In urban areas, sampling strategies for storm water runoff from industries and municipalities are of specific importance. The United States Federal Storm Water Regulations of 1990 specify protocols for such storm water nmoff sampling. These regulations define two separate samples that must be collected when a storm occurs. A first-flush sample is to be collected during the first 30 min of the storm event. A flow-weighted composite sample must be collected for the entire storm event or at least the first 3 h of the event [8].

Federal regulations (40 CFR 261) classify acrylonitrile as a hazardous waste and it is Hsted as Hazardous Waste Number U009. Disposal must be in accordance with federal (40 CFR 262, 263, 264), state, and local regulations only at properly permitted faciUties. It is Hsted as a toxic pollutant (40 CFR 122.21) and introduction into process streams, storm water, or waste water systems is in violation of federal law. Strict guidelines exist for clean-up and notification of leaks and spills. Federal notification regulations require that spills or leaks in excess of 100 lb (45.5 kg) be reported to the National Response Center. Substantial criminal and civil penalties can result from failure to report such discharges into the environment.

For obvious reasons attending effective enforcement, the CWA does not regulate nonpoint sources such as storm water runoff through the permitting mechanism. Rather, 319 mandates state programs for runoff management... 

As discussed earlier, storm water management for site development is regulated and requires adequate storage on-site for specific storm events. This is usually handled with open basins or rain gardens designed to deal with required volumes from these events.
