Visual Monitoring
Most facilities
are required to conduct visual monitoring of stormwater discharges. This
typically requires collecting a sample of stormwater discharge within the first
30 minutes of discharge.
Given the 30-minute requirement, most facilities need to have their staff
trained to conduct visual monitoring
Chemical Monitoring
(Benchmark Monitoring)
Chemical
monitoring is an extension of visual monitoring - instead of visually
describing the samples, they are sent to a lab for analysis.
Many States have included "benchmark values" to compare the results
of chemical monitoring, and to determine if corrective action is needed.
Caltha provides monitoring kits to facilities to collect and ship samples.
Dry Weather (Non Storm Water) Discharge Monitoring
In some areas,
each outfall must be inspected periodically to determine if non-stormwater
water is being discharged.
