INAFSM Twilight Seminar Compliance with the SWQMP-Part B requirements of Rule 13: Where to begin?

Rule Requirements Baseline Data Collection –Characterize all known receiving waters –Utilize existing or new information to describe chemical, biological, or physical condition of water (monitoring optional) 1

Rule Requirements Baseline Data Evaluation –Investigate land usage –ID sensitive areas –Review existing and available monitoring data –ID problem areas –Assess current structural/nonstructural BMPs 2

Rule Requirements On-Going Characterization Plan –Optional…depends on sufficiency of available data to draw conclusions and if more receiving waters will be identified On-going data collection summaries/evaluations submitted with corresponding annual report(s) 3 Baseline Data Evaluation Draw Conclusions Collect More Data

Rule Requirements Submit Part B within 180 days of NOI letter submittal…most due by May 3, 2004 Include the completed Part B checklist (state form #51275)

Agency Expectations IDEM wants to see: –A baseline “snapshot” of the water quality in each receiving water (or a plan to do it) –An evaluation of the MS4 area to determine where improvements need to be made and where BMPs should be utilized –Documentation that an opportunity for the public to give feedback and suggestions was provided

Agency Expectations IDEM does not want to see: –Volumes of water quality data (the data should be maintained by the MS4 operator, and available for review)

Surface Water Quality Monitoring Strategy GOALS Measure the physical, chemical, bacteriological, and biological quality of the aquatic environment in all river basins and identify factors responsible for impairment Assess the impact of human or other activities that occur in all river basins and the probable effects of these activities on the quality of the dynamic ecosystem and drinking water source protection Identify trends through the analysis of environmental data from a variety of sources and make recommendations for the protection of designated uses of the surface water resources of the State Provide environmental quality assessment to support the water quality management program in partnership with customers and stakeholders

Surface Water Quality Monitoring Strategy is the Assessment Branch “Business Plan” to Measure, Assess, Identify and Provide Information on the Quality of: » Surface Water » Sediments » Macroinvertebrate Communities » Fish Communities » Fish Tissues » Habitat » NPDES Effluents
