I. PLAN Administration

a) Company Introduction

Veolia Energy Los Angeles, Inc ("Veolia" ) is a company that specia lizes in reliable, low cost thermal

energy via district energy. District energy is the production and distribution of thermal energy,

produced at a central plant and distributed to the community through an underground piping network.

District heating and cooling allows buildings to forego the installation of on-site boilers and chillers, so

our customers receive consistent heating and cooling within their property line, the benefit of

redundancy within both chilled water and hot water capacity, and the economy of sca le. In addition,

our district energy plants and networks are designed to stringent environmental standards.

b) Overview and Purpose

Veolia has vaults throughout the closed loop distribution system. Veolia may occasionally remove water

from the vaults as a result of stormwater drainage, subterranean seepage, irrigation runoff, and/or

distribution line leakage. Thus, due to the normal course of maintenance and vault care, the vault must

be dewatered. This results in short term and intermittent discharges to surface waters of the State of

California.

The California State Water Resources Control Board has the authority under the Federal Clean Water Act

of 1972, to issue statewide General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permits

to regulate the discharge of pollutants into the United States water.

In order to regulate surface waters discharges associated with the de-watering of utility vaults and

underground structures, the California State Water Resources Control Board issues General NPDES

Permits for Discharges from Utility Vaults and Underground Structures to Surface Waters, Order No.

2014-0174-DWQ, NPDES CAG990002, ("PERMIT" ). The State Board allows utilities and other companies

to app ly for coverage under the Genera l Permit within their region.

The PERMIT requires utilities and other companies to develop and implement a Pollution Prevention

Plan ("PLAN" ), which include Pollution Prevention Practices ("PPP"), designed to prevent or contro l the

discharge of pollutants. In addition, the PERMIT requires the utilities and other companies to develop

and implement a monitoring and reporting program.

The purpose of this PLAN is to assist the Veolia staff in complying with the water quality standards, PPP,

and the provisions ofthe general permit when discharging water from the vaults.

c) Pollution Prevention Team

o Team Head: Carlos Del Cid, Director of Operations

o Email : [email protected]

o Phone: 909-612-2743

G)veOLIA ENERGY Page4

o Team assistant: Graham Rowe, Operator

o Email : [email protected]

o Phone: 323-879-0110

o PLAN Originator: Tina Heath, EHS Corporate Director

o Email: tina [email protected]

o Phone: 909-614-2701

The Veolia Team also includes all of the Veolia personnel working on the dewatering of the vaults.

Members of the team are responsible for developing, maintaining, revising, and implementing this

PLAN.

d) Employee Training

Veolia's personnel are fully trained before performing work in vaults. Their training includes, but not

limited to:

o Vault pumpout procedures and logs, BMS-03-EP-0100-CA

o Basic operating procedures

o Safety procedures and issues

o Proper traffic safety procedures

o Good housekeeping practices

o Spill management procedures

o Confined space entry and confined space non-entry rescue

These training courses are conducted via various means: PowerPoint, webinar, in-person face-to-face,

and videos and is coordinated/overseen by head of the Pollution Prevention Team. The employees are

trained on the specifics of the PLAN including the procedure to fill out the pumpout logs. Records of

the employee training will be maintained at the Veolia Los Angeles Office.

e) Annual PLAN Revision, Evaluation, and Report

Veolia shall amend the PLAN whenever there is a change in construction, operation, or maintenance, when such amendment is necessary to ensure compliance with the California State Water Resources Control Board issues General NPDES Permits for Discharges from Utility Vaults and Underground Structures to Surface Waters, Order No. 2014-0174-DWQ, NPDES CAG990002 and receiving water limits. The PLAN shall also be amended if it is in violation of any conditions of this General Permit or has not achieved the general objective of controlling pollutants in discharges to surface waters. The Discharger shall submit the amended PLAN to the Regional Water Board .

Veolia shall conduct an overall evaluation of the effectiveness the PLAN in controlling the discharge of pollutants during a discharge event and revise or replace the PLAN as necessary to address procedures and PPP. During this evaluation period, Veolia will analyze the yearly representative vault water discharge for the parameters listed within PERMIT, Attachment C, Table C-1.


Veolia shall submit an Annual Report (for the period from May 1 through April 30) no later than June 151

of each year during the term of this PERMIT.

II. Potential Pollutant Sources

a) Vicinity and Drainage Maps

The vaults covered within this PLAN are located in the Downtown Los Angeles Area. Vicinity and

Drainage maps and an example vault diagram can be found within Appendix A. The corresponding City

of Los Angeles stormwater drain runoffs travel to the ocean.

Under normal operations, the materials in the vaults are not likely to contaminate the water. However,

because the vaults are not watertight, they can co llect from ra infall and landscape runoff. In most

cases, this water is clean, but may contain traces of petroleum products (residue left on the roads: oil,

grease, gasoline, etc.), organic matter, mud and pesticides and other pollutants.

b) Inventory of Exposed Materials

Most vau lt water is found to be free of substantial pollutants and is not treated prior to discharge. If

significant or haza rdous contaminants are detected during the on-site water testing as described in

Veo lia Procedure Vault Pumping Procedure, BMS-03-EP-0100-CA, prior to dewatering, licensed

contractors wi ll transport and properly dispose of the contaminated water.

c) Spills and Leaks

Veolia has had rare treated process water leaks in association with the dewatering of the vau lts within

the past t hree years. However, the discharged water testing has been performed by third party

laboratories and no hazardous pollutants were found. The PLAN w il l include a record of any spills or

leaks of hazardous pollutants on t he appropriate logs.

III. Discharge Provisions and Procedures Veolia must dewater the subsurface vaults to protect equipment or for safety reasons prior to

performing repair and maintenance of the equipment located within the various vau lts. The water is

manually pumped from the vau lt. The volume of discharge from each vault varies and may range from a

few hundred ga llons to a few thousand ga llons depending on the size of the vau lt, the weather and/or

the maintenance activity.

a) Pumpout Procedures

Veo lia uses the company's Procedure Vault Pumping Procedure, BMS-03-EP-0100-CA, attached in

Appendix B of the PLAN, to pumpout the vaults. Prior to discharging waters, Veolia personne l will use


the Veolia Pump Out Checklist, to determine if the water can be discharged in compliance with the

NPDES PERMIT and this PLAN. Only waters which pass this test will be discharged.

b) Scheduled Discharges

Veolia does not regularly schedule discharges from the underground vaults. If a scheduled discharge

were to occur, the practices as outlined within unscheduled discharges would be implemented.

c) Unscheduled Discharges

The majority of the discharges from the underground vaults are unscheduled. Water accumulates in

these structures overtime and is dewatered as necessary for maintenance or repair. The frequency of

discharge is dependent on the rate and frequency that the water is entering the vault. These vaults

need to be dewatered before field work can occur.

Unscheduled discharges would be contro lled utilizing the practices described in this PLAN and Veolia

Procedure Vault Pumping Procedure, BMS-03-EP-0100-CA

d) Emergency Discharges

In emergency situations involving an immediate threat to human life, serious property damage and/or

catastrophic events, Veolia's Management shall take the required action to enter the vault and

discharge the untested water. If an emergency discharge were to occur, the practices as outlined within

unscheduled discharges would be implemented and the event documented.

e) Reservoir Discharges/ Automatic Discharges

Veolia does not discharge into reservoirs. Veolia only has one vault that is fitted with automatic sump

pumps. This vault, #9, is located in the basement of a building and does co llect landscape runoff on

occasion. Even though the vault is controlled by the building property owners, Veolia regularly inspects

the vault, coordinates any maintenance, and discuss pumping activity with the owners.

IV. Risk Identification and Pollution Assessment Since the vaults are not air-tight, contaminants can enter from outside sources. External contaminants

can include traces of petroleum products (oil, gasoline), oil and grease, organic matter, mud, silt,

pesticides, and other pollutants. These contaminants are from residue matter left on the streets and

within ground/landscaping. Typically, discharge waters are free from significant contaminants.

Accidenta l spills or leaks by outside parties (illegal dumping, traffic accidents) are possible, though

unlikely and their risk is low since the vault lids are secured.

The distribution piping contained within vaults contains insulation material around the pipe and may

contribute very small amounts of particulates matter to the discharged water. As the piping is routinely

maintained and monitored, the risk of contaminating the discharge water is small.


a) Past Sampling Data and Pollution Assessment

The discharged waters have been tested by third party laboratories. The past data water testing results

confi rm that the pollution concern is extremely low.

b) Vector Control

Vector control is required for stagnant, room temperature standing water to discourage the breeding of

insects, such as mosquitoes. Since Veolia operates a district heating plant, the high temperature water

loops piping heats the vaults in excess of 100• F. This temperature is too hot for insect breeding. Thus,

Veo lia does not need to administer chemical pesticides in the vaults.

c) Future Pollution Assessment and Sampling

Veolia personnel will sample the vault discharge water in accordance to Attachment G of the PERMIT,

Discharge Characterization Study 1. In addition, Veolia will sample the discharge water for the

constituents listed within PERMIT, Table 3 to help gauge the effectiveness ofthe existing PLAN annually.

V. Pollution Control Measures and Prevention Practices

a) Good Housekeeping and Preventive Maintenance

Veolia has policies in place which address housekeeping, inspections and preventative maintenance. The vaults and other sub-surface structures are kept clean and free from known contaminants. The sites are ·periodically checked during maintenance for any defects {deposits, leaks, cracks, etc.).

The Veo lia personnel is required to prepare the site in accordance with standard Veolia policy and practices, including work zone safety. Prior to discharging, the personnel is required to set up all safety equipment and don all necessary personal protective equipment including, but not limited to, safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves, high visibility traffic warning vest, etc. These procedures are covered within Veolia Internal Procedure regarding work zone safety, BMS-01-SP-023.

Prior to entrance into the vault by the workers, the atmosphere must be tested, the vault must be purged, continuous ventilation must be provided, and the atmosphere must be continuously monitored as long as the workers remains in the vault. These procedures are covered in the Veolia Interna l Procedure Permit required Confined Space, BMS-01-SP-002.

b) Pollution Control, Spill Prevention and Response Procedures

Veolia's management has established a strict environmental policy that promotes increase awareness, motivation and involvement of the people in the organization. To aid in the pollution contro l, hazardous materials are not stored within Veolia's vaults and the lids to all vaults are secured into place and the vaults are not accessible to the general public.

Prior to any manual discharge, the waters are inspected prior to discharge to determine if they contain contaminants. Contaminated water will not be discharged. If an unexpected spill were to enter into a


vault or structure, the appropriate agencies would be immediately notified and the release would be addressed either by a qualified contractor or Veolia personnel according to the Veolia Internal Environmental Reporting Procedure, BMS-01-EP-014.

Any hazardous materials and/or waste would be contained and transported to an appropriate disposal facility by qualified personnel. Spill response equipment and supplies are available at Veolia Energy Bunker Hill Facility.

c) Sediment and Erosion Control

The vaults that Veolia manages under this PLAN are not in high risk areas for significant soil erosion. ·The personnel will follow the Veolia Vault Pump out Procedure No. BMS-03-EP-0100: Sections 7.2 to minimize the risk of sediment entering discharge water.

d) Management Runoff

Not applicable. No water runs off. It is trapped in the substructure which serves as a containment.

e) Inspections

Veolia personnel must inspect the integrity of vaults and structures to ensure they are in good working order and functioning properly. Any damage is documented and repaired as soon as possible. Prior to manually pumping out a vault or subsurface structure, t he personnel, or subcontractor, will conduct a visual inspection of the water in the vault to determine the presence of any obvious signs of contaminat ion (e.g., a sheen on top of the water, cloudiness, presence of physical objects, etc.). These procedures and required records are noted in Veolia Procedure No. BMS-03-EP-0100-CA: Section 7.0 and Procedure's Pump out Checklist-Exhibit A. Copies of these documents ca n be found within Appendix B of the PLAN.

Veolia personnel are instructed to contact their supervisor if the water fails preliminary screening. Only water that has passed the screening process will be discharged. If the water fails screen ing, prearranged licensed contractors are availab le to pump out, transport, and properly dispose of the contaminated water. It is the operation's and maintenance's responsibility to strictly adhere to the approved inspection procedures for dewatering of vaults and structures.

fl Waste Disposal

Veolia has interna l policies in place which addresses t he proper handling of the hazardous waste management, BMS-01-EP-009. Although Veolia does not store any haza rdous materials nor expect the need to dispose of hazardous waste during the pumpouts of the vau lts, the personnel will inspect the water prior to discharge to determine if they conta in contaminants.

VI. Record Keeping and Internal Reporting Procedures

Federal regulation requires that any oil spi ll into a water body be reported to the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 (24 hours). In add ition, Veo lia sha ll report sp ills to the appropriate local agency, such as the fire department at phone number 911 and the California Office of Emergency


Services located at phone number 1-800-852-7550. These actions are outline within the Veolia spill notification guidelines template and Veolia Interna l Environmenta l Reporting Procedure, BMS-01-EP-014.

During such an incident, Veolia will provide a description of incidents (such as spills or other discharges), along with other information describing the quality and quantity of discharges. The Company will then document the date and time of incident, weather conditions, duration and cause of spill/leak/discharge, response procedures, resulting environmental problems and persons notified.

Veolia will mainta in the PLAN records for five years at the facility and at the Los Angeles Office.


VII. Certification and Signature

I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction

or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather

and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the
