NPDES storm-water-sampling guidance document

Technical Report · Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6994499

The manual provides operators of facilities that discharge storm water associated with industrial activity and operators of large and medium municipal separate storm sewer systems with guidance on storm water sampling. The manual is primarily designed to assist operators/owners in planning for and fulfilling the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water discharge sampling requirements for permit applications as well as for other storm water sampling needs. The manual summarizes the storm water application regulations and gives instructions on filling out Form 2-F. The document describes 'representative' storms and problems with obtaining data from storm events. An in-depth discussion of collecting grab and composite sampling, both manually and by automatic sampler is provided. Sampling protocol modifications, requirements for petitions for substituting substantially identical effluents, and requests for approval of alternate test procedures are discussed. Safety issues are introduced.
