The intricacies of environmental compliance and the necessity for precise communication with regulatory bodies are epitomized in the DEQ Form 606-009, a document crucial for those overseeing construction projects in Oklahoma. Dated September 13, 2012, this form serves as a formal request for inspection by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for stormwater discharges associated with construction activity under an OPDES General Permit. Its comprehensive layout demands detailed information in several sections, including permit information, facility/site operator details, location, and specifics about new operators if applicable, culminating in a mandatory operator’s signature. The purpose of this document is multifaceted, guiding permittees through the process of requesting an inspection prior to filing a Notice of Termination (NOT), indicating that a site has achieved final stabilization and no longer requires permit coverage for stormwater discharge. The form also delineates the conditions under which it should be filed, the procedural specifics for various types of facility operators, and the requisite steps for ensuring compliance. Entities must navigate the form’s requirements meticulously to ensure that the transition towards environmental compliance progresses smoothly, making it a key component of Oklahoma’s efforts to maintain environmental quality in the context of construction activity.

Instructions for Completing an Inspection Request for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity
When To File an Inspection Request Form:
Permittees who are presently covered under an issued NPDES or OPDES general permit for storm water discharges associated with construction activity may submit a Inspection Request (IR) form when their facilities are getting ready to file a Notice of Termination (NOT). For a construction site, when the site has been finally stabilized (i.e., a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of at least 70% of the native background cover has been established for all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures or where equivalent permanent stabilization measures such as riprap or gabions have been used), and all storm water discharges from construction activities that are authorized by general permit (OKR10) are eliminated, or they are no longer the operator of the facility, an NOT must be submitted that is signed in accordance with Part 4.5 of the general permit. If you submit this IR form to DEQ prior to termination of your current permit, the DEQ will conduct an inspection and provide any assistance necessary within 30 days of receipt of this form. Upon completing the inspection, the DEQ will notify you of any needed changes to the site conditions or that the site has met the final stabilization requirements under the permit. This Inspection Request form should not be substituted for an NOT. You must continue to meet the conditions and terms of the permit until you have filed the NOT. If you have questions, contact the Storm Water Unit of the Environmental Complaints and Local Services (405) 702- 6100.
