Operators of large, medium, and small regulated municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) are required to obtain coverage and comply with permit conditions before discharging to waters of the state. Phase I permits address discharges of stormwater runoff from "medium" and "large" MS4s and Phase II generally regulates discharges from other (smaller) MS4s. The Seminar presented a comprehensive overview to help MS4s identify approaches to comply with current and evolving permit requirements, including ways to demonstrate progress in reducing loadings to waterbodies with and without adopted BMAPs.
