Clean Water Act – It’s about the streams
Primary purpose of the CWA: • Protect the beneficial uses of surface waters (recreational, drinking supply,
habitat, etc.)
The primary pollution control strategy for point sources is the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
![Page 5: MS4 Program Management · 1/19/2020 · • “2013 PAG-13” – Limitations on Coverage (part 2.j) • “2018 PAG-13 (draft)” – Discharges Not Authorized (item 6) “The discharge](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070912/5fb3e02c291cb845773d16ee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Primary MS4 Permit Requirement
Authorization to Discharge • 2018 PAG-13 – Discharges Not Authorized (item 6)
“The discharge is not, or will not, result in
compliance with an applicable effluent limitation
or water quality standard.”
The operator must, at a minimum, develop, implement, and enforce a SWMP designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the MS4: • to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), • to protect water quality, and • to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean
Water Act. [40 CFR 122.34(a)]

But remember…
From PRP review letter:
• Protocol 1: Bank Erosion Reduction
• Protocol 2: Nitrogen Processing
• Protocol 3: Treatment of Upstream Runoff
![Page 34: MS4 Program Management · 1/19/2020 · • “2013 PAG-13” – Limitations on Coverage (part 2.j) • “2018 PAG-13 (draft)” – Discharges Not Authorized (item 6) “The discharge](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070912/5fb3e02c291cb845773d16ee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Protocol 1
• Estimate of Existing Bank Erosion Rates – BANCS Assessment – Monitoring
• Bank Pins • Cross Section Surveys
– “Alternative Monitoring Approach”
• Estimate Nutrient Loading Based on Sediment Loading Rate – 2.28 lb N/ T Sed – 1.05 lb P/ T Sed – Or use Soil Test Results
![Page 35: MS4 Program Management · 1/19/2020 · • “2013 PAG-13” – Limitations on Coverage (part 2.j) • “2018 PAG-13 (draft)” – Discharges Not Authorized (item 6) “The discharge](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070912/5fb3e02c291cb845773d16ee/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Protocol 1
• BANCS (Bank Assessment for Non-Point Source Consequences of
Sediment)
– BEHI (Bank Erosion Hazard Index) – Susceptibility of the stream bank to erosion
– NBS (Near Bank Shear Stress) – Erosive forces experienced by the stream bank
– Bank Erosion Rate = Fxn(BEHI, NBS)

Protocol 2
• Nitrogen Processing in the Hyporheic Zone

Protocol 3
• Filtration of upstream runoff – Occurs when overbank flow is less than 1’ deep – Statistical analysis of runoff response of continuous rainfall
data set – Removal efficiency is derived based on % of annual rainfall
treated – Limited by area ratio of active floodplain area to watershed
area
• Typically represents less than 5% of total sediment reduction

Brubaker Run Summary
• Township required sediment reduction: 708,386 lbs/yr
• Planning estimate for Brubaker Run sediment reductions: 493,850 lbs/yr
• “Actual” sediment reductions for Brubaker Run: 790,821 lbs/yr
• Appropriate project implementation process has led the township from needing multiple projects to achieve required reductions to ONE project.

Another Restoration Example: Herr Mill Bridge
• Stream restoration/streambank stabilization project on private property included in three PRPs (joint project between 2 townships and 1 borough).
• Planning stage estimate: • 900 feet of restored stream and stabilized streambanks • 900’ x 115 lbs/ft = 103,500 lbs sediment (total reduction)
• Original planning estimate for reductions (share of reductions):
• WLT: 60% of reductions (62,100 lbs, nearly satisfies total reduction required) • ELT: 27.5% of reductions (28,463 lbs, satisifies total reduction required) • SB: 12.5% of reductions (12,938 lbs, contributes portion of reductions needed)
• Reportable total sediment reductions achieved (post-Protocols): 198,000 lbs: • WLT: 118,800 lbs • ELT: 54,450 lbs • SB: 24,750 lbs
• Design/permitting/construction: $230,000 ($1.16/lb. reduction)
• Maintenance: first 3 years (ELT), landowner will then assume responsibilities

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)
A polychlorinated biphenyl is an organic chlorine compound with the formula C₁₂H10−xClₓ. Polychlorinated biphenyls were once widely deployed as dielectric and coolant fluids in electrical apparatus, carbonless copy paper and in heat transfer fluids.
Other “common” POC’s: • Benzene(s)
• 1,2-dichlorobenzene • Ethylbenzene • 1,12-benzoperylene
• Phenol(s) • 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2-4-D) • 4-nitrophenol
• Methyl compounds • Methyl bromide
…and on and on and on

Changes to PRPs
A PRP only needs to be advertised and a public comment
period conducted if a project(s) that will achieve reported
reductions was not in the original PRP.

General Guidelines for MS4 Collaborative Efforts
• Written agreement (Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement) • Scope of agreement
• Complete PRP implementation or individual BMP implementation) • Roles and responsibilities
• Project selection process, contracting and/or consultant selection processes, long-term O&M, adaptive management, etc.
• Allocations of cost and pollutant reductions • Methodologies described
• Schedule (timeline(s) for implementation) • Other ICL agreement requirements
As long as BMPs are implemented in MS4 planning area(s) and address the pollutant(s) of concern, the pollutant
reductions afforded by the BMPs may be shared between collaborating MS4s.
![Page 112: MS4 Program Management · 1/19/2020 · • “2013 PAG-13” – Limitations on Coverage (part 2.j) • “2018 PAG-13 (draft)” – Discharges Not Authorized (item 6) “The discharge](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070912/5fb3e02c291cb845773d16ee/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Joint Approach – share of costs & reductions
Cost Contribution Sediment Reduction “Credits”
TOTAL $200,000 30,000 lbs/yr
Municipality A $100,000 (50% of total) 15,000 lbs (50% of total)
Municipality B $40,000 (20%) 6,000 lbs (20%)
Municipality C $60,000 (30%) 9,000 lbs (30%)
Say you have a $200,000 project in a HUC-10 watershed that provides a reduction of 30,000 pounds of sediment, and three municipalities will jointly plan and implement the joint project. The following table shows how they are assigning “credits,” and it is directly proportional to the amount of money thrown into the pot by an individual municipality:

SWMPs Simplified Summary
• The MS4 Permit is an Authorization to Discharge (ATD) based on the requirements of the CWA (uses, WQ criteria, anti-degradation policy)
• Develop the SWMP framework before addressing MCMs…identify what the system is discharging
• The elements of the SWMP (including MCMs) are based on the SWMP framework and pollutants of concern
• Document, document, document
