Agenda
• Background on the Small MS4
General Permit
• Overview of the District’s Storm
Water Management Plan
(SWMP)
• Implementation Plan and Next
Steps
• Questions
Background
• In 1999, the U.S. EPA promulgated the Phase
I storm water regulations for large MS4s, and
for industrial and construction activities to
reduce storm water pollution.
• An MS4 is a large Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (i.e. a storm water conveyance
system or system of conveyances, including
roads, curbs, gutters, catch basins, channels
and storm drains) serving populations of over
100,000 people.
• Within California, the federal storm water
regulations are being implemented through
MS4 permits adopted by the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the
local Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB)
So…What is this Small MS4
General Permit About?
• The large MS4s owned and operated by the
County of San Diego and each existing city
therein are already permitted and regulated.
• On April 30, 2003, the SWRCB adopted a
General Permit for Small MS4s serving
populations of less than 100,000 people.
• School districts and community colleges are
considered “non-traditional” Small MS4s.
• The General Permit requires that school districts
and community colleges apply to be permitted
within 180 days after being designated by the
RWQCB.
Why are Small MS4s Being
Regulated?
• Urban runoff has been identified as a
major source of surface water pollution
in the United States
• Urban runoff can contain sediment,
nutrients, pathogens, petroleum
hydrocarbons, heavy metals,
herbicides, and other pollutants
• Urban runoff from new development
can impact natural vegetation, increase
runoff volumes and velocities, and
result in greater pollutant loads in
surface waters
What Must School Districts Do
To Be Permitted?
• Submit a Notice of Intent (NOI)
• Prepare and submit a Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP)
 Describe Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to address
Six Minimum Control Measures and
reduce pollutant
discharges to Maximum Extent
Practicable (MEP)
 Establish Measurable Goals
 Identify Responsible Individuals
You’re Not In This Alone
• SDCOE SMS4 Storm Water Group was
Created in 2002
• Developed a Template Storm Water
•
•
•
•
Management Plan for district adoption
Provides annual training meetings
Provides annual visits to assist with districtspecific concerns
Compiles district’s annual report
