Session 1 Outline

1. Session 1 Outline So, What’s this all about? • Overview of Phase II • What is expected? • What should we be doing today? • What are others doing? • Suggested steps to move your program forward

2. Overview of Phase II Time Line Perspective of the NPDES Regulatory Process Today- June 2004 NPDES Phase II Issued NPDES Phase II Drafted NPDES Phase I Drafted NPDES Permit Implemented 1972 1977 1986 1991 1999 2003 20042008…. Clean Water Act- Revised Clean Water Act- Initial • What’s Expected Tomorrow: • Permit Renewal • Total Maximum Daily Load • Sampling/Monitoring • Water Quality regulations

3. Overview of Phase II Overview of Phase II NPDES Phase II- What is Required and Who is Required: • 6 Minimum Control Measures • Measurable Goals • Maximum Extent Practical (MEP) • Annual Reports: 2004 - 2008 OEPA Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System – General Permit. www.epa.state.oh.us/dsw/permits/GP_OHQ00001.pdf

4. Overview of Phase II Review of 6 Minimum Control Measures • Public Education and Outreach • Public Involvement and Participation • Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination • Construction Site Run-off Control • Post-Construction Run-Off Control • Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

5. Who is Required? • Total Regulated NPDES Phase II entities- 453 • Rapidly Developing Entities – 69 (11- County’s, 27-villages/City’s, 31-Townships) • General Permit Entities- 384 - Allen -  Auglaize -  Belmont -  Butler -  Clark -  Clermont -  Cuyahoga -  Delaware -  Erie -  Fairfield -  Franklin -  Geauga -  Greene -  Hamilton -  Jefferson -  Lake -  Lawrence -  Licking -   Lorain    -   Lucas -   Mahoning -   Medina -   Miami - Montgomery -   Ottawa -   Portage -   Richland -   Stark -   Summit -   Trumbull - Union -   Warren - Washington -   Wayne -    Wood

6. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) – What can you expect going forward? • Regulatory Update: • Rule still awaiting approval signature from Director • Rapidly developing entities have received regulatory comments • - Summary of comments • Estimated date for all general entities to receive comments- 9/1/04

7. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) – What can you expect going forward? Regulatory Update Going Forward Issues: - Upon rule signature- enforcement may increase. - First permit ends 2008 - Annual Reports- 2004, ’05, 06, ’07 and ’08 - Potential sampling/monitoring in 2nd term permit. - Increased number of TMDL’s in place. - Increased enforcement at local level?

8. Storm Water Management – What is Expected? What does the permit require? Illicit Discharge Elimination Program Storm Water Management Plan Best Management Practice Implementation 2003 Annual Report OutfallInventory Tracking and Reporting Best Management Practice Appropriateness Assessment Home Sewer Treatment System Inventory

9. Storm Water Management- What’s Expected? Storm Water Management Plan • Completed- awaiting regulatory comment • Should serve as “Road map” for implementation and reporting • BMP’s can be added, can not be deleted • How should I be using this manual? • What if I do not implement plan commitments?

10. Storm Water Management- What’s Expected? Annual Report • Report on plan progress • Address compliance with stated measurable goals and schedule issues • Report on BMP activity • Provide BMP quantitative data as available • Provide rationale on limits of BMP activity

11. Storm Water Management – What’s Expected Outfall and Home Sewer Treatment System (HSTS) Inventory • Storm water outfall inventory • Exhibit knowledge of your system • What should I collect in my Inventory? • HSTS inventory requirements • How are others performing this task? • Should I be started already? Potential Inventory Elements: Outfalls Catch Basins Detention/Retention facilities Open channel outfalls

12. Storm Water Management – What’s Expected Illicit Discharge Elimination Program • System Inventory outfall map • Process/Procedures for detecting and eliminating illicit discharges • Best Management Practices • Reporting of removals • Assistance from others

13. Storm Water Management – What’s Expected Best Management Practice Implementation • What have I done already? • Based on my SWMP schedule what should I be doing? • Where are others, with their implementation? • Am I doing all I can do?

14. Storm Water Management- What’s Expected Tracking and Reporting • What should we be tracking/recording? • How should we be tracking? • Is it expensive to track/record information? • Is this a short term activity?

15. Storm Water Management – What’s Expected BMP Appropriateness Assessment • What do this mean? • How do I get started? • How frequently do I need to do this? • What do I do with the results?

16. Overview of Phase II- Ohio Environmental Protection Agency- (OEPA)Red Flags Potential OEPA red flags: • Due-diligence • Non-submittal of annual report • Non-responsive to OEPA plan comments • No inventory activity • No positive program movement forward

17. What Do I Do Next? Workshop Guidance Topics • Strom system map tools • Approaches for Identifying illicit discharges • Model regulations for construction/post-construction • Construction/post-construction Do’s and Don’ts. • Good housekeeping/pollution prevention tools • Keeping track of it all • Public education tools • Keeping costs down • Helpful resources

18. Overview of Phase II Recap Topics Covered • Regulatory history • 6 Minimum Control Measures • Expectations of Phase II requirements • Workshop topic summary Are we more confused?
