Municipal Program
Regulates storm water discharges from a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4)
MS4
A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains
Phase I
•Larger cities and counties are permitted through MS4 permits
•Require programs and procedures to be implemented by the municipality that
will reduce storm water pollutants in the runoff
Some schools are currently involved under Phase I
A Public Education Program is one aspect of a storm water management program and many include reaching out to classrooms, educating the students, and measuring the effectiveness of the outreach program
Phase II
A second phase of storm water regulations will broaden the world of Permittees to include smaller cities and counties as well as other governmental facilities
Phase II (cont.)
Currently there is a Draft Statewide General Permit for the discharge of storm water from Small MS4s, which can be found at:
www.swrcb.ca.gov/stormwtr/index.html
Regulated Small MS4s
School districts within cities and portions of counties that are subject to permit are defined as regulated Small MS4s
Permit Requirements
The permit requires the Permittee to address 6 minimum control measures (or program areas)
Permit Requirements (cont.)
For each minimum control measure, best management practices (BMPs) must be implemented that reduce the discharge of pollutants in storm water runoff and measurable goals for each BMP to ensure BMP development and implementation
Minimum Control Measures•Public Education and Outreach
•Public Involvement/Participation
•Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
•Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
•Post Construction Storm Water Management
•Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Public Education Requirements
Educate the public on The impacts of storm water
The steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff
Public Education Examples
Presentations
Worksheets
Field trips (in conjunction with other science lessons)
Public Participation Requirements
Comply with State and local public notice requirements
Allow the public to review and comment on the permit and SWMP
Involve the public in the implementation of SWMP
Public Participation Examples
Storm drain stenciling around the schools
Creek cleanups
Monitoring team
Demonstration wetlands on site
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Requirements
Storm sewer system map
An ordinance prohibiting non-storm water discharges
Plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges
Educate on the hazards of illicit discharges
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Examples
Implement program for trash reduction at school events
Train janitorial staff on prohibiting non-storm water discharges
Construction Site Control Requirements
An enforceable ordinance to require erosion and sediment controls at construction sites
MS4 must require construction site operators to use BMPs
Site plan and BMP review
Public comments/complaints procedures
Site inspections and enforcement procedures
Construction Site Control Examples
Use surrounding municipality’s program/requirements
Ensure that contractors follow requirements
Post-Construction Management Requirements
An ordinance requiring long term BMPs Capture and/or infiltrate
Design BMPs
On-going maintenance of BMPs
Post-Construction Management Examples
Use surrounding municipality’s program/requirements
Ensure that contractors follow requirements
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping RequirementsExamine municipal activities that have the potential to cause pollution in storm water
Implement BMPs to reduce that potential
Train employees
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Examples
Use proper amounts of fertilizer on grounds
Reduce pesticide use in conjunction with other state programs
Bus maintenance yards may already by covered under industrial program if all BMPs have already been implemented, reference existing SWPPP in SWMP
Coordination
In implementing the program, schools are encouraged to work with the surrounding MS4, especially:
•Existing education materials
•Construction/Post-Construction Programs
Permit Coverage
To obtain coverage under the General Permit, once adopted, a school district will submit a Notice of Intent to comply with the permit and a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP)
SWMP
Describes the BMPs to be implemented that address the six minimum control measures, the measurable goals to be achieved and a time schedule of implementation. A permittee has 5 years to fully implement a program, (assuming it is making reasonable progress throughout). In the case of schools, the SWMP should also identify all of the schools within the district.
