Stormwater ManagementClean Water Act under the NPDES Phase II MS4

Program (Bear Creek) and/or TMDL Programs (Rogue Basin).

Why stormwater management components were in 5-year plans.1. Public Education and Outreach2. Public Involvement and Participation3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination4. Construction Site Runoff Control (Erosion

Prevention and Sediment Control)5. Post Construction Runoff Control6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

Illicit Discharge MonitoringDry Run First Flush

• Illicit discharge monitoring involves sampling storm drains three times annually in each DMA

• Dry weather– Evaluates contributions from existing water sources.

• Two storm events (flushes)—Evaluates contributions built up in the system.

Sample Sites

Page 9: Greg Stabach and Kim Adams Rogue Valley Council of Governments January 21 st, 2015 Rogue TMDL Meeting.

Sample Site Selection16 sampling locations, plus QA/QC Sites.

Based on discussions with local communities (public works and planning).

Areas of high urbanization (drainage significant portions of the City/County), specific areas of interest.

Can modify the sites annually as needed.

Monitoring Results

Results from the monitoring are used to evaluate the relative contribution of storm drain inputs to stream water quality.

Used for additional investigations depending on results – additional system monitoring, referrals to local jurisdictions.
