1. Storm Water Phase II Permits

2. Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act)
1972 – NPDES permits added to CWA
1987 – Regulation of Storm Water Added
1990 – Phase I permits (MS4s)
1999 – Phase II permits (small MS4s)
2004 – NOI & Plan ???

3. Phase II Permits Based on the 1990 census.
CSU’s originally fell into the Phase II group as “Non-Traditional MS4’s”.
Based on the 1990 census.
Campus population > 10,000.
and/or
Area population density > 1000 people per square mile.

4. Submittals Notice of Intent (NOI) & Campus Plans.
Application deadline will be at least 365 days after the MS4 General Permit adoption date (scheduled for April 30, 2003 SWRB meeting).
Submit NOI, SWMP, and Fee to RWQCB
SD Region 9 : (858)

5. Best Management Practices

6. Annual MS4 Permit Costs State Water Resource Board fee schedule:
Based on RWQB designation of CSU’s coverage.
Populations (Faculty, Staff, Students & Visitors)
Up to 10,000 = $ per year
Over 10K = $ per year
for the permit application fee

7. Generic Plan
Minimalist Plan - Minimum possible Best Management Practices (BMP’s)
Share writing- originated from CSUF, CSULB, CSUS, UC Presidents Office
Cost saving
Reduced operational workload
Attainable goals over the 5 years
Let SWRB or RWRB add BMP’s to plan after submittal.
Recommendation-to contact Regional board and get them involved in our plan from the beginning.

8. BMPs
Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the United States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.

9. BMP Resources EPA’s BMP Toolbox CASQA’s BMP Handbooks
CASQA’s BMP Handbooks
ASCE’s BMP Database
Others

10. Requirements
Reduce pollutants in storm water discharges to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) by implementing a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP)

11. Vision
Your SWMP is your vision for protecting water quality over the next five years and beyond

12. Along with BMPs, measurable goals, time schedules, and responsible persons define your program

13. SWMP 6 Minimum Control Measures as a basis for a SWMP
BMPs to address 6 Minimum Control Measures
Measurable Goals for each BMP
Time Schedules for each Measurable Goal

14. 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
Volunteers for stenciling, link on websites (PDC, RM&S and FAC) to the site that will be hosting the info on the implementation of the permit.
RM&S will promote local household hazardous waste events.

15. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Requirements
Storm sewer system map. RM&S will seek assistance from Facility Services for this.
An ordinance prohibiting non-storm water discharges
Plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges
Educate the public on the hazards of illicit discharges

16. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Requirements
Set up as program to identify pollutants, which will tell you what BMP’s to put in place. Prioritize these based on the type of community that you have. The EPA site has some good info about land use.
Hotline or weblink to inform enforcement party as to illicit discharges. Follow up process on these calls.
Touch base with local activities for consistency

17. Construction Site Control Requirements
An enforce ordinance to require erosion and sediment controls at construction sites
MS4 must require construction site operators to us BMPs
Site plan and BMP review
Public comments/complaints procedures
Site inspections and enforcement procedures

18. Construction Site Control
Boiler SWPP from CAL TRANS for BMP’s
Incorporate NEPA and CEQA stormwater quality specifications into our programs.
SWPP- should be part of bid package regardless of size of project. During bidding process of more than one acre have a brochure that mentions the state permit requirements
Go to EPA site in regards to land use

19. Many communities are similar, look at what they are doing
The permittee may rely on a SIE (e.g. Vallecitos Water District) to satisfy one or more of the permit obligations if the separate entity can appropriately and adequately address the storm water issues of the permittee.

20. Look at what you are already doing
Restaurant inspections
Household hazardous waste day
Handling complaints
Pollution Prevention Fair-outreach , distribute logo products not stuff that becomes trash.

21. Annual Reports due in 2004 Have you done what you said you would do?
In light of water quality, have you seen noticeable changes?
Are the BMPs you chose effective?
Are they implemented well?
Improvements?
Reporting form

22. Is what you are doing working?
Evaluation/Assessment Parameters
Use the information that you are gathering to help tailor your program
Ex: If you continually have to clean out a particular storm drains because of sediment, you should focus on construction activity in that drainage area

23. Iterative approach: Is what you are doing working?
Develop
Implement Assess
Iterative approach: Is what you are doing working?

24. Activity Examples
By the end of year one, we will cleanout 50% of the drop inlets. By the end of year two we will cleanout another 50%.
By the end of year one, we will adopt an enforceable ordinance prohibiting non-storm water discharges

25. Output Examples
By the end of year one we will produce two different brochures – one general and one targeting lawn and garden care
By the end of year two, we will have collected 5 tons of sediment/wk through street sweeping

26. Outcome Examples
There will be a 50% increase in the people surveyed who know the basics about MS4s between year one and year three
There will be a 25% decrease in the number of reported localized flooding incidents between years two and three (with some evaluation of rain data)

27. Impact Examples
25% reduction in trash collected at creek cleanup between years 1 and 2 and between years 2 and 3
2 degree decrease in water temperature between years 1 and 5 due to re-vegetation of riparian corridor

28. Measurable Goals
Reasonable - did you reach your goal Yes/No?. Do you have direct control over it? After implementation are they still reasonable?
Relevant – Are they related to water quality? Are they producing a behavior change?
Reaching- Do they meet the MEP?

29. Responsibilities at CSUSM
RM&S – plan submittal, public education and outreach component of permit & training coordination.
PD&C – construction project oversight & compliance (pre thru post construction).
Facilities – annual review, reporting, hardscape & softscape maintenance
Building Marshall (Recommendation)- compliance oversight & enforcement
Funding – 1st year: VP FAS, 2nd yr Facilities or VPFAS
Other sources that can be used: Utility budget, Parking, Projects.

30. Emergency Response
Prevent any materials other than rainwater from entering the storm drain system.
Fire Departments enjoy exemptions to this rule.
Facilities and RM&S responsible
New supplies have been purchased by RM&S for this purpose. Covers and dikes for storm drains
