5 B. SWMP Modifications and Additional Information. Include a brief explanation if you check Yes to any of the following statements. 1. a. Changes have been made or are proposed to the SWMP since the NOI or the last annual report, including changes in response to TCEQ s review. Yes X No b. If Yes to the above, has the TCEQ already approved the original SWMP? X Yes No The original SWMP was approved in c. If Yes to the above, indicate whether an NOC (or letter) has been submitted to document the changes to the approved SWMP as required by the general permit. (Note that if an NOC is required, it must be submitted to the address shown on the NOC. Do not attach the original NOC form to this report.) Yes X No 2. The MS4 has annexed lands since obtaining permit coverage. Yes X No 3. A receiving water body is newly listed as impaired or a TMDL has been established. Yes X No 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.

6 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: The BMPs targeted toward illicit discharges are aiding in the continued development of the system in which illicit discharges are reported, monitored, and addressed. The storm water program has continued utilizing annual public education and outreach to educate constituents about storm water pollution and illicit discharges. The method of distribution of educational material has ensured that every home and business was given the opportunity to view the material. The District has learned that BMP s targeted toward education during the 5 year permit term may be the most likely source of reducing direct detriment to water quality. The District did not perform analytical monitoring of storm water quality. 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:

7 Or, provide explanation below: The District recognizes that education is paramount to the reduction of pollutants and continued to focus on those efforts. The development of a Storm Water Guidance Manual and the development of policies, systems, and procedures to monitor soil disturbing activity and storm water quality threats regarding water quality are likely the best avenue for any reduction in pollutants. Year 5 provided opportunities for the District to educate the public about the need to minimize storm water based pollution. As the permit process is set to continue with an extension and the adoption of another 5 year program, the District will address future concerns in conjunction with any changes. Also, the adoption Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) will be addressed in regard to the future permit. 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.: Overall, the program has effectively engaged the consultants and specialists charged with the day to day functions of the District. It is hard to determine the extent to which education efforts have influenced all constituents but consistent educational opportunities across numerous mediums has made an effect. Through specific coordination with District consultants, the challenges of implementing the program have been minimal. The district underwent a change in their operations consultant during the 5th year of the permit term. Coordinating procedures and educating the operations consultants added to the tasks already undertaken by the Districts. TMDL adoption and impending changes to the NPDES program, make it difficult to ensure that the procedures and processes adopted will apply in the future.

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. Public education outreach documentation and resources are outlined in Attachment 3 b. Also for MCM 1, provide documentation of the amount of resources used to address each group (e.g., visitors, businesses, etc.). Public education outreach documentation and resources are outlined in Attachment 3 c. For MCM 3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), indicate whether you have developed a list of allowable non-storm water discharges, other than those already listed in the general permit.

20 WHAT IS STORM WATER RUNOFF? Storm Water Runoff is the rainwater or snow melt that flows off our streets, lawns, roofs and land. This water travels into our Storm Sewer Systems or streams. WHAT IS STORM WATER POLLUTION? Storm Sewer Systems are meant to carry storm water. When items other than storm water get into these systems, they result in polluted Storm Water Runoff and can have many adverse effects on plants, fish, animals and people. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES: Household Hazardous Wastes Include: Latex paints Paint Thinners Motor Oil Household Batteries Anti-Freeze Cleaning Supplies Fertilizers Flammable Materials Lead Based Items Electronics How can you dispose of these items Safely? Most Cities have recycling centers that specialize in the disposal of household hazardous wastes.

25 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts Definitions Storm Water Point Source Pollution An identifiable source of pollution contributing to the detriment of water quality. Storm Water Non Point Source Pollution Pollution that comes from non-specific sources and is caused by rainwater or snowmelt accruing pollutants as it moves. ESFC s Acronym for Equivalent Single family Connections is a measure of all water taps that are currently under service with the District. This is typically comprised of commercial, residential and irrigation. Purpose Districts regularly face the challenges of Storm Water Point Source Pollution and Storm Water Non Point Source Pollution. Harris Fort Bend Counties Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District ), as part of its Storm Water Management Plan, will utilize public education and outreach opportunities to inform the public and address these challenges. Storm Water pollution is caused by everyday activities from numerous sources within the District and its surrounding areas. Although pollution from industrial areas and treatments facilities causes point source specific incursions, rainwater that runs off impervious surfaces and picks up dirt, oil, grease, pesticides and fertilizers before reaching District waterways causes pollution as well. These factors make storm water pollution the number one cause of water pollution. While regulators work to curtail storm water pollution, the task is a large one. By utilizing public education, the District can effectively educate the public about the impairment of water quality due to storm water runoff, the dangers of illicit discharges and illegal waste, and the measures the public can utilize to curtail Storm Water runoff pollution. Types of Public Education Brochures Storm water brochures can be left at local businesses, passed out at community common areas, included in District mail outs, or even distributed by hand. Brochures offer a wide range of possibilities for printable information. Door Hangers Door hangers are an effective way to reach each resident with educational materials. This method offers a wide range of possibilities for topics but is limited to the size of the hanger and printable information. Utility Bill Inserts Bill Inserts are a form of District mail-out that typically utilizes water bills or some other form of District mailing to distribute storm water public education material. This method is effective at reaching all residential and commercial District constituents through the registered ESFC s but may exclude community areas. 1

26 Newspapers Ads and articles in local newspapers are effective means for reaching many constituents and can utilize any printable information. Community Newsletters Newsletters are typically distributed to residents and are available in community areas. Newsletters can utilize large amounts of print material for storm water public education. In-School Materials Local classrooms are an easy way to distribute storm water public education to students in a variety of age ranges. The information they gather or learn may be passed on to other members of their households. Web-based Utilizing websites to convey storm water public education is a great way to reach many constituents in a given area. Many counties, cities and districts have websites where this information can be placed. Radio Local F.M., A.M. and Emergency radio can be a good way to convey specific storm water education programming as well as emergency storm water information. Billboards Billboards can easily convey a quick and pertinent storm water message and target a large number of constituents. It is important that if called for, the billboard should be located within District boundaries. Television Public television can be utilized to broadcast storm water specific programming at specific times. Constituents can be directed towards programming through other types of public education previously discussed. Community Events Information can be made available at community events by setting up a storm water information area and engaging attendees. Direct Training Training can be offered by District employees or consultants and can be targeted toward specific groups. Print and media can be used during training sessions. Subjects The content of storm water public education can include but is not limited to the following subjects: General Storm Water Storm Water Pollution Prevention Storm Water Cleanup Constituent Storm Water Responsibilities Illicit Discharge Storm Water and Lawn Care Household Hazardous Wastes Pool Maintenance and Drainage Pesticides and Fertilizers Storm Water and Construction 2

27 Storm Water and Industries Storm Water Ordinances Permitting Urban Runoff Local Regulations Emergency Information Environmental Protection Agency Event Notification Directives To effectively manage a storm water public education program, the District will need to provide regular educational outreach to its constituents. This outreach can be achieved through various methods as listed in the Types of Public Education section of this chapter. It is important that the District target at least the following: Residents It is important to address District residents because they are the largest group with a direct effect on the storm sewer system. Residents have an immediate and direct impact on water quality in the District. Education through brochures, door hangers, utility bill inserts, community newsletters, websites, and other means can provide important storm water based information. Outreach regarding general storm water, lawn care, pesticides/fertilizers, and pool maintenance are vital to a homeowner s understanding of the effect that everyday activities can have on storm water in their district. Local schools can also integrate storm water education into their curriculum. Students may pass this information along to other members of their households. Businesses Businesses contribute to the District s storm sewer system and have a direct impact as well. It is vital to educate businesses about the proper disposal of hazardous wastes, storm water cleanup, proper maintenance of facilities and storm water related emergency information. The District can utilize any of the resident-based means for public education because businesses receive District billing and mail outs. Public Service Employees It is important that public service employees are educated about the impacts of storm water pollution and can convey this information beyond what is available through print material. Because they are present in the area covered, public service employees can consistently consider the effects of storm water pollution and can actively work to reduce the effects while also directly educating residents, businesses, construction personnel, and visitors. By working closely with public service employees the District can incorporate print and media as educational tools through direct training. Commercial and Industrial Facilities (where relevant) Facilities located within District boundaries will require specified permits and regulations. These facilities should be targeted for education on storm water because they can easily contribute to the detriment of water quality. Utilizing direct means like door hangers, brochures, newsletters and even training sessions by District consultants or employees, commercial and industrial facilities can be educated about storm water pollution prevention. It is not only important to educate these facilities about the District s responsibilities towards storm water but the facility owners responsibilities and requirements as well. 3

28 Construction Site Personnel Active construction requires specified permits and regulations. Operators and their contractors need to be well versed in permits and regulations in order to ensure appropriate storm water management during construction. Utilizing direct means like door hangers, brochures, newsletters and even training sessions by District consultants or employees, construction site personnel can be educated about storm water pollution prevention. Construction sites can be a major contributor to the immediate detriment of water quality in a District but educating personnel about proper construction practices, local regulations and ordinances can curtail this. Visitors Visitors can contribute to the detriment of storm water quality in the same manner as the previously mentioned groups. Public education that is open and viewable to the general public can help contribute towards educating visitors. Billboards, TV ads and postings can aid in targeting the visitors to the District. Knowledgeable District consultants can also field storm water-related questioning. These directives will effectively target the largest majority of constituents and visitors to the District. The District can take on this responsibility through its operator, engineer or any other entity versed in managing public education regarding storm water. It is vital that all Storm Water Public Education initiatives be documented. Copies of educational outreach should be archived for future use or reference during any regulatory audits. Examples The following examples are provided: Brochures Door Hangers and Bill Inserts Newsletters In school Education Billboards 4

29 We, HFBCMUD 1, believe that protecting our environment is important to the health, safety, and beauty of our community. In August of 2007, we began implementing a Storm Water Management Plan to protect our streams, lakes, and bayous from harmful pollution. Illicit Discharge such as motor oil, grass clippings, chlorinated water, fertilizers, and pesticides enter our waterways through our storm sewers and harm plant and animal life. Over the next few years, we will be educating our residents, businesses, visitors, and municipal employees about the dangers of illicit storm water discharge and the steps we can take to protect our waterways. Do not dump anything into the storm sewer. Sweep up yard debris rather than hosing down areas. Recycle used motor oil and other automotive fluids. Always pick up pet waste and dispose of it properly. Make sure your pools are configured to drain into the sanitary sewer and not the storm sewer. Reduce the amount of paved area and increase the amount of vegetated area in your yard.

35 Public Involvement and Participation Purpose To effectively combat the influences of storm water pollution in Harris Fort Bend Counties Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District ), it is important to create a Public Involvement and Participation program. The District can utilize elements discussed in the Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts chapter of the Guidance Manual to educate its constituents regarding storm water pollution and prevention. This is an effective way to target constituents but does not provide the hands on elements that public involvement and participation in storm water pollution prevention does. The benefits of including constituents in the act of educating, and accordingly preventing, storm water pollution are not only educational in nature but community centric. Volunteer groups traditionally involve themselves in many aspects of community development and storm water pollution and storm water management are avenues that benefit both the volunteer group and the community. It is vital that the District, through its public involvement and participation, provides the means for all members of the local public to participate in aspects of the storm water management plan. Development of the SWMP (Storm Water Management Plan) Although storm water management plans are originally approved by regulators, they can change in their course. By allowing an avenue for public involvement and participation in defining changes, or even defining original aspects, the District can not only provide adequate opportunity for public input but also satisfy any permitting requirements therein. Public comment during the initial phases of storm water management plan development can incorporate opinions and ideas from constituents into general planning. This is beneficial to the District as well as its constituents and is more than satisfactory in providing an avenue for public comments. It is highly recommended that during the implementation of a storm water management plan, provisions are made during the District s regular meeting schedule to allow for any public comment regarding said plan. By doing so, The District is encouraging continued public involvement and participation. Events Storm water-based events are a positive way to offer District constituents a chance for public involvement and participation. By utilizing public education efforts, the District can notify its constituents of upcoming events and encourage participation. These events benefit the community as well as the required achievements in a storm water management plan. They include but are not limited to the following: Community Educational Events General community events are good venues for educating and involving the public in storm water management. Information sessions and activities are an effective way to involve District constituents and encourage participation. Educational materials can be handed out and activities can be conducted through the efforts of volunteers, District officials, and their consultants. 12

36 Cleanup Days Local cleanup events can centralize on garbage, debris or even maintenance based endeavors. Cleaning one stretch of road or maintaining the overgrown banks of a drainage channel are effective methods for storm water education through public involvement. Storm water pollution comes from many different sources and a well organized cleanup day can help to limit its effects. Cleanup days should typically include volunteer organizations and may be supplemented by District consultants. Hazardous Waste Days Education and outreach can go a long way in informing constituents about the dangers of household wastes entering the storm sewer system. It is important that they are versed in proper disposal techniques and any avenues for recycling. A hazardous waste cleanup day can provide a volunteer opportunity as well as a method for constituents to dispose of or recycle their common hazardous household items. Hazardous waste events should typically include volunteer organizations and may be supplemented by District consultants who are well versed in hazardous recycling and disposal. School Events Storm water-based in-school events are a good way to involve younger District constituents. Presentations regarding storm water pollution and the District s storm water management plan can give positive, beneficial information to younger constituents. There are presenters who specialize in school-based involvement events and can cater to the District s storm water related needs. Field trips to local educational outlets and activities relating to storm water are effective means for public involvement and participation. Also, materials and information can be passed on to households and other local constituent groups from these events. Local Notices and Open Meetings Requirements Proper notification of any public involvement or participation events is vital to the effectiveness of a storm water pollution prevention program in the District. Compliance with any state and local public notice requirements is mandatory and should be followed accordingly. As well, any event in which the District s Board of Directors are in attendance should conform to the requirements and restrictions of the Texas Open Meetings Act. This may limit the attendance of the Board of Directors or require the necessary notices. 13

37 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Purpose Harris Fort Bend Counties Municipal Utility District 1 (the District ) is implementing an illicit discharge detection and elimination program (IDDE) as part of its Storm Water Management Program in accordance with TPDES General Permit No. TXR The objective of this program is to reduce the amount of pollution carried in the District s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) by identifying and eliminating illicit discharges flowing into the MS4. The program will establish a systematic approach assisting in the identification of illicit discharges that may be implemented during performance of routine operations; while providing contact information for public reporting of illicit discharges and illegal dumping. The program will also establish a response plan to address known and identified illicit discharges, address citizen complaints, and will also develop follow-up procedures. By implementing the IDDE program, illicit connections, illicit discharges and specific sources of pollution can be identified and eliminated accordingly. Storm Sewer Map The Storm Sewer Map (SSM) must be developed to aid in the IDDE Program. The SSM must include the following: The location of all outfalls; The names and locations of all waters of the U.S. that receive discharges from the outfalls; and Any additional information needed by the permittee to implement its SWMP. Field verification must take place at least once per year and updates must be made when necessary. The initial SSM will be developed from existing mapping data on file with the engineer. This includes but is not limited to aerial photos, land use/zoning maps, sewer system maps, storm drain maps, as-built or construction drawings, and district boundary maps. The SSM will be used by Field Staff to effectively develop detection strategies, assess outfalls, collect samples, and respond to discharge complaints. Detection The District will implement an ongoing storm water outfall screening program for the detection and elimination of illicit discharges and improper disposal into the collective MS4. This program consists of field screening during dry weather and will target the outfalls that discharge into the receiving Waters of the US surrounding the Districts. The IDDE program also establishes a public website ( that can be used by the public to report illicit discharges or illegal dumping. Field screening is an active approach to detecting the presence of possible pollutant discharges from the District s municipal separate storm sewer system and may involve chemical screening or sampling of unknown discharges observed from outfalls, in sewers through manholes, or ditches/conveyances that are part of the MS4. The District will concentrate its dry weather outfall screening activities in areas that have a greater potential of having an illicit discharge or illicit connection. Sites may be chosen based on previous screening results, complaints, land use, physical evidence or other factors. Field screening will 14

38 be conducted during dry weather periods. Regulations define dry weather as a period preceded by at least 72 hours with no precipitation (rainfall total less than 0.10 inch). Verification and documentation of the dry period may be obtained through the use of onsite rain gauges or a local rain gauge network such as the web-based network maintained by the Harris County Office of Emergency Management website ( which extends to portions of Fort Bend County. During dry weather screening activities, field teams will visit the screening sites during dry weather conditions to determine whether an illicit discharge is present. Physical characteristics of the discharge such as color, odor, turbidity, surface scum, and oil sheen will be recorded on outfall inspection forms. If the initial visual inspection reveals the possibility of an illicit discharge, samples may be taken of the suspected illicit discharge and sent to a lab for screening. The lab tests chosen should correlate to the physical suspicions found during the initial inspection. If sewage is suspected, for example, a sample should be collected for E. coli and fecal coliform at the screened site for laboratory analysis. The team may also collect laboratory samples from the discharge for ammonia, chlorine, copper, total suspended solids (TSS), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Sample collection and analysis will be in accordance with methods outlined in the IDDE Protocol Supplement. If screening values exceed established thresholds or sample results indicate a potential illicit discharge, then a more detailed investigation is needed and tracking the discharge source will be conducted. If warranted, notification will be made to the TCEQ regional office. Response to Complaint The District will respond to all credible complaints within 72 hours. The District will take steps to identify the source of the complaint, attempt to clean up or remove the illicit discharge, and, if necessary, make repairs or alterations to prevent reoccurrence. Typical complaint response procedures will follow the Detection protocols as set forth in the previous section. Elimination Intermittent discharges are difficult to detect through outfall screening. The best way to manage these discharges is to prevent them from occurring. For this reason, education and outreach materials targeting residents, municipal operations, and businesses have been developed by the District. Some common specific residential neighborhood discharges include vehicle fluid, car wash, household hazardous waste, and swimming pool draining. For more information, see the Public Education Section. The District has developed storm water enforcement sections in its rate order/ordinance. When a user is caught dumping illicit discharge into the storm sewer system, they are liable for fines and penalties according to the District s rules and regulations. For more information, see the District Rate Order. 1. Identify the potential illicit discharge area by reviewing maps of the MS4, most notably the storm sewer conveyance map prepared by the District Engineer. 2. The field crew will locate the site in the field and record initial field observations on the field form including: Time Date 15

39 Investigator names Site location Weather (antecedent dry period) A short site description Any odors or algal build up Characteristics of discharge (if there is a discharge) Note land uses along the MS4 3. If no discharge is observed during this visit, the crew will look for evidence of intermittent flow, make a land use survey and verify the MS4 system (search for interconnects). The field notes will be recorded in the database and the case can be closed if warranted; unless there is evidence that an intermittent problem exists which may require further investigation with subsequent visits to the area. 4. If a discharge is observed, the field crew will chemically screen the outfall and record the data. Photos of the discharge will be captured including the outfall, manhole, and drainage ditch. If elevated levels are still present (exceed the threshold levels), the following procedures will occur for the identification of a potential illicit connection: a) Determine where the upstream storm sewers are located relative to the potential illicit discharge point. b) Once the location of the upstream sewer lines are identified, pulling up manhole covers will enable investigation and tracking of the discharge to its source. c) When pulling manhole covers and tracking flow, investigators will record all the information about the discharge and each location visited. This can be easily accomplished by drawing arrows on the direction of flow on a map and recording physical characteristics in the field form. d) Continue up the line until the discharge no longer appears in the MS4 or until the source has been identified. Record any pertinent information on the field form. A sample should be collected as close to the source as possible and submitted to the laboratory for analysis if the discharge is still an unknown or classified as a suspected illicit discharge. If the discharge is determined to be an allowable discharge, then it should be noted and the case may be closed. MSGP within District Boundaries Industrial activities operating within District boundaries may be a significant source of pollutant load into the storm water conveyance system. For that reason, it is important to identify and regulate facilities that qualify for a multi-sector general permit (MSGP). There will be two methods to identifying the potential industrial facility: 1. New Construction The District will scrutinize all new construction and redevelopment plans to determine if the resulting facility will qualify for a MSGP. This may be done using SIC codes or Industrial Activity Codes. 2. Existing Businesses 16

40 The District will regularly analyze their tax roll for businesses that may qualify for a MSGP. This may be done using SIC codes or Industrial Activity Codes. If the facility is found to qualify for a MSGP, then the District will require that business to file the proper paperwork with the suitable regulatory agency as soon as appropriate. Point Source Investigation Tests The following is a list of the possible methodologies that will be employed in the IDDE program depending on the extent, nature, and of the problem. Dye Testing Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Optical Brighteners Dissolved Oxygen (DO) measurements Constituent measurements using a Colorimeter 1. Quantitative Dye Tests The purpose of the quantitative dye test is to determine the connectivity of the storm sewer lines and possibly the locations of illicit connections. An organic dye, commonly used in tracer studies and medical applications, will be employed. The dye is highly visible in the water and will help to track the flow of the storm sewer system. The dye will be released at either the upstream or at the suspected illicit discharge site and then monitored downstream to determine the connectivity. 2. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) CCTV may be performed to identify undocumented connections leading into the storm sewer system, and to locate those connections found, on a site map. Such an investigative tool may only be used in dry weather conditions. All surface drainage appurtenances in the public ROW will be located and connections will be noted. When all connections have been accounted for as permitted dischargers, the remaining connections will be considered for additional investigation. Entry onto private property during a follow up investigation may identify allowable connections (inlets draining private parking lots or back lot areas). Allowable Non-Storm Water Discharges Only runoff composed entirely of storm water or certain allowable non-storm water shall be discharged to the District s storm sewer system. Other discharges are not authorized. A list of allowable non-storm water discharge is as follows: water line flushing (excluding discharges of hyperchlorinated water, unless the water is first dechlorinated and discharges are not expected to adversely affect aquatic life); runoff or return flow from landscape irrigation, lawn irrigation, and other irrigation utilizing potable water, groundwater, or surface water sources; discharges from potable water sources; diverted stream flows; 17

41 rising ground waters and springs; uncontaminated ground water infiltration; uncontaminated pumped ground water; foundation and footing drains; air conditioning condensation; water from crawl space pumps; individual residential vehicle washing; flows from wetlands and riparian habitats; dechlorinated swimming pool discharges; street wash water; discharges or flows from fire fighting activities (fire fighting activities do not include washing of trucks, run-off water from training activities, test water from fire suppression systems, and similar activities); other allowable non-storm water discharges listed in 40 CFR ' (d)(2)(iv)(B)(1); non-storm water discharges that are specifically listed in the TPDES Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP) or the TPDES Construction General permit (CGP); and other similar occasional incidental non-storm water discharges, unless the TCEQ develops permits or regulations addressing these discharges. 18
