Introduction Because FAU is located in an
urbanized area, it is required by Federal and State Regulations to complete a Stormwater Management Plan
Stormwater Management Program
FAU has developed a stormwater management program that includes best management practices, with measurable goals, to effectively implement the following six minimum control measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach: Perform educational outreach regarding the harmful impacts of polluted stormwater runoff.
2. Public Participation/Involvement: Comply with State and local public notice requirements and encourage other avenues for citizen involvement.
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: Implement a plan to detect and eliminate any non-stormwater discharges to the storm sewer system and create a system map showing outfall locations.
4. Construction Site Runoff Control: Implement and enforce an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities.
5. Post-construction Runoff Control: Implement and enforce a program to address discharges of post-construction stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment areas.
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping: Implement a program to reduce pollutant runoff from municipal operations and property and perform staff pollution prevention training.
Stormwater Management Program
Areas of Responsibility
Public Education and Outreach:Public Participation/Involvement:
Environmental Health & Safety
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: Physical Plant (Maintenance, Transportation, & Grounds) Engineering & Utilities
Construction Site Runoff Control: Engineering & Utilities
Post-construction Runoff Control: Facilities Planning – through SFWMD Environmental Permitting
Process
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping: Physical Plant (Maintenance, Transportation, & Grounds) Environmental Health & Safety (Training)
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The requirements develop, implement and enforce a
program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
Develop a storm sewer system map showing the location of all outfalls and the names and location of all waters that receive discharges from those outfalls
EPA Recommendations Procedures for locating priority areas
likely to have illicit discharges Procedures for tracing the source of an
illicit discharge Procedures for removing the source of
the discharge Procedures for program evaluation and
assessment. Visually screening outfalls during dry
weather
Your Responsibilities
You are the eyes of the University. You are expected to: Look for discharges/possible
discharges Report any problems to EH&S (7-
3129)
Where to look Priority Areas
Aboveground Storage Tanks Roadway/Parking Lot Storm Drains Storm Sewer Outfalls to El Rio Canal Vehicle/Equipment/Fertilizer Storage
Areas
What to look for
Any type of liquid or solid that could make its way to the storm sewer Chemicals, Oil, Gas, Antifreeze, etc. Trash, Debris, Soil, Fertilizers
Suspicious flows during dry weather Water in normally dry ponds Discharges from outflows to canals
What if I find a problem? Trash, Debris, etc.
Clean-up and dispose of to regular trash Soils, Fertilizers, other solids
Notify EH&S. Chemicals, Gas, Diesel, Antifreeze,
etc. Notify EH&S immediately
Suspicious flows Notify EH&S immediately
EH&S will Respond to liquid and solid discharges
Chemicals, gas, diesel, antifreeze, etc. Soils, Fertilizers, etc.
Find and eliminate source of discharge Perform (or contract out) clean up
operations. File any required reports Evaluate program effectiveness and
make changes, if necessary.
