3 4. The MS4 has conducted analytical monitoring of storm water quality. Yes X No Explain below or attach a summary to submit along with any monitoring data used to evaluate the success of the SWMP at reducing pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. Be sure to include a discussion of results. C. Narrative Provisions. 1. Provide information on the status of complying with permit conditions: Permittee is currently in compliance with the SWMP as submitted to and approved by the TCEQ. Permittee is currently in compliance with recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Permittee meets the eligibility requirements of the permit (e.g., TMDL requirements, Edwards Aquifer limitations, compliance history, etc.) Yes No Explain X X X 2. Provide a general assessment of the appropriateness of the selected BMPs: Has the permittee determined that any of the selected BMPs are not appropriate for reducing the discharge of pollutants in storm water? Yes X No Provide explanation: Page 3 of 25

4 3. Describe progress towards reducing the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Summarize any information used (such as monitoring data) to evaluate reductions in the discharge of pollutants. Use a narrative description or table as appropriate: MCM BMP Parameter Quantity Units Does BMP Demonstrate a Direct Reduction in Pollutants? (Yes / No / Explain) Or, provide explanation below: The City of University Park has not instituted water quality monitoring / testing at this time and therefore has no method of determining whether the BMPs implemented thus far have had a direct effect on the pollutant load of the MS4 s receiving waters. We have implemented regular stormwater inlet and outfall inspections and cleanings which will allow the City to determine if the level of pollution, sediment, and / or obstructions in the storm sewer system have increased, decreased, or remain the same. Should there be a negative change or the inspections reveal the status of the system is static, the MS4 will reevaluate BMPs and request changes to the SWMP. 4. Provide a general evaluation of the program s progress, including any obstacles or challenges encountered in implementing BMPs, meeting the program s schedule, etc.: The City of University Park has encountered very few problems with the implementation of our SWMP. After initially attempting to work with the City of Dallas, a Phase I MS4, for construction inspections, the City of University Park opted to research, create, and implement its own construction inspection program. The construction inspection program was implemented near the end of Permit Year 3. While the City has no definitive evidence that the SWMP has reduced pollutant loads in the MS4 s receiving waters, public commentary has increased as a direct result of increased public outreach and education. 5. Provide the number of construction activities (other than those where the permittee was the operator) that occurred within the regulated area as indicated via notices of intent or site notices: 6. Does the permittee utilize the 7 th MCM related to construction? Yes X No Page 4 of 25

5 If Yes, then provide the following information: a. The number of municipal construction activities authorized under this general permit: n/a b. The total number of acres disturbed for municipal construction projects: n/a Though the 7 th MCM is optional, this must be requested on the NOI or on a NOC and approved by the TCEQ. 7. Requirements for Specific Minimum Controls Measures (MCMs): a. For MCM 1 - Public Education and Outreach, provide documentation of activities conducted and materials used to fulfill the requirements of this MCM This information is included in the Tables. b. Also for MCM 1, provide documentation of the amount of resources used to address each group (e.g., visitors, businesses, etc.) This information is included in the Tables. c. For MCM 3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), indicate whether you have developed a list of allowable nonstorm water discharges, other than those already listed in the general permit. If you have developed a list and have made any changes to the local controls, conditions and/or programs being established for discharges, include this information below. If you do not have any changes for this permit year, indicate that this item is not applicable. This item is not applicable. 8. Describe any proposed changes to the SWMP in the coming reporting year. The City awaits a new permit from the state in order to configure the upcoming years of our SWMP. 9. Describe any activities planned for the next permit year / reporting cycle. Activities for Permit Year 7 will consist of already established best management practices as well as new requirements of the state. Outreach and resident education will continue utilizing newsletter articles, informational brochures included in utility bills and available at City facilities as well as youth-centered material distributed at the public library and local schools. Updated presentations will be made to the City Council and certain advisory committees. The updated information will be available to residents on the City web site and during the annual public hearing. Permit Year 7 will see the continuation of review of 100% of construction site plans for potential water quality impacts. Page 5 of 25

6 The City of University Park will operate in Permit Year 7, as in Permit Years 5 and 6, with authorization to inspect and eliminate illicit connections to the storm sewer system on private property if the property owner fails to eliminate the connection upon notification by the City. The MS4 will utilize this authority in response to dry weather monitoring results if an illicit connection is indicated. Physical inspections of inlets and outfalls will continue. The City of University Park will continue to reference the regional iswm (integrated Storm Water Management) Manual developed by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The NCTOG, in cooperation with area cities and municipalities, developed the manual to facilitate implementation of watershed-based regional measures to address common goals such as water quality protection, stream bank protection, and flood mitigation. The iswm manual is a 958-page document which was reviewed by multiple departments for adoption in Permit Year 4. The MS4 will continue to monitor and review the upcoming changes to the NPDES permit to prepare for revisions and changes to its own programs as required by state and federal permitting authorities.

8 4. The MS4 has conducted analytical monitoring of storm water quality. YES NO 5. The MS4 is relying on another government entity to satisfy some permit obligations. YES NO 6. Is the named permittee sharing a SWMP with other entities? YES NO C. Storm Water Management Program Status. Provide the status of every BMP and measurable goal listed in the SWMP, as described in the instructions. Each MCM, but not necessarily each BMP, must include the measurable goals described in the SWMP. (Though an MS4 is not required to implement BMPs until the initial SWMP is approved by the TCEQ, the MS4 s initial annual report should include a description of what has been done to date, even if the SWMP has not yet been approved. The MS4 will receive credit for all BMPs implemented prior to and during the first permit year if they are described in the initial annual report.) The City of University Park has assessed the Storm Water Management Program for the sixth permit year and has complied with permit conditions. The City of University Park complied with planned measures for MCM 1, Public Education. Planned interactive presentations to University Park s 2 nd graders could not take place this permit year. Science teachers could not accommodate the presentations in their schedules. Outreach materials targeted towards both children and homeowners were distributed at the University Park Public Library and at the Utility Billing offices at City Hall. The City updated its web site, distributed storm water awareness materials to Southern Methodist University via utility bills and continued broadcasting storm water information on the City s cable channel. A timely article concerning storm water was published in the Arbor, the City s monthly newsletter, in July, and utility bill inserts were mailed to all business and residences in the City in August Page 8 of 25

9 MCM 2, Public Involvement and Participation, measures were successfully implemented throughout the permit year. Citizen Advisory Committees as well as the City Council were updated on the status of the City s SWMP and productive discussions ensued concerning the resident-focused aspects of the plan. For BMP 3.2, the City continues to be ahead of its implementation schedule with regards to identifying the specific locations of each outfall. All twenty (20) outfalls are mapped with relevant information such as GPS coordinates, visual images, and elevation and plan views. Storm water inlet mapping is complete and updates to the City s storm sewer system map have been ahead of schedule since implementation of the City s SWMP. The City contracted with an engineering firm that developed a comprehensive storm inlet map. Code enforcement officers underwent annual training on pollution related activities. In Permit Year 5, the City of University Park adopted an IDDE ordinance giving the MS4 authority to perform inspections and facilitate disconnections of illicit connections to the storm sewer system on private property. For MCM 4, Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control, the MS4 continues to implement procedures and inspections for construction sites regarding storm water pollution prevention. Inspection of the few construction sites in excess of one (1) acre were performed on a regular basis. Inspection personnel were trained and tested in Permit Year 4 resulting in Certified Compliance Inspector for Stormwater (CCIS) certifications. Training will take place again in Permit Year 7. Training webinars were also attended by construction inspectors. Erosion Control Inspections were performed on the initial inspection for all construction sites, regardless of size. Plans for non-municipal construction activities were reviewed for all construction projects with one acre or more of disturbed area as well as those with less than one acre. A total of 267 non- municipal plans within the jurisdiction of the City of University Park were reviewed for permits for new construction, additions, and remodels. For MCM 5, Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment, the City implemented the regional iswm (integrated Storm Water Management) Manual developed by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The NCTOG, in cooperation with area cities and municipalities, developed the manual to facilitate implementation of watershed-based regional measures to address common goals such as water quality protection, stream bank protection, and flood mitigation. The iswm manual is a 958-page document which was reviewed by multiple departments for adoption in Permit Year 4. Permit Year 5 Page 9 of 25

10 requirements called for facilitating implementation of the Manual. A periodic inspection of post-construction BMP s for sites one acre or greater will be developed and implemented in Permit Year 7. The City of University Park has contributed financially to the NCTCOG s iswm Manual development for the past 7 years. With regards to MCM 6, Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations, the City increased street and alley sweeping frequency. All other Best Management Practices were continued as previously designed. The City of University Park has not implemented testing of storm water and therefore has no method of determining whether the BMP s implemented thus far have had a direct effect on the pollutant load of the MS4 s receiving waters. We have implemented regular stormwater inlet and outfall inspections which will allow the City to determine if the level of pollution, sediment, and / or obstructions in the storm sewer system have increased, decreased, or remain the same. Should there be a negative change or the inspections reveal the status of the system is static, the MS4 will reevaluate BMP s and request changes to the SWMP. The following tables provide information used to assess the progress and effectiveness of the Storm Water Management Program. Table 1 provides the status of the BMPs and Table 2 provides the status of the measurable goals. A copy of this Annual Report has been submitted to the TCEQ Region 4 Regional Office in Fort Worth, Texas. Summary of Activities Planned for Permit Year 7 Without access to the final version of the updated Storm Water General Permit, we anticipate activities for Permit Year 7 to include continuing the City s outreach measures including newsletter articles, educational material mailed with utility bills, web site updates and informational material at the UP Library. Updated presentations will be made to the City Council. The updated information will be available to residents on the City s cable television station as well as during the annual public hearing and possibly the City web site. In Permit Year 7, 100% of construction site plans will be reviewed for potential water quality impacts. Page 10 of 25

11 The City of University Park will operate in Permit Year 7 with authorization to inspect and eliminate illicit connections to the storm sewer system on private property if the property owner fails to eliminate the connection upon notification by the City. The MS4 will utilize this authority in response to dry weather monitoring results if an illicit connection is indicated. Physical inspections of inlets and outfalls will continue. In Permit Year 4, The City of University Park adopted the regional iswm (integrated Storm Water Management) Manual developed by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The NCTOG, in cooperation with area cities and municipalities, developed the manual to facilitate implementation of watershed-based regional measures to address common goals such as water quality protection, stream bank protection, and flood mitigation. The iswm manual is a 958-page document which was reviewed by multiple departments for adoption in Permit Year 4. The MS4 will continue to monitor and review the upcoming changes to the NPDES permit to prepare for revisions and changes to its own programs as required by state and federal permitting authorities. Upon release of the revised Storm Water General Permit by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the City of University Park will draft a new SWMP and submit to the TCEQ for review and approval. SWMP Modifications and Additional Information The MS4 requests no changes to the implementation schedule for any BMPs in the SWMP. Page 11 of 25
