For facilities with general permits, those in cycle year 4 and 5 watersheds already have these new visual analysis requirements in place, while facilities in cycle year 1, 2, and 3 watersheds will have them written into their renewed permits in the coming years. (The cycle year will be listed on the permit, and maps to identify cycle years by watershed are available here.)

If the operator is not available to immediately assess the sample, it may be kept cold in a sealed container for up to 48 hours after collection. For larger facilities with many outfalls or points of discharge, it might be necessary to have a team of people ready to deploy during a storm event in order to capture all of the necessary samples within the first 30 minutes of storm water discharge.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"2\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"2\">When?<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>Samples must be collected quarterly, with very few exceptions. Because weather can be very unpredictable, the best strategy is to collect and visually assess your samples as early in the quarter as possible to avoid missing out on proper conditions for collecting a sample at the end of the quarter, such as a dry spell or rain with dangerous sampling conditions like lightening. Remember, safety always comes first, never collect samples during dangerous weather conditions. During winter months, snowmelt leaving the site can be sampled in lieu of rainwater. Samples must be taken at least 72 hours after the last storm event that caused a discharge of storm water at your facility, and within the first 30 minutes of the beginning of a new storm water discharge. Note that sampling period does not necessarily start at the beginning of rainfall\/snowmelt, but when that water starts to leave the property.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"3\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"3\">Where?<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>Each storm water discharge from your facility needs to be sampled, including outfalls (where storm water goes directly into surface waters of the state) and points of discharge (where storm water goes into a storm sewer system). If a discharge is considered to be \u201csubstantially identical\u201d to another on site, only one must be sampled per quarter, as long as the certain requirements are met and documented.<\/p>\n<p>More information on visual assessments is available on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/deq\/0,1607,7-135-3313_3682_3716-24018--,00.html\">MDEQ Industrial Storm Water Website.<\/a><\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"4\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"4\">Other Upcoming Changes<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>Michigan Department of Environmental Quality will be implementing a new online tool to streamline water resources permitting and reporting, starting August 17, 2015. the new system, called MiWaters, will facilitate electronic NPDES permit submissions (including storm water permits) and replace the current electronic DMR system, as well as offering other features.<\/p>\n<p>More information on MiWaters is on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/deq\/0,4561,7-135-3313_72753---,00.html\">MDEQ website.<\/a><\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-accordion -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-cta-bar -->\n<section class=\"global-cta innerpage-cta default\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"global-cta-wrapper  \">\n                                            <h2>Embrassez le changement<\/h2>\n                                <div class=\"global-cta-image\">\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" width=\"316.566\" height=\"369\" viewBox=\"0 0 316.566 369\">\n                        <defs>\n                            <pattern id=\"pattern\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" viewBox=\"117.006 0 316.566 369\">\n                                <image preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid slice\" width=\"655.35\" height=\"369\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/GettyImages-487098403-scaled.jpg\"><\/image>\n                            <\/pattern>\n                        <\/defs>\n                        <path id=\"Union_8\" data-name=\"Union 8\" d=\"M72.087,369,206.869,190.294h109.7L182.891,369ZM0,195.818H68.4l28.66,44.507L68.4,286.43Zm0-10.747L68.4,94.466l28.66,46.1L68.4,185.071Zm205.769-6.365L72.087,0h109.7L316.566,178.706Z\" fill=\"url(#pattern)\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"global-cta-content\">\n                    <p>Collaborez avec les praticiens test\u00e9s de TRC<\/p>\n                    <p>\n                        <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact Us\" class=\"btn btn-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a>                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-cta-bar -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New industrial storm water permit requirements are being rolled out in Michigan.
