• Are there any unauthorized NSWDs occurring at any of the drainage outfall(s), or indications of prior unauthorized NSWDs?

  Yes

  No
Drainage

• Specify Drainage Ara

• Source of Discharge / Characteristics / Source of Pollutant(s) (if applicable)

• Are there any authorized NSWDs occurring at any of the drainage?

  Yes

  No
Drainage

• Specify Drainage Ara

• Source of Discharge / Characteristics / Source of Pollutant(s) (if applicable)

Observation Tips and Instructions

• CHARACTERISTICS
  Clear
  Discoiored
  Turbid / Cloudy
  Odorous (Smelly)
  Oily Sheen
  Floating Materials
  
  • Observe the water and look for evidence of pollutants (oily sheen, odor, etc.)
  • Document the source of the observed pollutant(s) (ex: If there is an oil sheen, you should be able to follow that sheen back to a particular source on the ground, such as an oil spot in a parking area)
  • Write down the additional BMP(s) necessary to eliminate pollutant(s) from future discharges
