Although not included as an appendix, all completed forms for inspection and sampling are considered part of this SWMP Plan and are available for public review and comment as follows: • Upon request: contact the Stormwater Program Coordinator or Stormwater Management Officer listed on page 2 of this document • At the Village of East Aurora municipal building as follows: o Hardcopy: (DPW o Electronically: Public: Upon Request c) Following a monitoring location inspection, all inspections which resulted in a “suspect” or “obvious” illicit discharge characterization are subject to sampling unless the source of the illicit discharge is clear and discernable (e.g., sewage), in which case sampling is not necessary; d) Sampling is conducted using field test strips and/or field instrumentation that are sufficiently sensitive to detect the parameter below the sampling action level used. As per the MS4 General Permit (Part VI.C.d), analytical methods are not subject to New York State’s 40 CFR Part 136 requirements for approved methods and certified laboratories; e) Source track down is initiated for monitoring locations that are characterized as “suspect” or “obvious” illicit discharge, or that exceed any sampling action level used; f) All monitoring locations are re-inspected within thirty (30) days of the initial inspection, if there is a physical indicator not related to flow, that is indicative of an intermittent or transitory discharges. In layman’s terms, a monitoring location may not be flowing at the time of the dry weather inspection, but there may be evidence (i.e. physical indicators) of an illicit discharge such as oil stains or toilet paper. If those same physical indicators persist, the Village of East Aurora will initiate illicit discharge track down procedures. ii. The Village of East Aurora, in partnership with the Western NY Stormwater Coalition, has an employee training program addressing Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination procedures. This training engages employees in a classroom setting as well as in hands-on monitoring location Inspection, sampling, results interpretation, and source track down and elimination. a) All new staff that are charged with performing monitoring location inspections and sampling procedures will receive training on procedures prior to doing so;
