In the realm of regulatory compliance, the DEQ Form 605-006 emerges as a pivotal document for industrial facilities across Oklahoma, underscoring their adherence to environmental quality mandates. Crafted by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, this form, also known as the Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation Report (ACSCER), orchestrates a structured evaluation of a site's compliance with stormwater discharge regulations under the OPDES program. With a clear mandate for submission by March 1st annually, starting from 2012, the form exempts included parties from the requirement of conducting Benchmark Monitoring, provided they partake in a thorough self-inspection aligned with the stipulated guidelines. The comprehensive nature of this report covers an array of pertinent areas ranging from routine facility inspections, corrective actions, to the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) alongside a detailed account of any encountered spills or leaks. Additionally, it requires a declaration on the inspection of storm water discharges and the potential discovery of illicit discharges or uncontrolled pollutants. Marking a significant step towards environmental stewardship, this certification attests to the information's accuracy under penalty of law, holding the signing official accountable. The form not only fuels regulatory compliance but also fosters a culture of proactive environmental management among industrial entities.

If any significant spills or leaks occurred, did they result in more than the minimum amounts of material being discharged in storm water? Base your answer on your knowledge of the material you spilled or that leaked. The minimum amounts could vary with the nature (toxicity, oxygen demand, pH, etc.) of the spilled or leaked material from amounts left after normal "sweeping" type cleanup to the point at which even trace amounts left
after cleanup could cause an environmental problem.
Yes _____ |
No_____ |
