A brief description of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines that supports the responses above:
Development of Sonoma State University's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan commenced with
the filing of a Notice of Intent on April 10, 1997. The determining factor for permit requirements is
the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) designation for each facility. Under the SIC system, each
establishment is classified according to its primary activity. Automotive servicing and other routine
maintenance performed in support of primary activity are designated with an auxiliary number.
Sonoma State University is primarily an educational institution (SIC 8221) with auxiliary
maintenance (SIC auxiliary 9).
Sonoma State University has been proactive in preventing discharges to natural waters. Installation
of the vehicle wash down area, hazardous waste storage building, plugged drains, worker educational
programs, and emergency spill response teams all attest to the University's commitment to preventing
the discharge of contaminants to the storm sewer system.
The City of Santa Rosa Sewer Use Permit conditions call for a variety of measures to minimize
contaminant levels in the sanitary sewer as well as to natural waterways. Activities in the past have
included removing oil water separators behind the Auto Shop, sealing interior drains, and installing a
wash down rack for grounds maintenance machinery and fleet vehicles. The City of Santa Rosa
conducts annual inspections and assists with identifying potential stormwater pollution sources.
