The SWPPP / SOP includes (among other things): implement low impact development (LID) stormwater management into projects to the maximum extent practicable, adhere to municipal regulations (all municipalities in Chester County have adopted and are implementing the County-wide Act 167 Ordinance requirements), comply with the requirements and plans approved by the Chester County Conservation District, and conduct routine inspection and maintenance of County-owned PCSWM facilities. Sanctions and enforcement is not applicable to Chester County activities; however Chester County requires all contractors working on County property to comply with applicable components of the County SWPPP / SOP. For new permittees only, attach a copy of the ordinance or SOP. 2. If you are not a new permittee, has the ordinance (or SOP) been submitted to DEP with a letter from an official, engineer or solicitor that certifies the enactment of an ordinance or SOP for PCSM activities? Yes No 3. Do you have authority to take enforcement action for failure to properly operate and maintain stormwater practices/facilities? Yes No BMP #5: Develop and implement measures to encourage and expand the use of Low Impact Development (LID) in new and redevelopment. Measures also should be included to encourage retrofitting LID into existing development. DEP s Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual provides guidance on implementing LID practices. Measurable Goal: In your inventory of development and redevelopment projects authorized for construction since March 10, 2003, that discharge stormwater to your regulated MS4s, indicate which projects incorporated LID practices and for each project list and track the BMPs that were used. Measurable Goal: Enact ordinances consistent with LID practices and repeal sections of ordinances that conflict with LID practices. Progress with enacting and updating your ordinances to enable the use of LID practices shall be summarized in the periodic reports. 1. Identify ordinances enacted or updated during the reporting period to ensure consistency with LID practices: Post Construction Stormwater Management Ordinance requirements are not applicable to Chester County per the letter to Ms. Jenifer Fields (January 9, 2014) attached to the Year 1 Progress Report. Instead the County implements it SWPPP / SOP as previously described. BMP 6: Ensure adequate operation and maintenance of all post-construction stormwater management BMPs installed at all qualifying development or redevelopment projects (including those owned or operated by the permittee). Measurable Goal: Within the first year of coverage under this permit, new permittees shall develop and implement a written inspection program to ensure that stormwater BMPs are properly operated and maintained. The program shall include sanctions and penalties for non-compliance. All permittees shall review and update the inspection program annually and shall continue to implement this BMP

26 Exhibit I Narrative Permit # PAI Chester County, PA Water Quality Information Year 2 and 3 Progress Report The table located on page 1 of the MS4 Annual / Progress Report form entitled Water Quality Information requires the permittee to indicate whether or not a TMDL and a WLA have been established for each receiving water body associated with the permittee s regulated outfalls. For the Chester County MS4 June 2017 Year 2 and 3 Progress Report, the following rationale was used for making these determinations for regulated outfalls located in the Brandywine Creek watershed. Certain other outfalls located in other watersheds drain to receiving waters that are impaired. For some, TMDLs have been developed for their entire watershed and thus, do not require detailed explanation. These are therefore excluded from this narrative. Two stormwater (high-flow) TMDLs have been established for the Christina Basin and each covers only a portion of the Brandywine Creek watershed: Total Maximum Daily Loads for Bacteria and Sediment in the Christina River Basin, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland (9/7/2006) Revisions to Total Maximum Daily Loads for Nutrient and Low Dissolved Oxygen under High- Flow Conditions, Christina River Basin, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland (September 2006) For the Sediment TMDL: Figures 4-3 and 4-4 (pgs 4-13 and 4-14) indicate: o the 35 subbasins used for the TMDL modeling o the 9 subbasins that had streams listed as impaired by sediment as of 1996 and 1998 (respectively); these are the only subbasins for which high-flow sediment TMDLs were calculated Table 4-7 (pg 4-15) indicates: o The 9 subbasins for which sediment TMDLs were calculated and the allocations for each of those subbasins (B01, B04, B05, B06, B09, B14, B15, B20, and B31) o None of the remaining 26 subbasins have sediment TMDLs For the Nutrient TMDL: Figures 0-1 and 0-2 (pgs 4-2 and 4-3) indicate: o The 35 subbasins used for the TMDL modeling o The 14 subbasins that had streams listed as impaired for nutrients and low DO as of 1996 and 1998 (respectively); these are the only subbasins for which high-flow nitrogen/phosphorus TMDLs were calculated Table 4-3 (pg 4-8) indicates: o The 14 subbasins for which Total Nitrogen and Total Phosporus TMDLs were calculated and the allocations for each of those subbasins (B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B06, B09, B10, B17, B18, B19, B32, B33, and B34) o None of the remaining 21 subbasins have Nitrogen or Phosphorus TMDLs Collectively: The following 18 subbasins have nitrogen/phosphorus and/or sediment TMDL(s): B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B06, B09, B10, B14, B15, B17, B18, B19, B20, B31, B32, B33, and B34 Page 1 of 2

27 The following 17 subbasins do not have any TMDL: B07, B08, B11, B12, B13, B16, B21, B22, B23, B24, B25, B26, B27, B28, B29, B30, and B35 For the Chester County MS4 June 2017 Year 2 and 3 Progress Report: Those outfalls discharging to streams located within a Christina subbasin for which a high-flow sediment, nitrogen and/or phosphorus TMDL was calculated are listed as having a TMDL Those outfalls discharging to streams located within a Christina subbasin for which there is no high-flow sediment, nitrogen or phosphorus TMDL are listed as having NO TMDL The accompanying map illustrates the following, which indicates which Chester County MS4 outfalls discharge to a receiving water for which a TMDL has been established: the municipalities within the Brandywine Creek watershed the 35 Christina subbasins the 9 subbasins that have a sediment high-flow TMDL the 14 subbasins that have nitrogen and phosphorus TMDLs the 17 subbasins that have no TMDL the location of Chester County s regulated MS4 outfalls located within the Brandywine Creek watershed Page 2 of 2

34 Chester County s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program Only Rain in the Drain! Chester County Government is committed to protecting and improving water quality in our streams. All County lands and buildings drain to streams that eventually drain to either the Delaware Bay or Chesapeake Bay. Clean streams are vital to our local communities, natural resources and economy, and will help restore both Bays. Stormwater runoff and its pollution are widespread water quality problems, and have degraded over 55% of the streams within Chester County. Chester County s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program has been designed to achieve the following goal: CHESTER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS' PRIORITIES AND GOALS (2014, EXCERPT) Manage Stormwater & Flooding: Citizen Benefit - Managing stormwater reduces the impacts of runoff and flooding, avoiding or lessening damage to infrastructure, harm to the environment and threat to public safety. Improve Water Quality: Citizen Benefit - Improving and protecting the quality of streams in the County provides clean water, preserves natural habitat and reduces flood issues. The improvement of local streams leads to an improvement in the health of the regional watershed ultimately impacting the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Improve and protect the water quality of streams, lakes and waterways that receive runoff from County properties by: Reducing stormwater runoff volume and pollution that is created on, and discharged from, Chester County lands and facilities. Increasing the awareness and involvement of County employees and visitors to County facilities regarding the importance of reducing stormwater pollution, and how they can contribute to protecting our streams, lakes and waterways. What is Stormwater? Stormwater is water that originates during rain events and snow/ice melt. It can soak into the soil (infiltrate); evaporate, or runoff and end up in nearby streams. This run off, and the pollution it picks up as it flows, is the main contributor to water quality pollution in Chester County. How Does Stormwater Pollution Reach Our Streams? Stormwater runs off roof tops, sidewalks, driveways, roadways, parking lots, yards, etc. Sometimes it flows directly into streams that run through our valleys. In developed areas, this runoff drains to streets, then enters storm drains, flows through underground stormwater sewer pipes, and eventually discharges to streams. Thus, all particles, trash, cigarette butts, pet waste, lawn chemicals, de-icing salts and chemicals, vehicle fluid droppings, and everything else that accumulates on the pavements and land surfaces are carried by the stormwater into the streams. Graphic courtesy of Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Environmental Protection. How Can You Help Protect our Local Streams? County employees can pitch in and help protect the local streams and lakes! Here are a few simple things that, collectively, can make a big difference in keeping our waterways and water supply sources clean, safe and healthy:

35 1. Nothing but rain in the drain! Never pour or throw trash, liquids or any substance into a storm drain. These drains are directly connected to the local stream! And it's against the law!! 2. Cigarette butts, coffee/ drink cups & lids, snack wrappers, plastic drink bottles - don't drop these on the ground or in parking lots! All wash to the streams. Keep a small bag in your car for trash and dispose of it when you get to a recycle or trash can. 3. Fix car fluid leaks - repairing leaks from your car's fluids helps avoid vehicle chemicals from collecting on parking lots and being washed into storm drains, then into streams during rain events. 4. Pick up pet waste - pet droppings contain bacteria and parasites as well as nutrients, all of which create water quality problems. Pet waste left to decay can be washed into streams and storm drains. 5. Put trash in its place! Whether at the library, a County office building, a park or a trail, place all trash and waste in trash receptacles. It will be carried by stormwater through storm drains and into local creeks and streams. 6. Participate with other employees in the County-Sponsored Spring Stream & Grounds Clean-Up that prevents litter from entering the County s stormwater sewer system that is connected to Goose Creek. 7. Report Illegal Dumping! Spilling, disposing or discharging of any substance into a storm drain is illegal. Call to report this to the County if you witness something being discharged into or in the immediate vicinity of a storm drain on any County property. Some additional things you can do to help reduce pollution and protect streams: Avoid Using Salt for De-icing Salt from de-icing is rapidly becoming a widespread water pollution problem. It dissolves and is carried into streams, storm drains and infiltrates into groundwater. Automobile Care Wash your vehicles at a commercial facility. Here wash water is treated and must be directed to the sanitary sewer that goes to the local wastewater treatment plant, or captured for proper disposal. Maintenance Keep it Clean! Never pour or throw things down storm drains. They are directly connected to the local stream. Support Your Local Watershed Conservation Organization Program Overview Chester County s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program is a comprehensive response to reducing the County s impact on streams and waters of the County. These actions are intended to eliminate or minimize impacts from County operations and facilities on the water quality of our waters. The County s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program has six (6) elements that when implemented together, reduce pollutants generated and discharged from County properties: 1. Public Education & Outreach 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 2. Public Participation 5. Post-Construction Runoff Control 3. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination 6. Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping For More Information To learn more about Chester County s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program visit Who to Contact?
