Public Information Awareness Updates Address Federal Clean Water Act Regulations for Our Community
In 1990 , updates to Federal Clean Water Act regulations established the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES ), requiring large construction sites , certain industrial facilities and municipalities with populations of 100,000 or more to obtain NPDES ( Phase I ) permits and develop storm water management plans .
In 1999 , NPDES Phase II was signed into law to build on the initial program . While Phase I applied to construction sites affecting five acres or more , Phase II required all individual land development projects that disturb one acre or more to obtain permits . Phase II also required small municipalities to obtain permits for their storm water discharges . Whether small or large construction site , industrial facility , or municipal separate storm sewer system ( MS4 ), each facility must now obtain a permit and implement and enforce a storm water management program . Polluted storm water runoff is commonly transported through Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems ( MS4s ), from which it is often discharged untreated into local waterbodies . To prevent harmful pollutants from being washed or dumped into an MS4 , operators must obtain a NPDES permit and develop a storm water management program .
• Phase I , issued in 1990 , requires medium and large cities or certain counties with populations of 100,000 or more to obtain NPDES permit coverage for their storm water discharges . There are approximately 750 Phase I MS4s .
• Phase II , issued in 1999 , requires regulated small MS4s in urbanized areas , as well as small MS4s outside the urbanized areas that are designated by the permitting authority , to obtain NPDES permit coverage for their storm water discharges . There are approximately 6,700 Phase II MS4s .
Generally , Phase I MS4s are covered by individual permits and Phase II MS4s are covered by a general permit . Each regulated MS4 is required to develop and implement a storm water management program ( SWMP ) to reduce the contamination of storm water runoff and prohibit illicit discharges .
