The proposed action is to reissue an existing State/NPDES permit for an existing facility. The proposed action is to issue a new individual NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit from an existing MS4 general permit. The proposed MS4 permit requires the permittee to develop, implement, and enforce a stormwater management program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act and Kansas surface water quality statutes and regulations. The proposed permit requires the permittee to update the Stormwater Management Program document, implement six minimum control measures and implement best management practices to reduce any identified total maximum daily load (TMDL) regulated pollutants if listed in the permit (TMDL Table). If there is an identified TMDL regulated pollutant, surface water monitoring may be required on the impaired water body to evaluate performance of the best management practices. Monitoring of industrial stormwater discharges and oversite of construction activities within the MS4 may be required if it is applicable. The proposed permit requires the submittal of an annual report that addresses all compliance requirements for the previous year. This permit contains generic language to protect water quality.
