contacts listed below under Information Sources will help you locate the information you need. Storm
water programs should be designed to address the specific needs of the community and water
resources they are intended to protect. If you haven't done so already, collect information on your city's
receiving waters and what pollutants and sources are impacting those waters. You should also know th
various uses of your receiving waters so you can design a program to protect those uses. Complete a

at a minimum, must address the following:
SW103380 Procedures for locating priority areas.
SW103390 Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge, including the specific techniques permittee will
use to detect the location of the source.

The permittee may also develop a list of other similar occasional, incidental non -storm water discharge
that will not be addressed as illicit discharges.
These non -storm water discharges must not be reasonably expected (based on information available t(
the permittees) to be significant sources of pollutants to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System,
because of either the nature of the discharges or conditions the permittee has established for allowing
these discharges to the permittee's MS4 (e.g., activity with appropriate controls on frequency, proximity
to sensitive waterbodies, BMPs).
Does the Stormwater Management Program document local controls or conditions placed on dischargE
and a provision prohibiting any individual non -storm water discharge that is determined to be contributii
significant amounts of pollutants to the permittee's MS4?
No
Root Cause : Stormwater management plans and/or procedures are not established
Plan of Action: We need to first identify these control and condition, then add them to our plans. Then WE
will monitor to ensure these control stay in place.

Stormwater Management Program describe how the permittee plans to inform businesses and the
general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste?
No
Root Cause : Stormwater management plans and/or procedures are not established
Plan of Action: We do have staff able to identify illicit discharges, we also have informational material
available to the public. As of now we have not reached out to local businesses.
Mechanisms would need to be added to distribute and monitor information given to these
businesses.

SW103730
Does the Stormwater Management Program establish and publicize a reporting mechanism for the
public to report illicit discharges?

land how to report illicit discharge.
Does the Stormwater Management Program establish an illicit discharge management tracking system
