TPDES Stormwater Annual Report FY2019 | Seite 47

The City will continue to send notice to all facilities on file with benchmark monitoring requirements to remind them of their reporting requirements to TCEQ and will request that a copy of the report also be sent to the Stormwater Management Division , Environmental Management Group . Those who do not submit the benchmark monitoring data to the City will be asked to provide a hard copy of the data upon annual inspection of their facility to be reviewed and filed with industrial inspections records . Compliance Action Plans are reviewed at annual inspection or by March 31 ( whichever is later ) to determine if corrective measures were effective .
V . Clean Rivers Program ( CRP )
The CRP program is coordinated through the Trinity River Authority of Texas ( TRA ). CRP sampling is conducted at eight predetermined sites on a quarterly basis . In June 2016 , the City began sampling monthly for E . coli at the eight previously established CRP sites and eventually added four ( 4 ) additional sites for comprehensive watershed sampling . One additional site was added in FY2017 for a total of thirteen ( 13 ) monthly E . coli sampling locations . Quarterly sampling occurs at the eight ( 8 ) previously established CRP sites and includes additional water quality parameters including : pH , dissolved oxygen , specific conductivity , air temperature , sample temperature , surfactants , chlorine , copper , phenols , ammonia , and visual observation . Lab analyses include testing for : Cadmium , Chromium , Copper , Manganese , Nickel , Zinc , Iron , Lead , Chlorophyll , TKN , Nitrate , Nitrite , Orthophosphate , Total Phosphate , Hardness , and E . coli .
The eight CRP sites are located on larger bodies of water . This provides a broader view of the health of the entire stormwater collection system as well as indicating the presence of any pollutants from illicit discharges upstream . TRA provides all CRP data to the TCEQ on behalf of the participating entities . In September 2014 , the City of Arlington converted to the TRA CRP reporting and sampling schedule , thus sampling may not necessarily align with the City of Arlington ’ s defined fiscal year or annual reporting cycle . Quarterly CRP sampling occurred in November 2018 , February 2019 , May 2019 , and August 2019 .
