2.1 Description of Past Spill Events and Corrective Actions There have not been any reportable spills at the facilities covered by this spec Plan within 12 months of the requirements
to have a SPCC Plan, as defined in CFR -112. 2.2 Potential Spills: Prediction of Directions, Flow Rates, and Quantities Refer to Figure 2 -Facility Layout, for details described in the
following text: 2.2.1 Diesel fuel storage and dispensing tank, 1000 gallons -this is a single walled Above ground storage tank (AS1) containing diesel fuel, situated in a manumctured
containment berm. The containment berm is constructed of steel, and is sufficient in size to contain a spill of greater than 110 % of the previously mentioned tank capacity. Any leak
from the AST, although unlikely, would be contained by the berm. Potential spillage would probably occur from overfilling the tank itself, or from overfilling vehicle fuel tanks during
dispensing. The maximum rate of loss from one tank overfilling is estimated at 30 gal/min. Possible spill pathways for the diesel fuel are illustrated in Figure 2. 2.3 Containment and
Diversionary Structures and Equipment The AST is provided with a manufactured containment berm as described III 2.2.1. 2.4 Conformance with Applicable Guidelines and Additional Regulation
Applicable SPCC guidelines for onshore facilities (40 CFR -112.7 (a) -(e» shall be incorporated into this SPCC Plan; see the following sections for details. Spill and/or accidental releases
of SARA Title III hazardous chemicals are reportable under Texas Law (30 TAC -327.3). Refer to 2.10 Personnel Training and Spill Response Procedures for details. 2.5 Provisions for Facility
Drainage from Diked Storage Areas 
. No drainage provisions exist for the AST containment unit. Any oil found in the berm will, upon discovery, be pumped into an appropriate disposal vessel, and disposed of in accordance
with all applicable regulations. 2.6 Storage Tanks Construction, Containment, and High-Level Indicators The fuel dispensing AST is of steel construction, compatible with the diesel fuel
contained within. The AST is located on compacted soil. There is a visual level indicator provided for the AST. 2.7 Tank Car and Tank Truck Loading and Unloading 2.7.1 The operator dispensing
diesel fuel into the AST will be present during the entire operation, and will continuously monitor the amount of gallons pumped, and will periodically check the tank gauges to prevent
overfilling the tank. All transfer hoses and connections will be inspected by the truck operator before, during, and after dispensing. Residual product remaining in hoses will be drained
into the tanks or into a container before disconnection and storage. 2.7.2 An AWC employee will be present during the connection, filling, and the disconnection operations to observe
proper procedures are followed. The individual who signs the delivery ticket for fuel shipments is responsible for visual inspection of the lowermost liquid connection of the tank truck
prior to its departure. 2.8 Inspections and Recordkeeping 2.8.1 Visual inspections of the AST (and any associated hoses or piping) will be performed weekly by the A WC Emergency Coordinator
or Alternate. 2.8.2 Records of all visual inspections will be maintained using appropriate inspection logs (See Appendix B) which will be kept in the SPCC binder for not less than three
years. Deficiencies in any area will be noted and promptly communicated to the maintenance personnel for corrective action. 􀁾􀀠:" :.. -'. 2.8.3 Training records are kept for at least
three years by the Environmental, Health and Safety Department, and then they are archived. Reports to outside authorities are kept on file in perpetuity. 2.9 Site Security I Valve Valve
and Pump Lockouts 
2.9.1 2.9.2 Visual inspections of the tank systems are performed weekly as described above. Sufficient exterior lighting is provided to discourage vandalism and to discover nighttime
spills. This site is patrolled 24 hrsfday and is secured with chain link fencing. 2.9.3 All drain valves associated with tank systems are kept in the closed or "off' position, respectively,
and will be locked out. 2.9.4 When not in use, allioadfunioad connections are capped or otherwise secured. 2.10 Personnel Training and Spill Prevention Procedures 2.1 0.1 Personnel Training
Aunual training sessions are conducted for all personnel having responsibilities invol ving the fuel tanks. Records are kept at the field office. Training sessions will include tank
filling procedures, inspections, spill response procedures, leak detection methods, and procedures to be followed when contacting outside contractors for assistance in an emergency situation.
2.10.2 Spill Response Procedures, Communications, Cleanup Equipment The following procedure is to be followed during a spill event or incident discovered by an A WC employee. 1. The
person discovering the spill will attempt to eliminate further release of oil or other polluting substance, if possible without personal harm. The anticipated actions would include:
a. Shutting off pumps or valves, or up-righting a topped drum. b. Capping fuel delivery hoses and blocking storm drains. c. Requesting assistance from on-site maintenance personnel.
2. If the spill or release threatens to escape the local containment area, the person will' then notifY the Emergency Coordinator of the situation, who will summon cleanup personnel
and equipment to the scene. 3. The Emergency Coordinator will assess environmental impact, if any, and if required by law will notifY appropriate authorities (See 2.10.3). 2.10.3 Spill!
Release Notification Requirements Under Texas Law (30 TAC -327) in case of spills or discharges of petroleum products or used oil involving waters of the state in quantities sufficient
to create 
create a sheen, or onto bare land in quantities of 25 gallons or more, within a 24 hour period, immediate notification shall be provided to: STATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER (SERC) 24
HR TELEPHONE: (800) 823-8224 Alternatively, during daytime business hours, the TNRCC Region 4 Office may be contacted at (817) 588-5800. . Notification to the SERC or TNRCC Region 4

APPENDIX A SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES , 
SPILL PREVENTION PROCEDURE ARCHER WESTERN CONTRACTORS Ltd. 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to prevent accidental discharges ofoil and other polluting substances into waters
of the State of Texas, as prohibited by 40 eFR 112 and 30 TAe -327.3, during routine delivery of bulk petroleum products at Awe facilities. 2.0 PROCEDURES Deliveries of Fuel Oil 2.1
Fuel oil deliveries will be scheduled in advance. On the scheduled day of delivery, A we management will ensure that an Awe employee will be available to supervise the fuel oil unloading
process, and that spill prevention devices are available. 2.2 When the fuel oil delivery truck arrives, an Awe employee will meet the truek at the delivery point. The A we employee will
inform the fuel oil delivery truck driver regarding A we spill prevention procedures. 2.3 The A we employee will place a drain-blocking device at the opening of the storm water drain
nearest to the delivery connection before any fuel being dispensed. 2.4 The A we employee will supervise the hookup process connecting the tanker truck to the fuel oil supply connection
fill port, and will remain in observation during the entire fuel oil unloading I delivery process. 2.5 The A we employee or his assistant will monitor the level of the fuel oil storage
tank continuously during the fuel oil unloading I delivery process to prevent overfilling. 2.6 If the tank approaches 90% of its maximum capacity during the fuel oil unloading I delivery
process, the A we employee will signal the fuel oil delivery truck driver to halt the flow offuel oil, and will shut off flow to the full tank. 
2.7 Prior to disconnecting the fuel oil delivery hose from the fuel oil supply connection fill port, the fuel oil delivery truck driver will drain fuel oil left in the hose into either:
• The fuel oil supply connection • The fuel oil delivery truck; or • An intact container ofsufficient size to contain all the fuel oil left in the hose 2.8 The fuel oil delivery truck
driver will handle and stow the fuel oil delivery hose in such a manner as to prevent any spillage or leakage offuel oil, and will ensure the maximum amonnt ofdrainage possible prior
to disconnecting the hose. 2.9 Any spills or leaks of fuel oil during any part of the delivery /unloading process will be immediately cleaned up using absorbent materials ofthe highest
efficiency capable ofremoving fuel oil from intact surfaces. 2.10 Any discharges offuel oil during any part of the delivery I unloading process that threaten to enter waterways (or the
environment in damaging quantities) must be addressed per 2.10.3 ofthe A WC SPCC Plan. Maintenance Activities 2.11 Any maintenance activities performed on the fuel oil bulk storage tank
that could result in significant leaks or spills of fuel oil will be supervised by the A WC SPCC Plan Emergency Coordinator or by another designated A WC employee. 2.12 Any small spillage
of fuel oil during any part of the maintenance activities performed on the fuel oil storage system will be immediately cleaned up using absorbent materials of the highest efficiency
capable of removing fuel oil from intact surfaces. 2.13 In the event of an uncontrolled release of fuel oil to any containment area in excess of the containments area's capacity, immediate
measures will be taken to address the spill by: • Blocking near storm drains and paths to water receptors, and • Implementing section 2.10.3 ofthe A WC SPCC Plan. L.:: .

(e.g... you are authorized to direCt workers at a site to carr)' out activities reqUired by the SWPPP or comply with other perm!' conditions). There may be more than one party at a site
performing the taSks relating to "operational conuol" as denned abo"e. Depending on the site and the relationship between the portles ( •.g.• owner. developer). there can either be a
single party acting as site operator and conseque'1tly be responsible for obtaining permit coverage. or there can be two or more Operators with all n.eding permit coverage. The follOwing
are three 􀁧􀁾􀁮􀁥􀁲􀁡􀁬􀀠operator scenarios (variatlonl\on any of the three are possible as the number of "owne"," and contractor:! Increases):' . .... Owner as Sale Permlccee. The

permit coverage In Instances where they perform general contracting duties for construction oftheIr per.;onal resIdences. .... Owner and Contracror as CcPermittees. The owner retains
control Over any changes to site plans. SWPPPs. or storm water conveyance or control desIgns; but the contractor Is responsible for overseeing actual earth disturbing activities and
􀁤􀁡􀁬􀁬􀁾􀀠Implementation ofSWPPP and other pennlt conditions. In this case. both parties may need coverage. However. you are probably not an operator and subsequently do not need pennltcoveragelf

operator): or .... your activities on sit.. result In earth disturb.nce and you are not legally a subcontractor. but a SWPPP sp.dficaJly Id.ntlfies someone other than you (or your subcontractor)
as th. party having operational control to address the Impacts your activities may have on storm water quality (I.e .. another operator has assumed responsibility for the Impacts ofyour
construction activities). 1l!I.s particular provLslon will apply to most utllity service lin. installations. For further lruormatlon concernIng whether utilIty service line installations
meet the definItion ofoperator and requlre pennlt coverage. see the discussion under "installation of Utility ServIce Unes" in Section vm. Summatj' Response to Public Comments ofthe
FactSheel. In addition. for purposes of lhLs pennlt and determining who Is an operator, "owner" refe", to the party that owns the structure being built. Ownership ofthe land where construction
Is occurring does not necessarily imply the property owner Is an operator (e.g.• a landowner whose . property Is being disturbed by construction of a gas pipeline). Ukewlse. If the erection
of a structure has been contracted for. but possess!on ofthe tltie or leaso to the land or strUcture Is not to occur until after construction. the would-be owner may not be considered
an operator (e.g .• My Project WJJI Disturb Less Than FIve Acres. but Ir May Be Parr ofa "Lsrger Common Plan ofDevelopment or Sale." How Can I Tell and What Must I do? ' Ifyour smaller
project IS pan of a larger common plan of d .... elopment or sale that collectively w1l1 disturb five or more acres (e.g .. you are building on six half·acre residential lots In a I()..acre
development or are putting In a parking lot In a large retail center) you need permit coverage. The "plan" in a common plan ofdevelopment or sale Is broadly denned as any announcement
or piece of documentation (Including a sign. public notice or hearing. sales pitch, advertisement. drawing. penni! appUcation. %onlng request. computer design, etc.) or physical demarcation
(including boundary sIgns. lot stakes. surveyor markings. etc.) Indicating construction activities may occur on a spedfic plot. You must stili meet the definition of operator In order
to be . required to get permit coverage. regardless of the acreage you per.;onany disturb. As a subcontractor. It Is unlikely you would need a permit. For some sItuations where less
than five acres of the original common plan of development remain undeveloped. a pennlt may not be needed Cor the construction projectS "ruUng in" the last parts of the common plan of
development. A case in which a pennlt would not be needed Is where several empty lots totaling less than five acres remain after the rest ofthe project had been completed. providing
stab\1lUtlon had also been completed for the entire project. However. ifthe total area of all the undeveloped lots in the original common plan ofdevelopment was more than fi ve acres.
a permit would be needed. 'When Can You CAnsider Futr.rre Conscructlon on a ProperTy To Be Parr ofa Separate Plail ofDevelopment or Sale? • In many cases, a common plan of development
or sale consists ofmany small construction projects that collectively add up to five (5) or more acres of total disturbed land. For example. an original common plan of ' development
for a residential subdivision might layout the streets, house lots. and oreas for parks. schools and commerdal development that the developer plans to build or sell to others for development.

Endangered Species? . . In o!'di.rto be eligible for lhLs 􀁰􀁥􀁲􀁭􀁬􀁾􀀠you mUSt follow tile procedures end 􀁾􀁭􀁰􀁬􀁥􀁳􀀠found In Addendum A for the protection ofendangered spedes.
You cannOt submit your NOI until you are able to certify your ellglbUity (or the pennlt. Enough lead time should be built Into your project schedule to accomplish these procedures-Itanother
operator has certified eligibility for the project (or at least the portion of the projectyou will be working on) in his NOI. you will usually be able to rely on his certification of
proJect"lJglblllty and not have'to repeat the process. EPA created this "coat tail" eligIbility option for protectlon ofendangered spedes to ' allow the sIte developer/owner to obtain
up-front "clearance" for a projeet, thereby avoiding duplication ofelTon bY his contractors and unnecessary delays in constr!.tctlon. What Does the Permlt Requite Regarding HIstonc PreservatIon?
Today's perm!t does not currentiy Impose rtqulrements related to historic preservation, though EPA may modIty the pennlt at a later date after further discussions wIth the Advisory CoU!'dl
on Historic Preservation. Therefore. under today's permit, EPA wtIl conduct consultations as It did under the preexisting Baseline Construction General Pennlt on a case-by-c:ase basis
as . needed. Removal ofthe proposed pennie provisionS related to historic preservation in no way reUeves applJcantS and pennlttees oftheir obllgatiot1s to comply with applicable State.
T rib.1 or local laws for the preservation ofhlstoric properties. EPA reminds peimIttee.s that according to section 110(1<) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPN. an intentional

project which stort.d prior to the effectlve date of this permlt. you must complete a reVised NOI Form (EPA Form 3510-9) to obtain coverage under this permit However. applicants who
have previously submltted an NOI for permlt coverage prior to the e«e<:!lve date of this permlt have the optlon to leave the sectlon regarding Addendum A on endangered species blank
unless there Is a potentlallmpact on endangered species or their habitat. How do I Know Which PermiC Conditions Apply ro Me? . You are responsible Cor complying wIth all parts ofthe
permlt!batare applicable to the constructlon actlvitles you perform. Part m.E. of the permlt defines the tales of various operators at a site. In additlon. several States and Indian
Tribes require alternatlve or additlonal permlt condltlons, and these can be found In Part X of the permlt. Do I Ha ve FIexibJlity In Preparing the Storm Water PollUtion Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and Selecting Best Management Practices (BMPs) for My Site? . Storm water pollution preventlon plan reqUirements were designed to allow max.imum /lexibUlty to develop the needed

alteraft); and coordination with other site operator:!. MlJ.'lt Every Permittee Have His Own Separate SWPPP or Is aloin! Plan Allowed? The only requirement Is that there be at leas,
one SWPPP for a site which Incorporates the required elements for all operators •.but there can be separate plans If individual permltte .. so desire. EPA encourages permlttees to explore
possible cost savings by having aJolnt SWPI'P for several opera tars. For example. the prime developer could assume the Inspectlon responslbllltles for the entlre site. while each homebuilder
shares In the Installatlon and maintenance of sediment traps servIng common areas. Ifa Project Will Not Be Compleced Before This Permit Expires. How Can I Keep Permit Coverage? Ifthe
permlt ls reissued or replaced with a new one before the current one expires. you wUl need to complywith whatever conditlons the new permlt requires 1n order to transition coverage from
the old permlt. This usually Includes submittlng a new NOL If the permit expires before a replacement permit can be issued, the permit will be administratlvely "continued." You are automatically

of lsleta. Nambe, Picuris. Pojoaque. Sandia. Tesuque and Santa Clara In New Mexico. These additional permlt requlremencs are contained In Part X or the permits. The Coastal Zone Management

the public at large. Second. secdon 7 (.)(2) of the ESA requires !hat F eder.1 .gendes consult with the Fish and WlIdllfe Service (FWS) or the Natlonal Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
("the Services") to Insure that .ny .ctlon .uthorlzed, funded or can1ed out by them (also known as ".gency .ctlons·1 are not likely 10jeop.rdlze the continued existence of.ny listed

of th.t species (See 40 CFR 402.02). The ESA section 7 Implementing regulations at 50 CFR 402 apply this consultatlon requirement to any action authOrized by a Federalageney that may
affect listed spedes or critical habitat. including permits. This .ffect. among other things. can be beneficlal, d.trimental. direct and indirect Th. Issuance of the CGP by EPA Is thus
subject to the ESA section 7(0)(2) consultation requlrem.nts. FInally. ESA section 7(0)(1) directs Federal agendes to use their authority 10 further the purposes of the ESA by carrying

repr..entatlve could Implement to avoid likely adverse effects to listed species orcritiClI habitat. If adverse effects are Iik.lyand those effects cannot be addressed through Informal
consultation. then formal consultatlon generally occurs. Also of r.levance for the CGP are ESA section 10 IncIdental taking permlts. Section 10 of the ESA allows persons;" Including
non-Federal entities to Incidentally take listed anlmalspedes. wh.re otherwise prohibited. through the Issuance ofa permit after development of a habitat conservation plan (HCP). These
procedures were dev.loped to .1I0w non-Federal entlties such as developers to. among other thlng1. alter habitat without Incurring takings nability where take Is minImized to the extent

the CGP was not lii<.ly to advers.ly arfeel listed species or Critical habitat. However. the negotiations on CGP did not consider ongoing construction proJects; i.e .. construction projectS
which started prior to the efTectlv. date of these permits. In January, 1998, Region 6 decided to address ESA c.rtlfication Issues for ongoing constrUction projects before rUl.luing

give applicants additional flexibUity In meeting the Part I.B.3.e. eligibility reqUirements and with the timing of Informal consultations. the permit automatically designates CGP applicants

to best ensure that the permits are protective of listed species and critical habitats Without unduly burdening permit applicants. permittees. and State. local. and Federal govemmental

been achieved and may revise the permits If necessary to better achieve that goal. V. Historic Property Proteetlen A. Background The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. as amended.

of historic properties. EPA has declded to not Include those conditions because the ACHP and the National Conference of State HIstoric Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) have requested that
EPA not Include such conditions in the flnal permIt at this time. The ACHP and the NCSHPO have recommended that EPA Issue the permit but recommend that EPA continue working with them

CWA § 402(a). 33 U.S.C. 1342(a). Nonetheless. EPA has evaluated pennitUng alternatives for regulation ofstorm water discharges associated with construction activity. The general pennlt
that EPA proposes to re·tssue would be vlrtl'ally the same NPDES general penni! for construction that many construcdon operators have used over the past five years. Furthermore. general

rul." for which the agency "Is required by section 553'of (the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)J. or any other law, to publish general notice of proposed rulemaklng." The !<FA exempts
from thls requirement any rule that the Issuing agency cerdfies "will nat. If promulgated. have a sIgnificant economic Impact on a substandal number ofsmall entities," EPA did not prepare
an !nidal regulatory fiexlbUity analysis (lRFA) for the proposed CGP. (Note that In today's action. EPA Is issuing a separate general pennlt for eachjurtsdlctlon where EPA Issues pennlts:

rulemaklng requirements. The Agency . reviewed'lts previOUS NPDES general permitting actions and related statements in the Federal Register or elsewhere. This review suggests that L'le
Agency hils generally treated NPDES general permits effectively as rules. though at times It has given contrary , Indication. as to whether these actions are rules c!r permits. EPA also
reviewed ag.in the appllcable law. Inc!udlng the CWA. rellivant CWA case law arid the APA. as w'ell as the Attorney General's Manual orl the APA (1947). On the basis of its revtew. EPA
has concluded. as set forth In 􀁴􀁨􀁾􀀠proposal. that NPDES general pehnlts are pennlts under the APA and thus not subject to APA 􀁲􀁵􀁬􀁥􀁭􀁡􀁫􀁬􀁮􀁾􀀠requirements or the!<FA. The APAdefmes
two broad. mutually exclusive Categories of agency acdon"rules" anil"arders." Its definition of "rule" encompasses "an agency statement <If general or particular applicability and future

APA defines "license" to "Include' •• an agency perdut· ••" APAse<;tlon 551(8). The 'APA thus categorizes a permit permit as 􀁡􀁾􀀠order. which by the APA's definition 1:1 nat a rule.
Section 553 of the APA establlshes "rule making" requlrements. The APA defines rule'maldng as "the agency process for formulating. amending. or repealing a rule." APA§ 551(5). By Its
terms. then.S 553 appUes only to "rules" and hOI also to "orders." which I, 
36497 Federal Register/Vol. 63. No. IZS/Monday, July 6, 1995/Notices Include permIts. As the Attorney Cenerars Manual on the APA explaIns. "the entire Act Is based upon a dichotomy between
rule making and adJudication Ithe agency process for formulation of an order)" (p. 14). The CWAspeclfies the use of permits for authorizing the discharge of _pollutants to waters of
the UnIted States. Sectlon 301 (a) of the CWA prohibits discharges of pollutants "Iexcept as in compliance wIth" speclfled ,ectlons of the CWA. Including ,ectlon 402. 33 U.S.C. 1311
(a). Sectlon 402 of the CWA authortzes EPA "to Issue a p<lrmlt for ,the discharge of any pollutant' • ". notwithstanding section 1301 (a) ofthe CWAJ." 33 U.S.C. 1342(a). Thus, the only
cIrcumstances In which a discharge of pollutlon may be authorized Is where the Agency has Issued a permit for the discharge. Courts. recognlzlng that a permit Is the necessary condItion-precedent
to any lawful discharge. speclflcaUy suggested the use of area-wtde and general permits as a mechanl$m for addressJng the Agency's need to Issue a substantial number ofpermits. See NRDC
v. T/'"IIln. 396 f.5upp. 1393. 1402 (D.D.C. 1975): NRDCv. Cosrle. 568 F.2d 1369. 1381. (D.C. Clr_ i971). Adopting the courts' suggestion. EPA has made Increasing use of general permits
In Its CWA regulalory program. particularly for >torm water discharges. In the Agency's view. the fact that an NPDES general permit may apply to a large number of dlfTerent dischargers
does not convert II from a permilln!o a rule. As noted above. the courts whIch have faced the Issue of how EPA can permit large numbers of discharges under the CWA have suggested use
of a general permit. nol a rule. Under the APA. the two terms are mutually , exclusive. Moreover. an NPDES general permit retains unique characteristics that distinguish a p<lrmil from
a rule. Flrst.loday·s NPDES general p<lrmit for storm water discharges assadated with COfl$tructlon activity Is effective only with respect to those dischargers thaI choOS<! to be bound
by the permit. Thus, unlike the typical rule, this NPDES general p<lrmil does not Impose immedIately effective obligations of general applJcabUlty. A dlsdlarger must choose to be covered
by this general permit and So notify EPA. A discharger always retains the option ofobtaining Its own individual permit. Relatedly, the terms ofthe NPDES general permit are enforceable
only against dischargers thaI choose to make use of the p<lrmit. II a source discharges without authortzatlon of a general or an Individual permit. the discharger violates § 301 of the
Act for discharging without a permil. nol for Violating the terms of an NPOES general permit. Because the CWA and Its case law make clear thaI NPOES permits are the congressIonally chosen,vehJcle
for authorizing discharges of pollutants 10 waters of the United States, the·APA·s rulemaklng reqUirements are Inapplicable to Issuance of.uch permits. Including today's general permit
Further. whJle the CWA requires that NPDES permits be Issued only after an opportunity for a hearing. it does nOI require publication of a general notice of proposed rulemaklng. Thus,
NPDES permiltlng Is not subject to the requirement to publish a general notice of propOSP.d rulemaklng under the 'APA or any other law. Accordingly, It Is not .ubJec.. to the RFA. AI
the same time. the Agency recognizes that the question of the appUcablllty of the APA. and thus the RFA. 10 the Issuance of a general permit Is a dlfficull one. given the fact that a
large number of dischargers may choose to use the general permit. Indeed. the poInt of issuing a general permit Is 10 provide a speedier means of permitting large number of sources and

or RF A'requJrements. In the case of the CGP being Issued loday. the Agency has considered and addressed the polentlallmpact ofthe general p<lrmit on small entities In a manner that
would meet the' requirements of the RFA If It applied. Speclflc:aUy. EPA has analyzed the po tentlallmpact of the general permit on small entities and found that It will not have a significant
economlc Impact on a substantial number ofsmaIl entldes. Uke the previous general permit permit that II replaces (the Baseline Construction General Permit,). the permit Will make avaJlable
to many small entities. particularly operators of construction slles. a streamlined process In loday's general permit. only the operator(s) :of a construction site are required to satisfy
certlficadon requlremerits under the p<lrmit. EPA . believes this modification from the prior permit .hould reduce any such adverse economic Ilnpaets on both operators and contractors/subcontractors
who. In many Instances. are small entities. In view ofthe 'foregoing. the RegIonal AdmJrtlstrators find that the final general p<lnlut. even IfIt were a rule•. Will not have a significant
