2. Agenda Background on the Small MS4 General Permit Overview of the District’s Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) Implementation Plan and Next Steps Questions

3. 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)

4. 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.

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. 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 district- specific concerns Compiles district’s annual report Provides educational materials

13. Next Steps Continued… SDCOE SMS4 Storm Water Group will assist with establishing district’s baseline BMP use via a survey for District completion beginning June 2006 (to be completed at annual visit). Annual Visits to Each District: November 2006 through March 2007. Annual SDCOE Small MS4 Meeting: May 2007. Designation of district by Regional Water Quality Board (RWQCB) for MS4 Compliance: Date Still Uncertain. Submit final Storm Water Management Plan and NOI within 180 days after being designated by the RWQCB. Receive RWQCB approval and Permit coverage. After being permitted, begin submitting annual reports by September 15 of each year. 13
