uh program specifically called tier 2 reporting but I'm also just because it is a new group for me I'm I'm going you know talk a little bit about um uh the history behind this this reporting program as well as why it it exists too so uh that so um uh the program I I work with is is is is called the chemical reporting and preparedness section and the main Federal rules that we uh help regulate here in Oklahoma is a program called epcra the emergency planning Community right right to know Act and the reason we have Abra is because of what happened in and B bual India back on December 2nd 1984 um so overnight uh ball India was a town in India that that backed up backed up to a uh large in in industrial park that was at the time producing um pesticide and one night they had a spill of 40 um yeah 40 tons of metho metho isos gas and uh because of this gas um over 500,000 people were exposed uh thousands died that night and thousands have died since due due due due thousands died since due to um The Spill right here so when it happened back in 19884 the USA uh EP at the time was looking at the rule and uh was looking over this spill and decided all right this is India this will never happen here in in in the United States but let's just uh keep watch over it and if something does happen then then then we can make some changes um what did happen was in Institute West Virginia on August 11th 1985 a smaller um spill chemical release of methylene chloride and Al alicar oxine uh were uh spilled at that time uh it's luckily uh it wasn't near Asad is Ball but six were uh injured and sick due to the um spill and after that the EPA decided that this is time we take into account of what's what chemicals are being stored in our in our communities that we're not caught blind during during these sorts of situations so um after a year on October 17 1986 Abra like said the emergency planning Community right to know Act was officially signed in signed in signed in into law to get it passed they actually tacked it on to the very back of the super fund act so sometimes you also see this called Sarah title 3 because it's technically the Third Amendment of the super fund act so but but U when this uh law was passed um it established five main things we cover here in uh the state of Oklahoma first it uh set up the uh for every state a state emergency response commission and every state was allowed to make that whatever they wanted to so here here in Oklahoma uh we now call that the theork the Oklahoma hazardous materials the emergency response emergency response commission that's and that's made up of um First Responders and Industry folks as well as DEQ uh the fire chief uh H Highway Patrol and uh office of emergency management are all involved in this uh commission just basically talk talk you know talk about Hazmat situation ations within Oklahoma as but overall as well as the as as emergency response um as as as the overmarking uh goal goal of this commission it it also established what we call local emergency planning committees and uh so when Oklahoma set up the rules of EP they decided to Define that every County was going to have one of these local emergency local emergency planning committees and right now in Oklahoma we have 76 of 77 counties have an active LEC within their counties and and again these are made up of more local Partners so you'll have uh local businesses uh that are storing Haz just materials for hazmat but you also have your local emergency managers you'll have your fire departments your fire chiefs your police officers your emergency managers um anyone that's involved in these um emergency situations are all now involved in these committees that meet together just to kind of talk talk about planning purposes and again the the worst time to meet someone is during an actual event so this allows people to do uh you know get to know the people that not only own uh the places that could be uh causing hazards into into into their Community but also those that will be responding to these hazards as as well too um it also set up our spill reporting rules in Oklahoma so so many time that there's a large spill all those after action plans are sent to the DEQ for records too um it established another Federal rule called The Toxic release in inventory and then finally what all kind of focus on uh today too the overall tier 2 reporting program which takes up the good chunk of my my time here at DEQ so the tier two reporting program it is an annual reporting program that's uh to establish a database of hazardous chemicals within the state of Oklahoma um now now now this is only for materials that are defined as Haz hazardous on their safety data sheet there's no overmarking list of oh these are hazardous these are not hazardous these are tier two chemicals um when when you look at your safe safety data sheet now there's there's actually a regulatory section and on those sheets it'll pop up again we talked about how how this EPA rule is also called Sarah title 3 it'll pop up sah title 3 and and at that point it'll tell you um if the chemical is defined as hazardous by the by OSHA standards so uh these are uh facilities across the state that are storing these hazardous materials and they have to be over a reporting threshold so now for most for most things in in the state that's going to be 10,000 lbs um but for some materials um that the EPA is defined as being extremely ha hazardous they actually have a lower threat threshold so so some of these lower threshold chemicals could be your chlorine your anhydr ammonia your sulfuric acid uh just the real nasty stuff that's stored in our in in our in our communities the reason it's a lower threshold is because those pose higher risks of uh safety so so it's it's a way to get those down um too and then like I said this is an an this is an an an annual report so all these reports are due by March 1st of every year so this is my busy time of helping uh companies submit submit submit their reports um and uh so the r real nice thing is uh is when the rule was established uh it gave guidance for overall uh rules so like like just you know we talked about like the threshold rules what's reported to but then the process of that it was left completely up to to the state so so technically in the rules you're supposed to file the same report three different times uh you're supposed to file with the state of Oklahoma you're supposed to file the report with your County LEC and then also the closest fire department to your facility uh we found out that that wasn't really happening here in here in Oklahoma so we actually set up a system where everyone just submits the report to us at the DEQ my um my section here and then we take on the burden of responsibility of dispersing the data to the county l lapcs so so again that's why we try to keep them as active as we can because we have contacts in all those counties so that we can send this data down down to them so that they have it and then they can once they have it then they can disperse it to the First Responders the emergency managers the Fire Chiefs and the Hazmat teams within their jurisdiction uh it's one of those things where it's great that we have the reports here here at the DEQ in the state state of Oklahoma but the purpose of this report was to keep uh communities and First Responders um safe of this data so we just want to make sure that the data that we have gets dispersed down to the people that truly need these uh reports and like I said in other states so like if if if you have a facility that submits in Oklahoma Texas and Kansas Oklahoma you follow at once with me and Texas and Kansas you're filing that same same report to uh the state the lapc and the fire Department too so this is what the current tier 2 map looks like right right now um this is actually on on our website and I will show you where this is located on our website um so like I said this is our reporting time right now so um I get these reports all day every day from January 2nd until March March 1st so EV every Monday I update this GIS map right here too that basically allows two purposes one it allows the facility to know if it's on this map that I have their report but it also kind of helps out because this is a data for the community that um a uh citizen of Oklahoma can also access this map too to find out what potential hazards are stored in their in their in their Community because again uh the purpose it's the community right to know so if you're located near one of these places too you can actually submit a request to me at the DEQ and I will give you a copy of that facility's uh tier 2 report it'll basically tell you what chemicals are stored there and a con and a contact person it won't tell you uh where or any you know any quantities of that too it just say you know you're located next to this place this is the chemicals I have if you have any questions this is the contact person so that you can better prepare the safety for your uh personal living and it's so so it's so it's one of those things where we get these all the time uh most of the time honestly it's someone's moving in their grandma and they're concerned because there's an industrial plant behind them they just want to make sure their grandma's okay and we'll help them out we'll give them that that information nine times out of 10 it's nothing serious but then if it is they can always had that contact in information as well to to reach out now the nice thing about this map is you see it's spread across the entire State we do Outreach and receive reports from every in Industry type in the state of Oklahoma from those tank batteries you see driving up and down the highways to the wind farms to the uh water treat treat treatment plants across the state uh to marinas airports anything and everything in Oklahoma that's that is uh storing hazardous materials and chemicals we have those reports on our uh database so so so so the time not during tier 2 season is doing Outreach to these um uh to these I got it's doing Outreach to these industy groups just to explain what's going on and that you know what's going on with this chemical reporting program and why is it so important to keep doing your report year after year after year so um like I said this is what the the database looked like as of 8: a.
this this morning to this is about 25,000 reports uh we will end up with about 50,000 of these these these reports for this year uh that is the second most in the nation only behind the state of Texas so Texas gets about 85,000 reports a year we receive about 50,000 so uh as you can see things are busy and by the time we're done uh this entire map uh vocal will be covered in these little red dots too and the last thing I just uh I just want to show you too I'm going to kind of leave my PowerPoint and let me go back here and I want to show you our tier 2 website this link will work awesome so this is anything you ever want to know about tier 2 if if you're in this industry or just as a uh you know as a member of the public would you would you like to know more Absolut so all this is found here on the DEQ website uh you can find on under tier two reporting so we do a big training every year where we kind of go in in depth more on the reporting program what the reporting software looks like too but also we've done some uh YouTube videos as well too so so if you'd like to know more about lapcs the tier two report that's right here on this link but also that map I showed you it's right here underneath this download last year's report so there's one right here this is filed in 2024 uh so that's updated every Monday except for this Monday CU because offices were closed but the only other thing I wanted to show you is if you come here to divisions and again our section is called the chemical reporting and preparedness section so if you click on that right there too you come down here to tier 2 reporting this is a map that we have specifically for the public uh like I said uh well every week I'll go through and I'll update uh the the uh main map of what's currently in the database uh once you know but after that's done I'll come down here and I'll update this map right here local Lo locate chemicals near your community this is a map that we made for the public just that they're aware of what materials are stored in their uh section so you can come in here you can type in type in your address so for example if I want to type in the address of the Oklahom DEQ I'll come in here all right it's already it's there and so as you can see there are there are 80 tier 2 sites within a 2m radius of the Oklahoma Q now when you start scrolling through here this is when you you know you'll start to see that okay so most of these are you're also going to have all yourself your cell towers so being close to downtown okl City there are a lot of cell you know cell towers so uh that's that's why there's so many here too but also there are some Industries too so if you lived here and you want to know more information on that you can just click on uh whichever number it is here too and you can send an email to our C Central Records and I will send you um a copy of that of that report it's I can't give you everything but you just have to tell me what uh facilities you would like and I can provide you with that information because again the entire purpose it's great that we have this data here at the state at the state level but um it truly is essential that this data gets disseminated down to the local County and uh the city level because they're the ones that are responding to these events and and it's always and they have added this uh information in into in like into their safety programs so that they don't go blind into certain uh situations too um and that's kind of a quick um you know update on my program um I should have pointed out to um back here this is an actual photo of that facility in Bal in India this was taken before the incident happened and then this right here um was actually from a pipeline fire that we had uh out out in the Texas pan handle about two weeks ago and uh it was a little 6in pipeline that had a um uh you know a um uh just a little 6-in pipeline that that had that had a rupture and this is the the the fire that was caused by that little 6in closed off valve out in uh the panhandle of Texas so I mean a panh handle Oklahoma out in Texas Texas County uh near Beaver so as you can see we have these all you know uh you know we're constantly with chemicals around us uh potential for hazards all all the time this is kind of a report to to like said make sure that our First Responders and our County folks are aware of what's being stored out there and as as well as them it's also uh the public ever has any questions they can always ask for that too but uh with that too that's kind of the end of the presentation they had right now um do you guys want to do questions now or questions at the very end no it looks like we have a question in chat yeah um Jordan pees asked if a facility does not submit the report is enforcement conducted are most facilities prompt at submitting their reports so uh most are yes so at at the at the at the state level there's there's no fees for being late on your tier on your tier two report um if someone if someone doesn't follow follow follow the report we always do a big um check over that on uh you know after after the deadline so March 1st is the deadline so started on March 2nd we'll go through and if there's any reports that are that filed last last year but not this year we'll just reach out to them and and uh remind them that their tier two report is due um so it's one of the things so from the state there's no fees uh there are potential for fees at the federal level though if uh if if your facility has a a spill or something and and your tier 2 is not current um as as being submitted there are there are opportunities for um fines from the federal level and and most are good um at submitting the report every year uh the the biggest issue comes when there's change of position and a new person comes in and you kind of have to retrain them on how to do on how to do the report but overall here here here in Oklahoma we're we're pretty good on getting uh reports in before the deadline and then we chase down that last you know 10 to 5 to 10% of uh reports every year great um it also appears that Wayne crany is asking why are cell towers on the inventory it is because of the sulfuric acid within the batteries so because of the uh the the lower threshold for that and the large amount of of of batteries and cell towers um as as well as um uh the amount of sric acid and forklift batteries just just because of the amounts of the percentages it it it it trips that lower threshold quantity so we also Tech technically get reports from every Walmart Target Bass Pro in that's in the state of Oklahoma strictly because of of uh suric acid in in in uh for in in in their lead acid batteries so interesting yep we have another question um does DEQ communicate to the feds when reports are submitted or do facilities submit reports to both DEQ and the FEDS is that how the feds know to conduct fines if a report is not submitted so no um um your your tier two report um as of right now will never actually be submitted to the uh uh the EPA um everything is done at the state and and and local level the reason the EPA and feds of would ever get involved is if your facility were to have a uh a fire or some sort of in in inspection but the EPA is not going after you strictly for your tier 2 it's it's it's it's they're coming in for or like I said uh an inspection or in case that something else has happened at your facility and if they ask for your tier two report it's always good to have that available to show them that that uh you have complied so um yes so one things we don't share our data with it the federals um the federal government we just share it with everything stay in stay in below so okay Mr R Wayne crany asked when was tier 2 delegated to DEQ so tier 2 is was delegated shortly after so shortly after that uh deadline of 1986 um it was actually uh uh the epcra program was actually originally delegated to the office of civil defense which was emergency which is now emergency management and they kept all of the EPA rules about um uh grants and grant opportunities for HazMat situations and they actually passed on all of the reporting programs and everything else to uh to the Oklahoma Health Department and then that little faction of the health department spun into DEQ uh so so but um it's it's it's been of DEQ since um as long as deq's existed uh the the predecessor uh his name was Tom Bergman he kind of ran this program um when he started here in the mid 90s until he retired a few years ago and and then he passed on passed on passed it on to me but but uh we've been doing tier 2 reporting for for for as long as uh the the programs been around here in the state of Oklahoma wow okay all right well it looks like that's the end of the questions thank you so much Matt a great presentation you're welcome yeah um on to our next presentation um although Anthony is unable to be here to answer questions Wayne craney with DEQ is present and we'll be able to respond to any questions that anyone may have as a reminder if anyone would like to receive a certificate of attendance for today's presentation please send me an email to request it we ask that you don't request certificates in chat because we may not have your email address linked to your username on teams will send out the certificates this later this week as I've mentioned a recording of today's presentation should be available on our website in the next week or so and I will put that website link into the chat for you now if anyone still needs to register with for either the 2024 webinar series or our quarterly e newsletter please reach out to me and I'll be happy to provide you with that information you can also so sign up by using the QR codes uh now on your screen hello my name is Anthony Hamilton I am a professional engineer in the state of Oklahoma uh I've been with the DQ for a little over 6 and a half years uh this is a presentation on Industrial storm water and an update and kind of General overview of the ok5 multi sector General permit the msgp um which covers uh storm water discharges from industrial activities um the permit as I said covers the discharge of storm water from industrial activities that are described by their standard industrial classification code the SIC code um those sic codes uh that we cover are listed at the beginning of the ok5 permit we have about 30 sectors um sectors a through a d uh they cover a variety of thing uh uh Milling uh Industries Timber landfills asphalt facilities uh Airfield Pavements uh uh quite a wide range of uh industrial facilities basically anything that can contribute uh pollutants to uh runoff uh we do not use the North America industrial classification system the nics at this time I have gotten quite a few questions about that um and people will send me the nics code uh and we specifically need the siic code uh the permit went into effect July 5th 2022 and has an modified effective date of November 1st 2023 um authorizations under the ok5 can be issued to facilities do that do not meet the esic code requirements that are listed at the uh beginning of the okr 5 permit um determined by our executive director um they would be put into sector a um those are usually facilities that may have potential to uh contribute run off from storm water that aren't covered um otherwise um and those would be as a as determined basis um I don't think we have too many of those right now um so these are some most common exceptions uh for if you are within that SIC code uh why you may not have an okr 5 permit with the state of Oklahoma um and th those are storm Waters that are mixed with nonstorm water and again anything that gets uh mixed with Industrial Waste Water is then identified as industrial Wastewater and so if that is discharging then you would may be required to obtain an industrial Wastewater permit for that discharge uh we also have a couple uh General permits that are covered that cover storm water discharges uh are most common are the okg 111t and the okg 11 Mt for mobile plants um these are industrial and storm water permits kind of wrapped all into one um so these kind of cover their uh empowerments that they have for washing out their plants but also covers the outfalls uh for the storm water discharges uh and then of course if it is construction site those storm water discharges are covered by our other storm water permit the okr 10 um and would be uh filed on that way um the final reason most common reason is a no exposure certification is granted to a facility um facilities can apply for this NE um if they do not have any exposure to storm water uh at least of their industrial activity either it's all covered or there's no potential uh way for that to be exposed to storm water um I think there's about 11 criteria checklist on the NC form uh that each of those has to be met uh to be granted that anyc um uh as far as getting obtaining the permit uh permites must submit a noi a notice of intent to the ecls storm water permitting section um those renewals uh have to be submitted within 90 days of the expiration of the previous permit so the previous permit uh expired July 4th 2022 uh so everybody should have had them in no later than October of 2022 for facilities that were needing to renew their ok5 authorization and again those are our fiveyear cycles and so the the permit in 2022 will expire in 2027 um so that might be something to look up for during the next time uh DEQ does not accept any other noi forms other than rdq form 606 d2b uh including OKC and oi forms uh my understanding is that uh OKC does accept DEQ noi forms um feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that um nois can be mailed to deq's office they can be faxed to us or they can be emailed to ecls stormwater permitting at de.
o.gov um the I have provided the ecls storm water permitting contact information they can be reached if there's any questions regarding the permitting process or any questions about this middle of the noi um they can also be reached via that email if any questions arise during that time um next we're going to kind of talk about some of the most notable changes that have occurred um in the okr 5 permit from uh the 2017 permit to this uh newest permit that was issued in 2022 um and the biggest thing is uh some of the reporting requirements not being required to be submitted to the DEQ and those are the acers the annual comprehensive site compliance evaluation reports um and those are submitted uh each year uh by March 1st of the following year so if uh it was due or if it was for calendar year 2023 those would be due March 1st 2024 um again we no longer ask those specifically to be submitted to DQ unless we specifically request it but they do need to be kept on site with the uh s swp3 um and we also do no longer require uh impaired water monitoring data to be submitted to DEQ unless we specifically request it um that data is to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of bmps to ensure that they are not contributing to the impairment and on impaired water bottom monitoring uh they can get exceptions for those within the first year if they their results uh prove that they do not have uh uh are contributing to the impairment of that water body um we do still require those specific uh the sector specific Nelms to be submitted to the DEQ uh nlms are the numeric ofu limitation monitoring data um and here we have the sectors that are required to submit those Neel in um some of the biggest ones are runoff from asphalt emotion facilities uh runoff from hazardous waste landfills again those are from only their active sites that touch the active part of the landfill so they could have some outfalls that need to be uh sampled uh and other uh outfalls that may not need to be sampled because it's in a non-active area that's not receiving that specific runoff um same thing with airfill pavement so it may be an airport or an air transportation facility that uh does DEC activities by one outfall but doesn't do that at the other um it is for runoff only in areas where deicing antiicing activities occur um and again these are a once a year grab sample that is required um to be tested each sector has different uh things that they're required to monitor for in different limitations if they uh break their limits or don't uh meet them they are are subject to take corrective actions within 30 days um and Implement them as soon as feasible and collect a uh storm water sample uh the next available time um again you know it's storm water so can vary somewhat on that um if they continue to not meet the limit um then it would be switched to a quarterly monitoring uh for that until they can resolve the issue that is causing the exceedence for whatever limit U this is as many of you know the one of the most important parts of the okr 5 permit is the storm water pollution prevention plan the S swp3 all facilities that are permitted under the okr 5 permit are required to update and maintain their s swp3 for their industrial site um during inspections it's important to evaluate this um and verify uh the accuracy and that all documents are kept up to date uh and correct DQ does provide a best wp3 template on our website at dq.com that is continually updated by the site um I like to tell fa you know you're more than welcome to make handwritten changes inside of it as long as it's initial and dated um and there a lot of these things will change on a occurring basis you know we like to see actual uh interaction with that s swp3 whether it's just sitting on a shelf forever and ever and ever such as you know team members switch all the time people can come in and out uh you can bring in different types of pollutants maybe you switch uh certain uh control measures that have been as effective that your quarter visal monitorings have showed haven't been as effective um to uh do that and so we want to see you know that you're continually uh modifying the S swp3 as needed um these are some of the most important additional documentation that is required um and must be aail available uh for review if requested by the DEQ um some of these are important ones are uh documentation and maintenance of rep repairs of control measures inspection reports and that that should kind of Encompass that as well sampling and monitoring data and they also have to keep the copies of the original laboratory reports and any corrective actions that they uh uh Implement and again as we said earlier we no longer require for you to submit the acers but we do still require them to be kept with the swp3 um another good thing to look at while looking at their documentation is uh to see if they're conducting their quarter visual monitoring U quarter visual monitoring is a tool that is supposed to be used to evaluate how effective uh control measures are being at eliminating potential discharges of of plants to through through their storm water runoff um and uh the quarter Vision monitoring is a cool is a good tool to monitor this kind of information um and so this is kind of all the basic uh review of the okr 5 and the updates that we've had recently I will kind of go into the uh okr 4 a little bit with the mcm2 the industrial storm water runoff control for ms4s sorry um ms4s need to implement and enforce a program to prevent or reduce pollutant and any storm water runoff to your ms4 from independently owned industrial activities that discharge into your small ms4 uh again we want you to maintain an update the list of all the industrial facilities that are subject to the ok5 or individual Ops permits that for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activity and I know we have a few individual or uh
