Overview

Your campus power plant may not be coal-fired and hence, may not store coal outside in a manner that could potentially contaminate storm water; however, it may still engage in some activities that could impact storm water and, if so, your power plant may be subject to pollution prevention regulations for stormwater.

Activities performed at campus power plants that potentially trigger the storm water regulations include the following:

  • Outside storage and loading/unloading areas of hazardous substances (e.g., petroleum products, antifreeze, detergents)
  • Vehicle maintenance, service and equipment cleaning areas
  • Fuel dispensing areas

Continue through this section of EVC to learn about regulations that affect power plant practices i.e. storage of fuels and storm water discharges.
