Stormwater Management for Colleges and Universities • Phase II for Colleges and Universities • State Stormwater Programs • Industrial Facilities

Background1990 EPA Phase I Stormwater Program • Medium and Large MS4s (populations of 100,000 or greater) • Construction Activity Disturbing 5 Acres of Land or Greater • Ten Categories of Industrial Activity

Phase I Municipalities • Charlotte • Durham • Fayetteville/ Cumberland County • Greensboro • Raleigh • Winston Salem DOT Phase I

Background1999 Stormwater Phase II Final Rule • Operators of Small MS4s in Urbanized Areas and • Operators of Small Construction Sites

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Municipal separate storm sewer means a conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains) • Owned or operated by a State, city, town, county, college or university… • Designed or used for collecting or conveying storm water; • Which is not a combined sewer; and • Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Single buildings with stormwater runoff or a storm sewer that connects to a permitted Phase I or Phase II Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) is not included in the Phase II Process at this time.

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Does Phase II apply to non-standard MS4s that discharge to another permitted MS4 (i.e., NCDOT, Charlotte, Durham, Fayetteville/Cumberland County, Greensboro, Raleigh, or Winston Salem)?

It Depends MS4 that connects to another permitted Phase I or Phase II MS4 may be subject to Phase II, depending on the activities, potential exposure, the degree of regulation at the site, the system of conveyance and/or the stormwater runoff impact.
