Outfall Reconnaissance Monitoring The why and how of testing direct sources into watersheds … Chris Jones, Richard Dewitt, & Leslie Schick

Our common cause… A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) or Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) require an Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination (IDDE) Program.

What is an Illicit Discharge? A discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater except permitted discharges and fire fighting related discharges 40 CFR (b)(2) – Unique frequency, composition & mode of entry – Interaction of the sewage disposal system & the storm drain system – Produced from “generating sites”

Dry Weather vs Wet Weather – Dry Weather could potentially contribute more pollutants than wet weather as sources could be: Sewage/septage washwater (aka gray water) Paints automotive waste Oils (including animal) landscaping irrigation

Storm drain systems empty directly into natural waterways (streams, rivers, and wetlands), and do not go to a water treatment plant. So, any pollution that makes its way into storm drains can damage the environment and pose risks to human health. Rain water can easily carry pollution from parking lots, streets, and lawns, such as litter, oil, or fertilizer into storm drains and from there into waterways that we use for drinking water, fishing, swimming and so on.

Could still have Illicit Discharges… Goal 2 - eliminate /correct Goal 1 - Identify Sources

Chris Jones on the “planning” stage of monitoring…

The Survey Phase: Table Top Reconnaissance Field Survey Mapping

Communities with Minimal, Clustered, and Severe Illicit Discharge Problems Table Top Basic Orientation Indentifying Key Areas

Identifying clusters help to identify pollution potential Commercial -Industrial Residential - Subdivisions

Field Survey Boots on the ground reconnoiter. Items needed, boots, water, map and pencil. Walk the banks, paddle a kayak, make a note on the map for each outfall (pipe) sticking out of the bank or flowing into the waterway.

Mapping Basic, take the information gained from the table top, and field surveys and pin it on a map. Utilize Geographic Information Systems or basic Google maps and pins.
