1 Phase II National Storm Water Regulations What’s in it for you?

2 Permitting and Reporting: The Process and Requirements San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board Staff Contacts: Marin: Marla Lafer – mll@rb2.swrcb.ca.gov Napa: Tobi Tyler - TT@rb2.swrcb.ca.gov Solano: Stephen Berger - SLB @rb2.swrcb.ca.gov Sonoma: Carmen Fewless - CRF @rb2.swrcb.ca.gov

5 PHASE II PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Develop, Implement & Enforce a storm water management plan (SWMP) to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Address 6 program areas. Select BMPs and identify measurable goals for each of the program areas. Evaluation & Assessment. Monitoring & Reporting.

6 6 Program Areas 1.) Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts 2.) Public Involvement / Participation 3.) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4.) Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control 5.) Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment 6.) Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations

7 Public Education and Outreach Distribute educational materials to the schools and community or conduct other outreach activities about the impacts of storm water discharges on water bodies and the steps that the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff. Existing programs have already developed strategies and materials that could form the basis of this effort.

8 1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts

9 Public Involvement and Participation Provide opportunities for the public to participate in program development and implementation. This could include: –Citizens being represented on local storm water management panels or attending public hearings. –Citizen volunteer programs to educate others about storm water runoff pollution. –Citizen monitoring programs.

10 2. Public Involvement and Participation

11 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Develop, implement, and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges. At a minimum, the program must include: – A storm sewer system map showing the location of outfalls and names and locations of all waters of the US/State that receive discharges from those outfall –An enforceable mechanism(s) to prohibit non-storm water discharges into your storm sewer system. –A program to detect and address non-storm water discharges, including illegal dumping, into your system –An education component.

12 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

13 Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control The municipal permittee must develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff to your municipal storm sewer system from construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. At a minimum, the program must include: A regulatory mechanism (e.g. ordinance or other enforceable mechanism) to require erosion and sediment controls. Requirements for construction site operators to implement best management practices for sediment and erosion control and control of wastes (e.g., concrete, chemicals, and litter). Procedures for site plan review, inspection, and enforcement of control measures.

22 Impacts of Urbanization Loss of Natural Vegetation Increased Impervious Surface Increased Pollutant Loads Increased Volume and Velocity of Storm Water Runoff Degradation and Loss of Stream Functions

23 Post-construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment The municipal permittee must develop, implement, and enforce a program to address long-term storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale. At a minimum, the program must include: Strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non- structural Strategies that include a combination of structural and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for your community. A regulatory mechanism (e.g. ordinance or other enforceable mechanism) to address post-construction runoff from new development and redevelopment projects. Adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs.

27 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Implement a training program to educate municipal operators on pollution reduction and prevention from municipal operations. Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs.

28 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

29 Vehicle Maintenance - Waste Reduction BMPs

31 Monitoring and Evaluation Requirements At a minimum, monitoring should include: Evaluation of BMP effectiveness Evaluation of program’s effectiveness Visual Observation Baseline characterization Additional monitoring may include: Representative physical &/or chemical sampling Participation in regional monitoring program

32 Annual Report Content Assessment & Evaluation of Program Assessment of Control Measures toward achieving measurable goals Results of information collected and analyzed, including monitoring results Activities to be undertaken during the next reporting cycle Changes in any identified measurable goal

33 Consequences of Noncompliance

34 Regional Board Enforcement, including: Administrative Civil Liabilities Third party law suits Loss of recreational uses of local waters Flooding Habitat Destruction Bad Karma

35 How to Comply Prepare Management Plan Secure Individual Permit by March 10, 2003.Or Prepare Management Plan Submit Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with the Statewide General Permit by March 10, 2003.
