StormwaterGenerated by runoff from land and impervious surfaces
such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops during precipitation events
Often contain pollutants in quantities that could adversely affect receiving water quality

Stormwater (contd.)Most stormwater discharges are considered point
sources and require coverage by an NPDES permit.The most commonly used method to control stormwater
is through best management practices (BMPs), including pollution prevention and source reduction (quantity and quality control).

What is an MS4?A municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) is a
conveyance or system of conveyances owned by a state, city, town, or other public entity that discharges to waters of the U.S. and is:designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwaternot a combined sewernot part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

been issued

Phase II CoverageCovers more than 5,000 smaller MS4s in “urbanized
areas”Urbanized areas based on decennial censusPermitting authorities can designate additional small
MS4s that are outside of urbanized areas Includes non-traditional MS4s (e.g. prisons, universities)Most states have small MS4 general permits in place;
municipalities seek coverage under the general permit.

CWNS Stormwater Facility TypesPhase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Phase I permits are required for municipalities in incorporated places or counties with populations of 100,000 or more.
Unit processes or BMPs designed to collect, treat, and transport stormwater for entities regulated under the NPDES Phase I permit process.
Only processes or practices that address water quality or public health problems are included in the CWNS.

CWNS Stormwater Facility Types (contd.)Phase II MS4
Phase II permits were required for small MS4s (population 99,999 or less) located in “urbanized areas” (UAs) as defined by the Bureau of the Census, and those small MS4s located outside of a UA that are designated by NPDES permitting authorities.
Unit processes or BMPs designed to collect, treat, and transport stormwater for entities regulated under the NPDES Phase II permit process.
Only processes or practices that address water quality or public health problems are included in the CWNS.

Minnesota
Innovative Methods from 2008Minnesota established a per-acre stormwater rate
according to the responses to their Stormwater Infrastructure Needs Survey (SWINS)
32 (of 209) communities provided cost estimates for future stormwater infrastructure needs
Developed average annual per acre rate for stormwater management
Applied to the all MS4 communities

Ohio
Innovative Methods from 2008
36
Ohio conducted a survey of all the MS4s in the stateIncluded cover letter to convey importance of submitting
information Historically, stormwater needs have been an underreported category. While there are
more than 260 municipal stormwater permittees in Ohio, stormwater infrastructure projects accounted for less than 1/10th of one percent of all reported needs in Ohio in 2004. This year, in an attempt to highlight its importance, stormwater needs are being surveyed independent of wastewater, which will be surveyed soon. If you are planning future stormwater projects, such as installing or repairing pipes and inlets; building wet ponds, bioretention areas, or swales; or purchasing equipment such as street sweepers and GIS systems, you should report these capital needs in the 2008 Needs Survey.
Used it to request information on projects and to gather documents
