) PREFACE SWMP Overview Regulatory Requirement Phase I of the u.s. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) municipal storm water program was promulgated in 1990 under the authority of
the Clean Water Act (CWA). Phase I relied on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to address storm water runoff from medium and large municipal
separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), serving populations of 100,000 or greater. The Storm Water Phase II Final Rule (promulgated December 8, 1999) was the next step in the EPA's efforts
to preserve, protect, and improve the nation's water resources from polluted storm water runoff. The Phase II program requires additional operators (small MS4s in urbanized areas) to
implement programs and practices to control polluted storm water runoff, through the NPDES permit program. The program requires Phase II municipalities to develop a Storm Water Management
Program. The purpose of this document is to present a model Storm Water Management Program that can be used as guidance by Phase II municipalities to develop the required programs. TurnerCollie(0'&ad

Minimum Control Measures To meet the federal regulations, a municipality's Storm Water Management Program must provide minimum control measures for the following subject areas. Public
Education and Outreach On Storm Water Impacts Public education and outreach is a major key to the success of a storm water management program. Through public education, people will gain
an understanding of how their actions can affect storm water quality and become more informed about storm water quality issues in their community. MS4s will start to gain more support
for their management programs both politically and financially as the public awareness grows. Public education is also able to perpetuate itself. As an individual becomes more informed
about a topic of concern, they will inform others in their community. This aids the municipalities' efforts to educate the public, thus making resources available for other tasks. Also,
when the public is aware of the impacts that they have on their surroundings, they gain a sense of responsibility for those actions. This can lead to greater compliance for the storm
water management program. When the public makes an effort to comply with the management program, the program will have a greater positive effect more quickly. Many public education methods
are available. Some examples of methods that are used include: • Distributing brochures or fact sheets • Sponsoring speaking engagements before community groups • Providing public service
announcements • Implementing educational programs targeted at school age children • Conducting community-based projects such as storm drain stenciling, and watershed and beach cleanups
MS4s are also able to utilize storm water education information available through the state, tribe, EPA, or other organizations in their education program. The public education program
should target several different areas. First, individuals and households should be educated on how to maintain their homes in an environmentally friendly manner. This includes proper
fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide use; proper waste disposal; and proper septic system maintenance. The program should also inform the public on how to get involved in restoration
activities and other conservation groups. Finally, the program should target commercial, industrial, and institutional groups, which may have business activities that could cause a significant
impact to the storm water quality of the MS4. TurnerCollie0'Braden Inc. v 
The SWMP objectives should be: • Inform individuals and homeowners of steps they can take to improve storm water quality. • Educate commercial, industrial, and institutional groups about
the impacts of their work on the storm water quality and the steps needed to reduce these effects. • Address the viewpoints of ali economic and ethnic groups in the design of the education
program. Public Involvement/Participation Public involvement/participation is important for the development of the storm water management program. By encouraging input from all economic
and cultural groups, there can be beneficial impacts to the development of the program. One such benefit is that early and frequent public input can lead to a shorter implementation
schedule and greater support for the program. As with public education, people who take an active roll in the development of the program also feel a sense of responsibility for the program's
success. For this reason, people may be less likely to challenge the MS4's program, which can lead to delays and hinder the program's success. Finally, with a larger number of people
involved in the development of the program, there are more opportunities to gain expertise from these individuals and cooperation with other programs or governments in that watershed.
These added resources can improve the success of the program. Members of the community can get involved in several ways. Possibilities for participation include serving as citizen representatives
on a local storm water management panel, attending public hearings, working as citizen volunteers to educate other individuals about the program, assisting in program coordination with
other pre-existing programs, or participating in volunteer monitoring efforts. The objectives should be: • Include the public in the development, implementation, and review of the storm
water management program. • Include input from all economic and cultural groups. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination The illicit discharge detection and elimination minimum control
measure is intended to reduce improper waste and management practices. A study by the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) found that a little less than half of the water that is discharged
from a MS4 during dry weather conditions was not directly related to storm water runoff. These dry weather discharges were found to have pollutant levels high enough to Significantly
impact the water quality of the receiving water TurnerCollie@'Bradenlnc. vi 
bodies. It is believed that most of the flow during dry weather conditions is due to illicit and/or inappropriate discharges and connections to the MS4 such as mistaken or deliberate
connections of wastewater lines to the MS4. The MS4 may also receive the illicit discharge through an indirect connection such as infiltration into the MS4 or spills flowing into storm
drains. There are four parts to this minimum control measure. The first part is to develop an MS4 map that identifies all outfalls and the name and location of all waters of the United
States that receive the discharge from the outfalls. The second part of the illicit discharge and elimination control measure is to prohibit the discharge of nonstorm water discharges
to the MS4 through regulatory avenues and to develop a means to enforce these regulations. The third part is to execute a plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges. Dry weather
screening is one method for localizing illicit discharges in MS4s. Finally, the public should be be educated about the hazards of improper waste disposal and non-storm water discharges.
The educational component may include storm drain stenciling; a program to promote, publicize, and facilitate public reporting of illicit connections or discharges; and distribution
of outreach materials. The objectives should be: • Develop procedures to locate areas suspected of having illicit discharges. • Develop procedures to track down the source of an illicit
discharge. • Develop procedures to remove the illicit discharge. • Develop procedures to evaluate the programs performance. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control Construction
site storm water runoff control is a minimum control measure designed to address the pollution of storm water runoff from construction sites. Activities that are performed on construction
sites usually disturb a large amount of land and generate large amounts of waste. This has been found to lead to high levels of sediment, phosphorus, nitrogen, pesticides, petroleum
derivatives, construction chemicals, and solid wastes in receiving streams. Several actions must be taken under this minimum control measure to deal with these pollutants. First, construction
sites must be required through regulations or ordinances, to establish erosion and sediment controls. A mechanism to enforce compliance must also be established with the regulation or
ordinance to ensure that the necessary controls are implemented. This may include non-monetary penalties, fines, bonding reqUirements, and permit denials. Next, the MS4 must establish
the necessary requirements for erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) and methods to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout,
chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste. This will serve as guidance for construction site operators to establish control measures appropriate to their activities and size. Finally, the
MS4 must establish procedures for site plan TurnerCollie0Braden Inc. vii 
review, receipt and consideration of public input, and inspection and enforcement of controls. The objectives should be: • Develop erosion and sediment control and waste control requirements
for construction sites. • Develop procedures for site plan review to ensure consistency with local erosion and sediment control requirements. • Develop procedures for receipt and consideration
of public input. • Develop procedures for inspection and enforcement to include identification of priority sites based of characteristics such as nature of the construction activities,
topography, and the characteristics of soils and receiving water quality. Post-Construction Storm Water Management In New Development and Redevelopment Post-construction storm water
management in new development and redevelopment focuses on implementation of controls that will try to maintain good water quality conditions after an area has been developed or after
construction. This minimum control includes three parts. First, the MS4s are required to develop and implement structural and non-structural BMPs. Many studies have shown that it is
much easier and more cost-effective to control pollution at its source rather than after it enters into an MS4. For this reason it is important to consider BMPs that may be needed for
post-construction pollution control prior to the construction of an area. Minimization of impervious areas, wetland protection, and vegetated drainage ways are some of the controls that
may be considered for use during the design of a new development or redevelopment project. The BMPs that are chosen should be appropriate for the community that it is to serve, minimize
water quality impacts, and try to maintain pre-development runoff conditions. Second, regulations and ordinances will be created to establish requirements for post-construction runoff
from new development and redevelopment projects. Third, the MS4 needs to develop a mechanism to ensure that there is long-term operation and maintenance of the BMPs. The objectives should
be: • Develop and implement structural and non-structural BMPs. • Develop ordinances or regulations for runoff from new development and redevelopment projects. • Develop a mechanism
to ensure long-term operation and maintenance of the BMPs. TumerCollie<f1Braden Inc. Vlll 
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping For Municipal Operations Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations is a minimum control measure designed to emphasize the
operation and maintenance of MS4s and proper training of municipal employees. Performing municipal activities in a careful and proper manner prevents or reduces pollutant runoff. Municipal
operations include parks, golf courses and open space maintenance; fleet maintenance; new construction or land disturbance; building oversight; planning; and storm water system maintenance.
The following items should be considered when developing this program: • Maintenance activities • Maintenance schedules • Long-term inspection procedures for structural and non-structural
storm water controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from the separate storm sewer • Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from streets,
roads, highways, municipal parking lots, maintenance and storage yards, fleet or maintenance shops with outdoor storage areas, salt/sand storage locations disposal areas, and waste transfer
stations • Procedures for properly disposing of waste removed from the separate storm sewers and areas listed above (such as dredge spoil, accumulated sediments, floatables, and other
debris) • Ways to ensure that new flood management projects assess the impacts on water quality and examine existing projects for protection devices or practices The objectives should
be: • Develop and implement good housekeeping practices . • Develop and implement an employee training program. TumerCoIlie<9'BradenInc IX 
Definitions (40CFR122) BMPs (Best Management Practices) -schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce

Document Organization This model Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) is organized to aid development and implementation of the programs required by the Phase II Storm Water Regulations,
and to aid incompletion of permit notification documents (NOl) and tracking progress for the Annual Reports. Part I of the Storm Water Management Program provides background information
on the municipality. Following the municipality's background description, the required six minimum control measures (MCMs) are addressed in Part II of the Storm Water Management Plan.
For each minimum control measure, the following are discussed: Regulatory Requirement The specific regulatory citation from EPA's final regulations on the Phase II stonm water program
(64FR235, December 8, 1999) is provided for each minimum control measure. Selected BMPs A description of the best management practices the municipality will implement to address the
regulatory requirement. Descriptions of example BMPs for each MCM are provided in the corresponding appendices (The municipality is not limited to these examples.) Measurable Goals (MGs)
The municipality must designate a measurable goal for each BMP. Sample MGs are provided with the sample BMPs in the corresponding appendices. Schedule The implementation schedule for
each BMP is described. Responsible Persons The person or position responsible for implementation of each BMP is provided. These information items are required elements identified by
EPA to be part of the SWMP that supports the General Permit Application (Notice of Intent, NOl) to the TNRCC. The information is presented in a manner that will aid implementation of
the SWMP and documentation of progress in the required Annual Report. The Appendices provide a menu of example best management practices for each minimum control measure from which the
municipality can select. TumerCollie0Braden Inc. xii 
Implementation Plan to Prepare for Permitting The following are suggested steps to prepare for implementation of a Phase II MS4 permit. They are discussed more fully on the following
pages. 1. Familiarize key Municipality staff with the program requirements (based on the EPA requirements in the December 8,1999, Federal Register). 2. Evaluate the Municipality's current
status toward addressing the minimum control measures, and identify gaps and opportunities. 3. Identify opportunities to adopt existing Phase I programs or to team with other municipalities
on a regional approach for the entire permit (copermittees) or specific programs to maximize efficiency of implementation. 4. Determine method of public involvement in the process of
developing the Municipality's Storm Water Management Program (advisory committee, public meetings, etc.). 5. Identify required BMPs and other suitable BMPs the Municipality could implement.
6. Identify a team leader responsible for each BMP's implementation. 7. Determine a schedule for implementing each BMP. 8. Develop draft Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). 9. Include
public involvement in review of the draft SWMP. 10. Review and comment on TNRCC's draft permit requirements for a Phase II MS4 permit in Texas. 11. Determine resources, funding, and
legal authority needed to implement the SWMP. 12. Acquire resources, funding, and legal authority needed to implement the SWMP. 13. Review TNRCC's final permit requirements for a Phase
II MS4 permit in Texas (permit must be issued by December 9, 2002). 14. MS4s must develop a SWMP, fill out an application (NOI) and submit both within 90 days from the effective date
of the permit. 15. Implement SWMP on or before March 10, 2003. 16. Prepare required Annual Reports. TurnerCollie(0Braden Inc. xiii 
These steps are discussed more fully below. 1. Proqram Requirements The Phase II MS4 permit program requirements were published by EPA in the December 8, 1999, Federal Register (64FR235).

2. Current Status Evaluation The following checklist will assist in evaluation of the Municipality's current status toward the Phase II MS4 storm water permit requirements: , Question
Information Contact/Phone SETTING: What is the Municipality's population? • Describe local topography, . hydrology, climate, rainfall, etc. Are there existing runoff I management programs/policies?
Does the Municipality have zoning, land use planning? ORGANIZATION/STRUCTURE: What is the Municipality's management structure? : Is there a Municipal Attorney? INSPECTION/ENFORCEMENT:
What is the Municipality's legal authority to regulate runoff issues? Do existing ordinances address runoff issues or illicit discharges? Are there wastewater or discharge inspectors?
i Are there building inspectors? Is there a Code enforcement group? INFRASTRUCTURE/MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS How is street maintenance Ihandled? Is the existing drainage system mapped? Is
there a need to expand mapping to other utilities? TurnerColJie@Btadenlnc. xv 
\, INFRASTRUCTURE/MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS -continued Is there a need to i nteg rate other data into the mapped/GIS system for other administrative uses? Is there an interest to combine/establish

3. Identify Opportunities to Adopt/Ieam Identify opportunities to adopt existing Phase I programs or to team with other municipalities on a regional approach for the entire permit (co-permittees)
or specific programs to maximize efficiency of implementation. Public education, illicit discharges, construction, and post-construction controls are program areas that lend themselves
to joint local efforts. 4. Public Involvement Public involvement can include public meetings, advisory committees, presentations, as well as various volunteer participation opportunities.
Typically, an advisory committee would include representatives of the regulated community that will be impacted by the areas covered by the minimum control measures: • Public education
• Public Involvement • Illicit discharges • Construction • New development/redevelopment • Municipal operations 5. Identify BMPs Some required BMPs are identified in the EPA regulation.
Additional BMPs will need to be Identified to fully implement the Phase II storm water permitting requirements. See the model SWMP appendices for example BMPs. The example BMPs and the
sources below are provided for information only and not as an endorsement. Applicability for BMPs must be established locally and address site specific needs. Other sources of ideas
for BMPs include: Texas Nonpoint Source Pollution Assessment Report and Management Program. October 1999. Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission and Texas State Soil and Water
Conservation Board. Preventing Nonpoint Source Pollution -A Guide to Pollution Prevention for Small Businesses. June 1998. Galveston Bay Estuary Program and Galveston County Health District.

all at once or in phases over the 5-year term of the permit. The municipality can propose its own schedule. Following are some of the items that should be considered In developing the
schedule for each BMP: a. Does the BMP need to be started earlier than 2003 to coordinate with other Municipality projects, priorities? b. Are there BMPs that need to be coordinated
with each other (at the same time) or need to follow each other? c. Are there funding or resource considerations that affect when the BMP can be implemented? d. Is the BMP being implemented
by several parties that need to coordinate their schedules? e. Should the BMP implementation be spread out over the entire period of the permit (20% per year)? TumerCollie@Bladenlnc.

XIX 8. Develop draft Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) The template Model Storm Water Management Program will assist the municipality in developing a Storm Water Management Program.
For each minimum control measure (public education, public involvement, illicit discharges, construction, new development/redevelopment, municipal operations) possible BMPs will be described
and schedules and responsible parties listed. 9. Determine resources, funding and legal authority needed Review of current status (See Step 2) and identification of required and additional
BMPs (Step 5) to be implemented may indicate a need for additional resources, funding and/or legal authority for the municipality. 10. Review and comment on TNRCC's draft permit requirements
TNRCC will be holding stakeholders meetings on the Phase II Municipal Permit during late 2001 and 2002. Draft versions of the permit will be available for review and comment during that
period. Interested municipalities should comment at that time. The final TNRCC permit is due in December 2002. 11. Involve public in review of SWMP Advisory committee, public meeting,
distribution of SWMP for comments, or other similar process. 12. Acguire resources, funding and legal authority Review of current status (See Item 2) and identification of required and
additional BMPs to be implemented may indicate a need for additional resources, funding and/or legal authority. These will need to be acquired to timely implement the scheduled BMPs
in the SWMP, 13. Review TNRCC's final permit requirements EPA's schedule indicates that TNRCC will have its General Permit for Phase II municipalities finalized in December 2002. These
final requirements for permit implementation should be reviewed by the municipality. TurnerCollie<9Braden Inc. 
14. Finalize SWMP The SWMP must be finalized, based on the final TNRCC General Permit in order to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for permit coverage by March 8, 2003. The permit goes
into effect March 10, 2003. 15. Implement SWMP The Municipality must begin implementing the SWMP, on or before March 10, 2003. 16. Prepare required Annual Reports Based on the final
TNRCC General Permit requirements, information must be collected for preparation of an annual report of progress in implementing the SWMP. TumerCollie@Btadenlnc. xxi

CHI SYSTEMS, Ltd SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Re: EPA NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program MS4 Permit ManagerTM Dear Sir or Madaam: As you know, the EPA and many State Regulatory Agencies have recently
promulgated the NPDES Phase II MS4 Storm Water Rule and Permit. This rule affects many municipalities and entities located within the 2000 "Urbanized Area" as defined by the U.S. Census
Bureau. The federal mandate requires the affected municipalities to obtain NPDES permit coverage for the discharge ofstormwater from the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4)
to waters ofthe U.S. Permit compliance was required by March 10, 2003 but could vary from state to state depending on the State Permitting Authority. Compliance with this rule includes
not only the submission ofa comprehensive storm water management program (SWMP) but also the implementation of the program perpetually. Critical records documenting the permit implementation
must be kept and reported annually in an annual report. CBI Systems, LTD has developed the MS4 Permit ManagerTM software package to aid affected municipalities in the creation ofthe
storm water management plan (SWMP) and the implementation of the program. This software' package will allow the user to develop a comprehensive customized storm water management plan
complete with measurable goals, implementation schedules, and proposed budgets. The user has maximum flexibility in the choosing ofBMP's. A map system is also included which will allow
the user to develop an integrated municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) map. The map comes complete with urbanized area coverage, base hydrology, roads, and highways. The permittee
may enter storm water outfall locations graphically or by latitudellongitude and quickly generate the required outfall location map. All records generated during implementation are stored
in a database which will allow the user to automatically create an annual report that is required to be submitted at the end ofeach year during the permit term. The annual report is
created in rich text format (RTF) which provides fur the manipulation ofthe document in any word processor. A feature will be added to this package in the near future that will provide
for electronic submission of the annual report. Additionally, the back end database for the application is open which will allow trained GIS users to link data to an existing GIS or
perform other data access needs. CBI Systems, Ltd. is offering the MS4 Permit Manager™ software package on a trial basis with deferred payment options. The trial period will extend to
the due date for the first annual report. This will allow permittees to utilize the MS4 Permit ManagerTM package to manage their MS4 permit for the first permit year and develop the
firstannual report. At that time, permittees will have the option ofeither purchasing the software package or allowing .1120 Fannin St. .P1wae: (409) 8.35-.1095 &aument, TX 77701 Fax:

Beaumont will be making of their "Phase II MS4 Permit Manager" software on Wednesday, July 16 at 1 :30 p.m. at the COG offices, 616 Six Flags Drive, Arlington. Reservations are not necessary,
but it would be helpful if you could let us know if you plan on attending the presentation. As was mentloned in the earlier email announcement, the software package is designed to assist
MS4 owner/operators wlth developing and managing a storm water management plan and other aspects of permit compliance. This type of software is becoming more prevalent and some have
found it quite useful. It is the same software that was presented at the TX DOT-Dallas District (Jim Crisp's office) back in February. Please Please visit http://www.cbi-svsjems.comlto
leam more about the "Phase II MS4 Permit Manager". COG staff have not fully evaluated it and are not recommending or endorsing it in any way but simply wanted to provide you an opportunity
to examine it for yourselves.

Design Manual for Construction The integrated Storm Water Management (iSWM) Design Manual for Construction is the source for guidance on construction site storm water management in the
North Central Texas Region, The ,SWM Design Manual for Construction contains a stepwise methodology for creating an effective storm water pollution prevention plan for construction sites
and detailed information for the deSign, installation, and maintenance of practices to reduce the release of sediment and other pollutants resulting from construction activities, The
Design Manual for construction is also intended to assist public and private entities in compliance with the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Permit for Construction

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Design and Implementation The construction Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is the primary tool for reducing erosion and preventing
sediment loss from a construction site along with the control of construction related chemicals and wastes. The SWPPP consists of a written description (narrative) and drawing sheets
that detail the existing conditions and the control methods to be employed on a construction site. The steps involved in developing an effective construction SWPPP include collection
and analysis of physical site information followed by design and development of the narrative and drawing components of the SWPPP. Data Collection and Analysis Gathering information
on site conditions will aid in the development of an effective construction SWPPP. The information should be documented and explained in the narrative and/or shown on the drawings. Conditions
to be evaluated include: • Topography (slope, particularly steep slopes) • Drainage features (existing natural drainage patterns, swales, streams; and existing storm drain pipes) • Soils
(soil type, erodibility, etc.) • Ground cover (trees, shrubs, grasses, etc.) • Critical areas (steep slopes, wetlands, floodplains, streams, lakes, etc.) • Adjacent areas (existing roads,
buildings, etc.) • Precipitation (average rainfall amount and intensity during anticipated construction period) Construction SWPPP Development After collecting and analyzing the data
to determine the site limitations, the designer can then develop the construction SWPPP. The steps outlined in the Ten Elements of a Construction SWPPP present a logical sequence for
preparing a comprehensive storm water pollution plan based on the site conditions and sound erosion and sediment control practice. Ten Elements of a Construction SWPPP The Ten Elements
provide a framework for proper SWPPP design, and are also intended to encompass the requirements of the TPDES Construction General Permit. Each of the Ten Elements must be considered
and included in the SWPPP, unless site conditions render the step unnecessary. 1. Limit Soil Disturbance -To the greatest extent practicable, limit the ex1ent of clearing operations
to preserve native topsoil and natural vegetation. Also, preserve natural drainage features and buffer areas. Provide measures to be implemented to ensure protection. 2. Prevent Soil
Erosion -Provide temporary and permanent stabilization practices for disturbed areas of the site. 3. Protect Slopes -Provide practices to protect slopes and divert flows away from exposed
soils or disturbed areas. 4. Minimize Sediment Loss from Site -Provide practices to lessen the off-site transport of sediment and to reduce generation of dust. Sediment basins are required,
where feasible, for common drainage locations that serve an area with ten or more acres disturbed at one time. 5. Control Flow Rates and Stabilize Channels/Outfalls Provide velocity
dissipation devices used at discharge locations and channel stabilization measures to provide non-erosive flows. 6. Establish Construction Access -Provide measures to minimize the off-site
tracking of sediment by vehicles. 7. Protect Drain Inlets -Provide inlet protection measures to prevent sediment from entering the storm drain system. 8. Control Dewatering -Provide
controls to prevent the offsite transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants in discharges from dewatering operations. 9. Control Waste and Pollutants -Provide practices and
controls to reduce pollutants and spill prevention and response procedures associated with construction and waste materials. 10. Construction PhaSing and Project Management Consider
project phasing in order to reduce the amount of soil exposed at one time. Inspection and Maintenance of BMPs Most Best Management Practices used to limit erosion and reduce sediment
loss on construction sites are temporary devices. Inherent in the design of the devices is the need for maintenance. The devices will not perform at peak efficiency throughout the duration
of the construction project without inspection and necessary maintenance. All BMPs must be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended
function. Whenever inspection reveals that the BMPs identified in the construction SWPPP are inadequate, the SWPPP must be modified accordingly in a timely manner. BMPs must then be
added or modified in accordance with SWPPP changes.
