Regulatory Background

Federal Water Pollution Control Act

“Clean Water Act” - 1972

Federal Program to Regulate the Discharge of Pollutants into Waters of the United States

Total Maximum Daily Loads

 A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is the amount

  • f a specific pollutant that a particular stream, lake,

estuary or other waterbody can 'handle' without affecting water quality standards and aquatic life

How to Achieve Compliance?

BMP Selection for Dry Weather

 Based on our understanding of sources of flow and

bacteria into the MS4s

 Prioritize non-structural BMPs that:

 Eliminate non-stormwater flows (e.g., residential water

conservation programs, commercial

  • utreach/inspection)

 Identify and abate high risk source (i.e., human waste)

 Structural controls as needed (e.g., diversion to sewer,

distributed infiltration)

Public Works Agency

How to Achieve Compliance?

BMP Selection for Wet Weather

 Non-structural BMPs including LID incentive programs

and various source controls

 Structural BMPs:

 Regional and distributed options  Infiltration-based systems and flow-through treatment (where

infiltration infeasible)  Prioritize lower cost non-structural BMPs first  Identify potential structural retrofit opportunities, assess

implementability, and prioritize projects based on cost- benefit analysis

Structural BMP Examples

 Distributed BMPs

 Cisterns  Bioretention  Vegetated swales  Green roofs  Porous/permeable

pavement

 Gross solids removal

devices

 Media filters  Catch basin inserts

  • Regional BMPs
  • Infiltration basins
  • Detention basins
  • Detention with

subsurface flow wetlands

  • Constructed surface flow

wetlands

  • Treatment facility
  • Hydrodynamic devices

Identify Applicable WQS Run Baseline Conditions to Establish “Existing” Loads Calculate Target Load Reductions to achieve WQS Quantify Non- Structural BMPs Identify Regional BMP Opportunity Sites Develop Regional BMP Concepts and Sizing Quantify Regional BMPs Quantify Distributed BMPs BMP Prioritization Methodology:

  • Catchment prioritization based on WQ

“need”

  • BMP opportunity prioritization (considers

parcel size and ownership, proximity to storm drains, and technical constraints)

  • Map potential BMP opportunity sites
  • Feasibility assessments and costs

BMP Modeling Process Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA)
