Municipal Separate Storm Sewer

• Owned or operated by a State, city, town, county, college or university…

• Designed or used for collecting or conveying storm water;

• Which is not a combined sewer; and

• Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

Municipal separate storm sewer means a conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains)

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System

Single buildings with stormwater runoff or a storm sewer that connects to a permitted Phase I or Phase II Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) is not included in the Phase II Process at this time.

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System

Does Phase II apply to non-standard MS4s that discharge to another permitted MS4 (i.e., NCDOT, Charlotte, Durham, Fayetteville/Cumberland County, Greensboro, Raleigh, or Winston Salem)?

It Depends

MS4 that connects to another permitted Phase I or Phase II MS4 may be subject to Phase II, depending on the activities, potential exposure, the degree of regulation at the site, the system of conveyance and/or the stormwater runoff impact.

Stormwater Management Plan

• Public Education and Outreach

• Public Involvement and Participation

• Detect and Eliminate Illicit Discharges

• Control Stormwater Runoff from Construction Activities

• Control Post-construction Stormwater Runoff

• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
