CTA Stormwater Pollution Prevention Compliance Group
NES has served as the Technical Group Leader for the California Trucking Association’s Storm Water Group Monitoring Program, one of the largest storm water monitoring groups in the State of California. Storm water regulations permit group monitoring programs for facilities with similar industrial activities and classifications such as the California Trucking Association providing members comply with the General Industrial Permit requirements. A storm water monitoring group reduces individual member costs and enables a broader understanding of developing and implementing best management practices common to the trucking industry to manage pollutant loading from similar industrial operations.
As the Technical Group Leader, NES has developed and maintains the Group Monitoring Plan; reviews storm water sampling data; conducts facility inspections; provides storm water pollution prevention training sessions to members and technical assistance to CTA and monitoring group members and is responsible for developing and submitting the Annual Group Monitoring Report to the State Water Resources Control Board and respective Regional Boards.
The CTA Group Monitoring Program has approximately 250 members and is not only one of the largest monitoring groups in California, it’s one of the longest sustaining groups with over 10–year track record of continued improvement in pollutant discharges from trucking facilities to protect the quality of California surface waters.
