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)

SoWhat 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.

5
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

6
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

7
Youre 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 district-
  specific concerns
• Compiles districts annual report
• Provides educational materials
