A. INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has two main objectives:
1) To identify sources of pollutants associated with development that may affect the quality
of storm water discharges, and
2) To identify site specific best management practices to reduce or prevent pollutants in
storm water discharges
As part ofthe Califomia Regional Water Quality Control Board's Order 2001-01, a SWMP is
required on all existing and proposed "Priority Development Projects" as defined by F.l.b(2)(a) of
that report. This project, Seabreeze Vacation Hotel, is identified as a priority project in Table 1
of the Standard Urban Storm Water Management Program because it consists of over 10 attached
residential imits.
B. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This site exists at the west end of Ocean Blvd. specifically at 3150 Ocean Street. It is bordered by
Carlsbad Village Drive to the north, Coast Highway to the east and a public parking lot with
beach access to the Pacific Ocean on the west. The 15,874 S.F. (0.36 acre) site consists of an
existing three story vacation rental building including a 17 space parking lot. This surroimding
area is completely developed with units similar to the proposed project. This facility was originally
constructed in 1981 by Mr. Robert Miller and partners.
Site visits were made on November 18* and December 6*, 2002. The facility was observed to be
without debris or dirt. All parking areas appeared to have been recently swept. Landscaping was
mature and no runoff water fi'om sprinklers was observed.
The site generally drains to the west. Drainage of the site is accomplished via overland sheet flow
in a concrete ribbon gutter to the south of the site where it is collected in one 6"X 12" inlet, and
to the north via PVC pipe. Approximate drainage calculations are available in Attachment A of
this report for the existing site. Drainage facilities are shown on the Site Plan located in
Attachment A.
C. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists only of remodeling the existing building. The 8 apartment units will be
modified to 12 motel rooms. Because this is an existing project with little site construction, we
will attempt to work with the existing facility to minimize storm water pollutants.
D. IDENTIFIED POLLUTANTS AND SOURCES
During the construction phase of the project, which is taking place within the envelope of the
building, pollutants of concem may include:
Asphaltic emulsions associated with asphalt-concrete paving operations
Cement materials associated with PCC concrete paving operations, drainage stmctures
Joint and curing compounds
Paints
Solvents, thinners
Wood products
Drywall
Metal and plated products
Pollutants of concem generated by the attached residential site are mainly concentrated around
trash disposal and potential leakage firom automobiles. In terms of a Post-constmction phase,
pollutants of concem may include:
General site litter
Fertilizer and Pesticides
Wash down water from Asphalt
A fiirther description of Pollutants and Sources of these polluants including there affects on the
environment is included in Attachment ^D^ - General Catagories for Water PoUution.
E. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES - CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are intended to provide measures which minimize or
eliminate the introduction of pollutants into the storm water system.
Because the construction in this project is concentrated inside the builiding BMPs in the
constmction phase of this project shall consist of education and good housekeeping practices as
follows:
Outdoor Storage - All constmction materials shall be contained in a storage container or
covered to prevent pollutants from being washed into the storm drain system
Trash - All wastes from the constmction process shall be disposed of in the trash
recepticals. Regular trash pick-ups will be scheduled and dumpster areas vdll remain free
of debris.
Education - Owners will provide information from this document and available from
other Agencies to educate contractor employees of good housekeeping practices that
contribute to the protection of storm water quality. This education will address, but is not
limited to the use and storage constmction materials, BMPs regarding site cleanup, litter
control and trash collection. (See all Attachments.)
F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES - POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Post Constmction BMPs will be investigated in the following areas:
A) Site Design BMPs
B) Source Control BMPs
C) Treatment Control BMP
1) SITE DESIGN BMPs
Site Design BMPs are design features that can reduce the creation or severity of potential
pollutants and are provided for as the project is in the design phase. This project is existing and
therefore would not be subject to site design criteria. However, the site was designed with some
features that provide for limiting storm water pollutants, as follows:
Trash Enclosure: The trash enclosure is walled-off and will not allow pollutants to be
washed in the storm drain. Drainage is diverted away from the area.
Landscaping: Landscaping around the building provides for infiltration of storm water
and therefore lessening the runoff. All exists landscape will be preserved.
2) SOURCE CONTROL BMPs
Source control BMPs are designed to limit the quantity of storm water and polluntants that exits a
project site. Source Control BMPs include:
Owner Education -The Owner will educate employees of general good housekeeping
practices that contribute to the protection of storm water quality by providing information
on Best Management Practices. (See All Attachments)
Activity Restrictions - All activities will comply with Carlsbad Municipal Code. Specific
restrictions of the site will include, but are not limited to, the following:
• No Hosing of Paved Area - Parking are surfaces and driveways will not be cleaned
by "hosing down", but will instead be swept clean or vacuumed, with collected
waste disposed of in a covered container. Oil stains will not be cleaned via an acid
wash of the driveway. Instead, oil stains and leaks will cleaned using rags or
absorbents, then swept using granular solvent material, and finally mopped. Mop
water shall be disposed of into a sanitary sewer facility.
• Trash - No mbbish, trash, garbage or other waste material shall be kept on-site or on
any public street abutting the properties, except in sanitary container located in
appropriate areas (trash containers).
• Drainage - There shall be no interference wdth or alteration of the established drainage
pattem on the site unless an adequate altemative provision is made for proper
drainage with the prior written approval of the City.
• Outside Storage - Storage of materials will not be allowed outside the main buildings
unless authorized by the goveming agencies. A revised SWMP will be issued in this
event detailing the BMPs associated with outdoor storage.
BMP Maintenance - Owner shall assign a person who will be responsible for
implementation of each non-stmctural BMP and scheduled cleaning of all stmctural BMP
facilities. (See Section V.)
Permit Compliance - Owner will be responsible for relaying SWMP requirements to any
future owner.
Spill Contingency Plan - Ovmers shall provide and implement a spill contingency plan if
Hazardous Wastes are known to be stored on property.
Common Area Litter Control - Owners and Tenants shall implement a trash management
and litter control program for the reduction of off site migration of trash. Owners and
Tenants will be responsible for having the site inspected twice a week and cleaned as
necessary.
Employee Training - Owners will periodically provide information from this document and
available from other Agencies to educate employees of good housekeeping practices that
contribute to the protection of storm water quality. This education will address, but is not
limited to the use and storage of chemicals, pesticides, BMPs regarding site cleanup, litter
control and trash collection. (See all Attachments.)
Common Area Catch Basin & Drainage Inspection - Owners will inspect and clean catch
basins on a regular basis. All filters will be replaced per guidelines established by the
manufacturer. (See Attachment
Parking Lot Sweeping - Ovmers will ensure that the parking lot is swept as necessary, and
not less than twice per year. The lot shall be swept prior to Storm Season, and no later than
the 1st of October.
Vehicle Washing - No Vehicles will be washed on site.
3) TREATMENT CONTROL BMPs
Treatment Control BMPs are engineered systems designed to remove pollutants from urban runoff.
The following Treatment Control BMPs will be implemented:
Common Area Efficient Irrigation - Irrigation shall be implemented as indicated on the
City approved Landscape Plans and be consistent with City water conservation resolution.
This shall include programmable irrigation and run-off minimizing landscaping.
Outdoor Storage - There will be no outdoor storage on this site.
Catch Basin Stenciling - Phrase "No Dumping - Drains to Ocean" to be stenciled on catch
basin and curb inlet to alert the public to the destination of pollutants discharged into storm
water. For specification, consult City of Carlsbad, Streets Department.
Water Quality Inlets - Special FossU FUter (FLO-GARD PLUS by Kristar) - Surface runoff
shall be directed to the existing stmcture with fossU filter wherever practicable. The fossU
filter is designed to capture contaminate that normally enter inlets during low to medium flow
and does not inhibit flow during high flow storm water runoff events. The specified inlet
shaU be instaUed to factory specification and maintained by the owners. The specified inlet is
appropriate for removing all poUutants of concem. (See Attachment "B")
G. MONITORING, INSPECTION AND REPORTING
The Ovmer or assigned person wiU inspect the site prior to a forecast storm and after a rain event
that causes mnoff form the site, or in dry weather intervals, monthly. The results of aU inspections
and assessments wiU be documented and copies of the complete inspection checkUsts wiU be
maintained with the SWMP. Site inspections conducted for monitoring purposes wiU be performed
using the inspection checklist shown in Attachment H.
AU BMPs wUl be followed and monitored. The ovmer wUl be in responsible charge for monitoring
and maintaining the BMPs described in this document.
A Tenant/Contractor Education Log is included as Attachment 0 to document aU BMP education.

Testing
HYDRAULIC TESTING (Filtering Flow Rates)
On June 4,1998, tests were conducted by consulting civil engineer Robert E.
Burke of Eagle Engineering of Sacramento to demonstrate the actual hydraulic
capacity of operating filters. The tests were conducted as a follow-on to the test
program of the City of Sacramento entitled "Sacramento Stormwater
Monitoring Program; NDMP Stormwater Control Measure Study". The tests
were conducted on two Fossil Filter drop-in units in the paved yard of Tenco
Tractor in West Sacramento.
Site #1 :A square (24" x 24") drop inlet with a square welded steel grate
mounting a square Fossil Filter™ (Model FF2424H) with a net length ofthe
filter elements of 76" (6.3'). The manufacturer rates the capacity of Fossil
Filters™ as 12 GPM per linear foot of filter element. The manufacturer's rated
capacity of the FF2424H filter is given by the formula 12 GPM x 6.3 LF = 76
GPM.
Site #2: A round drop inlet (24" diameter) with a circular cast iron grate and
mounts a round Fossil Filter™ (Model RF24) with a net length of filter element
of 47" (3.9'). The manufacturer's rated capacity ofthe RF24 filter is given by
the formula 12 GPM x 3.9 LF = 47 GPM.
TEST METHODOLOGY: Water from a fire hydrant was metered and fed to the
sites through a 1 J' fire hose. A flow rate equivalent to the rated capacity of the
filters was established and the performance of the filters observed. The flow
rate was then mcreased to the maximum flow of the hydrant and the
performance of the filters observed.
OBSERVATIONS: At the manufacturer's rated capacity of 12 GPM/LF of filter,
both filters flowed freely without backup or overflow; however, at the round inlet
(Site #2), some water flowed along the bars of the grate into the inlet center
and bypassed the filter.
At the maximum available flow (approximately 100 GPM), the square filter
flowed fi^eely without backup; however, the velocity of the water as it struck the
grate caused some splashing with localized overflow of the filter's inner baffle.
The round filter aiso flowed freely without backup; however, an estimated 15%
of the water flowed along the bars of the grate to the center and bypassed the
filter. With the grate removed and the entire flow entering the filter, the flow
exceeded the filter's capacity and the water overflowed the inner baffle.
To recap, both Fossil Filters™ performed satisfactorily at their rated capacity of
12 GPM/LF without backup or overflow. At maximum available flow (125% of
rated capacity), the square unit was still operating well below ultimate capacity.
The round unit, at a flow rate of 100 GPM (208% of capacity), was
ovenwhelmed and the water overflowed the inner baffle.
CONCLUSIONS: The tests demonstrated that Fossil Filters™ can
accommodate flows claimed by the manufacturer. With proper design and
installation of the inlet structure, the filters will accommodate flows well in
excess ofthe manufacturer's rating.

IVIaintenance Jff^^
FOSSIL FILTERT"^ MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
fornvtm
THE NEED FOR AN EFFECTIVE POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
When installed in a drainage inlet catch basin or tank, Fossil Filter™ is an
effiective tool in the effort to reduce pollution of lakes, rivers, streams and
oceans caused by pollutants borne in urban water runoff.
Within the United States, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has, via the Clean Water Act (CWA), mandated that states and cities
implement Storm Water Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPP) to curtail
pollution from water runoff The EPA cites Best Available Technology (BAT)
criteria for states and cities to use. Fossil Filter™ meets the BAT criteria.
Once installed, the Fossil Filter™ becomes subject to the provisions ofthe
CWA's Best Management Practices (BMP) dictates. According to the EPA,
BMP's include the development of a plan to prevent pollution from urban water
runoff. Responsibility for developing the plan ultimately rests with the
landowner. A natural component of any plan is the establishment of an overall
maintenance program.
Note: Without an established maintenance program, KriStar Enterprises
cannot warrant the effectiveness ofthe Fossil Filter"^.
An effective maintenance program should include the following key
components:
1. REGULAR SWEEPING AND REMOVAL OF DEBRIS:
Vehicle parking lots, corporation yards, and so forth should be swept on a
regular basis. Sediment and debris (litter, leaves, papers and cans, etc.) within
the area, especially around the drainage inlet, should be collected and
removed. The frequency of sweeping should be based on the amount of
sediment and debris generated.
2. REGULAR INSPECTIONS:
The Fossil Filter™ installation should be inspected on a regular basis. The
frequency of inspection should be based on pollutant loading, amount of
debris, leaves, etc., and amount of runoff. Manufacturer recommendations
include no less than three inspections per year.
Manufacturer guidelines for timing of inspections are;
a. For areas with a definite rainy season: Prior to and during the rainy season.
b. For areas subject to year-round rainfall: On a recurring (preferably
scheduled) basis.
c. For arejas with winter snow and summer rain: Prior to and just after the snow
season and during the summer rain season.
d. For filters not subject to the elements (washracks, parking garages, etc.),
inspections should be on a regular basis.
3. CONDUCT OF THE VISUAL INSPECTION:
a. After broom sweeping and removing debris from around the inlet, the catch
basin grate should be removed and the condition ofthe screens checked.
b. The installed adsorbent should be inspected. For Hydrocarbon (Drop-In)
units with screens covering the adsorbent, the screen's condition should be
http://www.kristar.cotn/lcvel2/scrvice/serviceA.html 5/15/02
checketi md the adsorbent visually inspected through the screen. If excessive
silt covers the top of the adsorbent or if the adsorbent granules are more than
one-half coated with a dark gray or black substance, the adsorbent should be
replaced (see 4 below).
c. For Flo-Gard units with adsorbent pouches, the condition ofthe pouches
should be checked and a visual inspection made ofthe enclosed adsorbent.
As above, ifthe granules are covered, the pouches should be replaced.
d. For the FloGard filters, which have a fabric filter body, the serviceability of
the fabric should be determined and, if called for, replaced with a new one.
e. The filter components should be replaced in the inlet and the grate replaced.
4. REPUVCEMENT OF THE EXPOSED ADSORBENT FILTER MEDIUM:
a. To avoid spilling the exposed (and clean) adsorbent filter medium into or
onto the surrounding surtace, the person replacing the adsorbent should move
away from the inlet and work over a large work cloth.
b. All exposed adsorbent and collected debris must be dumped into a DOT-
approved container for later disposal. The method of replacing the adsorbent
depends on the type of filter:
1) For filters with removable filter cartridges, the cartridges need to be
removed from the filter, the end caps removed and the exposed material
poured out.
2) For filters with one-piece top screens, the entire filter needs to be removed
to the work area, the top screen removed and the exposed material poured
out.
3) For filters with adsorbent pouches, the pouches need to be removed and
disposed of
4) For 1) and 2) above, new adsorbent will be poured into the adsorbent
containment area to a level about 1 1/2 inches from the top screen when the
filter cartridge or filter is level.
Note: Overfilling will result in decreased filtering efficiency. For 3) above, new
adsorbent pouches are snapped into place.
5. DISPOSAL OF THE EXPOSED ADSORBENT:
The exposed adsorbent is non-biodegradable, non-leaching and non-
carcinogenic so, with proper handling and documentation, it can usually be
disposed of at a landfill. However, because disposal regulafions vary by area,
it is recommended that the persons disposing of the material contact their local
regulator/ agency and landfill to ensure compliance with local and state
environmental regulafions.
Note: As the generator, the landowner is ultimately responsible forthe proper
disposal.
6. REPLENISHMENT OF ADSORBENT MATERIAL SUPPLY:
Persons responsible for maintaining Fossil Filters™ should keep a sufficient
amount of Fossil Rock™ adsorbent on hand to replace the installed adsorbent
plus an additional amount to be used in case of dry land oil spills. To reorder
Fossil Rock, see below.
Note: Fossil Roc/f ™ adsorbent is the only tested and approved material for
use In Fossil Filter^ products. KriStar Enterprises, the manufacturer of Fossil
Filter"^, cannot guarantee a similar level of filter efficiency with the use of
other maierials.
If you have questions about the Fossil Filter™ products or Fossil Rock™
adsorbent, please call KriStar Enterprises at (800) 579-8819.

ABOUT URBAN AND STORM WATER RUNOFF...
Urban and storm water runoff is a serious concern, in both dry and rainy
season. It is contaminated with pesticides, fertilizers, animal droppings,
trash, food wastes, automotive byproducts and other toxic substances
that are part of our uriDan environment Waters that flow over streets,
pari<ing lots, construction sites and industrial fadlities carry these
pollutants through a 5,000-mile storm drain network directly lo the lakes,
streams and beaches of Southern California.
Urtian runoff is the largest source of unregulated pollution to the
watenvays and coastal areas ofthe United States. Locally, we see the
impacts in increased health risks to swimmers near storm drains, high
concentrations of toxic metals in harbor and ocean sediments, and
toxicity to aquatic life.
These impacts translate into losses to the County's $2 billion a year
tourism economy, loss of recreational resource, dramatic cost increases
for cleaning up contaminated sediments and impaired function and
vitality of our natural resources.
HISTORY
The Clean Water Act of 1987 established requirements fbr stomri water
discharges under the Nationai Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
NPDES) program. In response to those requirements, the State of
California issued a five-year pemiit for municipal storm water discharges
to Los Angeles County in June 1990.
The 1990 permit was very general in nature, resulting in storm water
programs that varied widely firom city to city. The 1996 permit, a
reissuance ofthe 1990 permit, therefore seeks to provide better direction
by specifying actions needed to comply with permit requirements.
This permit is the result of one and a half years of discussions between
representatives of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control
Board (Regional Board), Los Angeies County, the City of Los Angeles,
three smaller cities, and the environmental community. It also
incorporates extensive comments received from ali interested parties on
two eartier drafts.
GOALS OF THE MUNICIPAL STORM WATER PERMIT
e To attain and protect the beneficial uses of water bodies in Los
Angeles County;
e To reduce pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent
practicable; and
http://www.lastormwater.org/pages/npdeslit.htm 5/13/02
• To evaluate eompliahca with ihe objectives and requirements
contained in the permit
REQUIREMENTS OF THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
In general, the pennit requires implementation of both the Storm Water
Management Program contained in the pennit, the elements of the
Countywide Stormwater Management Plan (CSWMP) or Watershed
Management Area Plans (WMAP) that will be developed pursuant to the
permiL
The Countyv^ide Storm Water Management Plan
and Water Management Area Plans
Much of the pemiit details the Stonm Water Management Program
elements and "what" should be induded in the CSWMP. Developing the
specified program elements will require that Permittees determine "how"
actions will be implemented. Program elements, once developed, wiii
then be compiled into the unified implementation plan known as the
CSWMP.
The Watershed Management Area Plans are to be devdoped later in the
permit cycle. They are based on the requirements of the permit and the
^SWMP, but wiil also indude actions that address water quality problems
d concerns that are unique to the six watershed areas of Los Angeles
bunty. Once developed and approved, the WMAP superceded the
CSWMP.
The storm water management program is comprised of seven elements,
the objectives of which are to:
1. Effectively manage and coordinate implementation of the storm
water program;
2. Identify and eliminate illicit connections and illicit discharges to the
stonn drain system;
3. Reduce stonn water impacts associated with development and
redevelopment projects;
4. Reduce storm water quality impacts associated with public agency
activities;
5. Increase public knowledge about the impacts of storm water
pollution and about actions that can be taken to prevent pollution.
6. Increase knowledge and understanding about the quaiity,
quantity, sources, and impacts of urban runoff; and
7. Evaluate the effectiveness of implementing storm water
management programs.

GENERAL CATAGORIES FOR WATER POLLUTION
Urban nmoflf from a developed site has the potential to contribute pollutants, including oil and
grease, suspended solids, metals, gasoline, pesticides, and pathogens to the storm water
conveyance system and receiving waters. For the purposes of identifying pollutants of concem
and associated storm water BMPs, pollutants are grouped in nine general categories as follows:
1. Sediments -Sediments are soils or other surficial materials eroded and then
transported or deposited by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediments can increase
turbidity, clog fish giUs, reduce spawning habitat, lower yoimg aquatic organisms survival rates,
smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic vegetation growth.
2. Nutrients- Nutrients are inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. They
commonly exist in the form of mineral salts that are either dissolved or suspended in water.
Primary sources of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and eroded soils. Excessive discharge
of nutrients to water bodies and streams can cause excessive aquatic algae and plant growth. Such
excessive production, referred to as cultural eutrophication, may lead to excessive decay of
organic matter in the water body, loss of oxygen in the water, release of toxins in sediment, and
the eventual death of aquatic organisms.
3. Metals -Metals are raw material components in non-metal products such as fuels, adhesives,
paints, and other coatings. Primary source of metal pollution in storm water are typically
commercially available metals and metal products.
Metals of concem include cadmium, chromiimi, copper, lead, mercury, and 2anc. Lead and
chromium have been used as corrosion inhibitors in primer coatings and cooling tower systems.
At low concentrations naturally occurring in soil, metals are not toxic. However, at higher
concentrations, certain metals can be toxic to aquaticlife. Hiunans can be irr^acted from
contaminated groimdwater resources, and bioaccumulation of metals in fish and sheUfish.
Environmental concems, regarding the potential for release of metals to the environment, have
already led to restricted metal usage in certain applications.
4. Organic Compounds -Organic compoimds are carbon-based. Commercially available or
naturally occurring organic confounds are foimd in pesticides, solvents, and hydrocarbons.
Organic compounds can, at certain concentrations, indirectly or directly constitute a hazard to life
or health. When rinsing off objects, toxic levels of solvents and cleamng compounds can be
discharged to storm drains. Dirt, grease, and grime retained in the cleaning fluid or rinse water
may also adsorb levels of organic compounds that are harmfiil or hazardous to aquatic life.
5. Trash & Debris -Trash (such as paper, plastic, polystyrene packing foam, and aliuninum
materials) and biodegradable organic matter (such as leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste) are
general waste products on the landscape. The presence of trash & debris may have a significant

Opportunities for Public Involvement in Nonpoint Source Control
Over the last 25 years, communities have played an important role in
addressing nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, the Nation's leading source
of water quality problems. When coordinated with federal, state, and
local enviroimiental programs and initiatives, community-based NPS
control efforts can be highly successful. To Ieam about and help control
NPS pollution, contact the community-based organizations and
enviroimiental agencies in your area. These groups often have
information about how citizens can get involved in the following types
of NPS control activities.
Volunteer Monitoring
Local groups organize volunteers of all skill levels to gather water
quality data. This information can help govemment agencies understand
the magnitude of NPS pollution. More than 500 active volunteer
monitoring groups currently operate throughout the United States.
Monitoring groups may also have information about other NPS
pollution projects, such as beach cleanups, stream walks, and
restoration activities.
Ecological Restoration
Ecological restoration provides opportunities for the public to help out
wdth a wide variety of projects, such as tree planting and bank
stabilization in both urban and rural are2is. Restoration efforts focus on
degraded waters or habitats that have significant economic or ecological
value.
Educational Activities
Teachers can integrate NPS pollution curricula into their classroom
activities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), federal
and state agencies, private groups, and nonprofit organizations offer
teachers a wide variety of materials. Students can start on an NPS
control project in the primary grades and carry their work through to
the intermediate and secondary levels.
Water Conservation
Using technologies that limit water use in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, lawn, driveway, and
garden can reduce the demand on existing water supplies and limit the amount of water runoff. More
than 40 states now have some type of water conservation program to help citizens and businesses
implement conservation practices. Govemment agencies, utilities, and hardware stores have
information about different products that help households conserve water.
http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point2.htm 9/27/01
Household Management
Learning to limit NPS pollution at the household level can reduce the overall impacts of NPS pollution
on water quality. Households, for example, can irrigate during cooler hours of the day, limit fertilizer
applications to lawns and gardens, and properly store chemicals to reduce runoff and keep runoff clean.
Chemicals and oil should not be poured into sewers, where they can result in major water quality
problems. Pet wastes, a significant source of nutrient contamination, should be disposed of properly.
Households can also replace impervious surfaces with more porous materials.
Public Meetings and Hearings
Decisions made during public hearings on stormwater permitting and town planning can determine a
community's capability to manage NPS pollution over the long term. Laws or regulations may require
federal, state, or local agencies to hold public hearings when permits are issued or when town plans are
formed. Notices about hearings often appear in the newspaper or in govemment ofiBce buildings.
Community Organizations
Many communities have formed groups to protect local natural resources. These community-based
groups provide citizens with information about upcoming environmental events in their watershed,
such as ecological restoration, volunteer monitoring, and public meetings. Watershed-level associations
are particularly effective at addressing a wide range of NPS pollution problems.
Environmental Information on the Internet
Citizens can obtain a tremendous amount of environmental data and educational material with a
computer linked to the World Wide Web. EPA's site (http://www.epa.gov) on the World Wide Web
provides up-to-date information on Agency activities and enables citizens to find out about air and
water quality data in specific communities.
EPA supports NPSINFO, a forum for discussion of NPS issues, including NPS education. Citizens
with access to e-mail can subscribe to NPSINFO free of charge by sending an e-mail message to:
Iistserver@unixmaiLrtpnc.epa.gov
and include in the body of the message:
subscribe NPSINFO (your first name) (your last name)
Other federal, state, tribal, and local agencies, as well as businesses and nonprofit groups, also provide
environmental information on the World Wide Web.

NPS pollution occurs when
waler runs over land or through

The Nonpoint Source Management Program
The Clean Water Act of 1972 helped clean up of many of our country's
waters, often achieving dramatic improvements. Despite those
successes, approximately 36 percent ofthe Nation's surveyed river
miles, 37 percent of its surveyed lake acreage, and 37 percent of its
surveyed estuarine square miles are not safe for basic uses such as
swimming or fishing.
States, territories, and tribes estimate that at least half of these
impairments, as well as significant ground water contamination, are
caused by nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, making it the Nation's
leading source of water quality problems. To address these problems,
Congress amended the Clean Water Act in 1987. Congress established
the NPS Pollution Management Program under section 319 of the
amendments. The program provides states, territories, and tribes with
grants to implement NPS pollution controls described in approved NPS
pollution management programs.
In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began
awarding grants to states, territories, and tribes with approved
programs. By 1991, all 50 states and the territories had received EPA
approval; by 1995, 7 tribes also had received approval. Since 1990,
recipients of 319 grants have directed approximately 40 percent of
awarded fiinds toward controlling NPS pollution from agricultural
lands. In addition, nearly one-quarter of the money was used for general
assistance purposes, including fiinding for outreach and technical
assistance. Efforts to control runoff from urban sources, septic systems,
and constmction also received significant funding under section 319, as
did projects to manage wetlands and NPS pollution from forestry,
habitat degradation, and changes to stream channels.
In 1991, EPA established the National Monitoring Program to evaluate
the effectiveness of NPS pollution control projects. Fourteen state-
proposed projects wOl be evaluated over a 6- to 10-year period. The
findings from this effort will help states, territories, and tribes develop
more successfiil NPS pollution controls in other watersheds.
As of 1995, EPA had awarded states, territories, and tribes $370 miUion under section 319 to
implement NPS pollution control. Section 319 Success Stories provides examples of how states,
territories, and tribes chose to use section 319 fimds.
How Section 319 Works
Assessment Reports
http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point4.htm 9/27/01
All states, territories, and some tribes have met two basic requirements to be eligible for a section 319
grant, the first of which is to develop and gain EPA approval of a NPS pollution assessment report. In
the assessment report, the state, territory, or tribe identifies waters impacted or threatened by NPS
pollution. The state, territory, or tribe also describes the categories of NPS pollution, such as
agriculture, urban mnoff, or forestry, that are causing water quality.
Management Programs
To meet the second requirement a state, territory, or tribe must develop and obtain EPA approval of a
NPS pollution management program. This program becomes the framework for controlling NPS
pollution, given the existing and potential water quality problems described in the NPS pollution
assessment report. A well-developed management program supports activities with the greatest
potential to produce early, demonstrable water quality results; assists in the building of long-term
institutional capacity to address NPS pollution problems; and encourages strong interagency
coordination and ample opportunity for public involvement in the decision-making process.
How to Get Involved
The addresses and telephone numbers of state and territory nonpoint source oflScials are listed in the
Nonpoint Source Water Quality Contacts Directory. These individuals can inform citizens about
section 319 program activities in their home state or territory. They can also let citizens know how to
become involved in the periodic updates of section 319 NPS assessments and NPS management
programs.

Protecting Coastal Waters from Nonpoint Source PoUution
Coastal waters provide homes for an amazing array of plants and
animals and are recreational havens for more than 180 million visitors
each year. Yet, high levels of pollution prevented people from
swimming safely at coastal beaches on more than 12,000 occasions from
1988 through 1994, and the latest National Water Quality Inventory
reports that one-third of surveyed estuaries (areas near the coast where
^ seawater and freshwater mixing occurs) are damaged. Rapidly
increasing population growth and development in coastal regions could
be a source of even more coastal water quality problems in the fiiture.
Did you know
that by 2010,
almost one-half of
Ufe l/.S. popula-
tion will live near
coastal waters In
regions that make
up only 10 percent
of our country s
land areas?
A significant portion of the threats to coastal waters are caused by
nonpoint source pollution (NPS). Major sources in coastal waters
include agriculture and urban mnoff. Other significant sources include
faulty septic systems, forestry, marinas and recreational boating,
physical changes to stream channels, and habitat degradation, especially
the destmction of wetlands and vegetated areas near streams.
In 1990, Congress passed the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization
Amendments (CZARA) to tackle the nonpoint source pollution problem
in co£istal waters. Section 6217 of CZARA requires the 29 states and
territories with approved Coastal Zone Management Programs to
develop Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Programs. In its program, a
state or territory describes how it will implement nonpoint source
pollution controls, known as management measures, that conform with
those described in Guidance Specifying Management Measures for
Sources of Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters.
If these original management measures fail to produce the necessary
coastal water quality improvements, a state or territory then must
implement additional management measures to address remaining water
quality problems. Approved programs will update and expand upon
NPS Management Programs developed under section 319 of the Clean
Water Act and Coastal Zone Management Programs developed under
section 306 of the Coastal Zone Management Act.
The coastal nonpoint program strengthens the links between federal and state/territory coastal zone
management and water quality programs in order to enhance efforts to manage land management
activities that degrade coastal waters and coastal habitats. State and territorial coastal zone agencies
and water quality agencies have coequal roles, as do the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the federal level.
Coastal Nonpoint PoUution Control Programs
In 1995, coastal states and territories submitted their coastal nonpoint programs to EPA and NOAA

for review and approval. States and territories are scheduled to implement the first phase of their
approved program by 2004 and, if necessary, the second phase by 2009. Approved programs include
several key elements, described below.
Boundary. The boundary defines the region where land and water uses have a significant impact on a
states or territorys coastal waters. It also includes areas where future land uses reasonably can be
expected to impair coastal waters. To define the boundary, a state or territory may choose a region
suggested by NOAA or may propose its own boundary based on geologic, hydrologic, and other
scientific data.
Management Measures. The state or territory coastal nonpoint program describes how a state or
territory plans to control NPS pollution within the boundary. To help states and territories identify
appropriate technologies and tools, EPA issued Guidance Specifying Management Measures for
Sources of Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters. This technical guidance describes the best available,
economically achievable approaches used to control NPS poUution from the major categories of land
management activities that can degrade coastal water quaUty. States or territories may elect to
implement altemative measurement measures as long as the altemative measures wiU achieve the same
environmental results as those described in the guidance.
Enforceable Policies and Mechanisms. States and territories need to ensure the implementation of the
management measures. Mechanisms may include, for example, permit programs, zoning, bad actor
laws, enforceable water quaUty standards, and general environmental laws and prohibitions. States and
territories may also use voluntary approaches Uke economic incentives if they are backed by
appropriate regulations.
Final Approval and Conditional Approval
In certain circumstances, NOAA and EPA may grant a program conditional approval for up to 5 years.
Conditional approval provides a state or territory additional time to fiiUy develop its management
program while it begins initial program implementation. Conditional approval would include
benchmarks for progress toward eventual fiiU program development and approval.

Managing Urban Runoff
The most recent National Water Quality Inventory reports that runoff
from urban areas is the leading source of impairments to surveyed
estuaries and the third largest source of water quaUty impairments to
surveyed lakes. In addition, population and development trends indicate
that by 2010 more than half of the Nation wUl Uve in coastal towns and
cities. Runoff from these rapidly growing urban areas wUl continue to
degrade coastal waters.
To protect surface water and ground water quaUty, urban development
and household activities must be guided by plans that Umit mnoff and
reduce poUut2int loadings. To this end, communities can address urban
water quality problems on both a local and watershed level and gamer
the institutional support to help address urban runoff problems.
How Urban Areas Affect Runoff
Increased Runoff, The porous and varied terrain of natural landscapes
Uke forests, wetlands, and grasslands trap rainwater and snowmelt and
aUow it to slowly filter into the ground. Runoff tends to reach receiving
waters graduaUy. In contrast, nonporous urban landscapes like roads,
bridges, parking lots, and buUdings don't let mnoff slowly percolate into
the groimd. Water remains above the surface, accumulates, and runs off
in large amoimts.
Cities instaU storm sewer systems that quickly channel this mnoff from
roads and other impervious surfaces. Rimoff gathers speed once it enters
the storm sewer system. When it leaves the system and empties into a
stream, large volumes of quickly flowing runoff erode streambanks,
damage streamside vegetation, and widen stream channels. In turn, this
wiU result in lower water depths during non-storm periods, higher than
normal water levels during wet weather periods, increased sediment
loads, and higher water temperatures. Native fish and other aquatic Ufe
cannot survive in urban streams severely impacted by urban runoff.
Increased Pollutant Loads, Urbanization also increases the variety and amount of poUutants
transported to receiving waters. Sediment from development and new constmction; oU, grease, and
toxic chemicals from automobUes; nutrients and pesticides from turf management and gardening;
vimses and bacteria from faUing septic systems; road salts; and heavy metals are examples of poUutants
generated in urban areas. Sediments and soUds constitute the largest volume of poUutant loads to
receiving waters in urban areas.
When mnoff enters storm drains, it carries many of these poUutants with it. In older cities, this poUuted
mnoff is often released directly into the water without any treatment. Increased poUutant loads can
harm fish and wUdUfe populations, kiU native vegetation, foul drinking water suppUes, and make

Point and Nonpoint Distinctions
There are two different types of laws that help control urban runoff: one focusing on urban point
sources and the other focusing on urban nonpoint sources. Urban point source poUution is addressed
by the National PoUution Discharge EUmination System permit program of the Clean Water Act, which
regulates stormwater discharges. Urban nonpoint source poUution is covered by nonpoint source
management programs developed by states, territories, and tribes under the Clean Water Act. In states
and territories with coastal zones, programs to protect coastal waters from nonpoint source poUution
also are required by section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments.
Measures to Manage Urban Runoff
Plans for New Development New developments should attempt to maintain the volume of runoff at
predevelopment levels by using stmctural controls and poUution prevention strategies. Plans for the
management of runoff, sediment, toxics, and nutrients can establish guidelines to help achieve both
goals. Management plans are designed to protect sensitive ecological areas, minimize land
disturbances, and retain natural drainage and vegetation.
Plans for Existing Development ControUing runoff from existing urban areas tends to be relatively
expensive compared to managing runoff from new developments. However, existing urban areas can
target their urban mnoff control projects to make them more economical. Runoff management plans
for existing areas can first identify priority poUutant reduction opportunities, then protect natural areas
that help control runoff, and finaUy begin ecological restoration and retrofit activities to clean up
degraded water bodies. Citizens can help prioritize the clean-up strategies, volunteer to become
involved with restoration efforts, and help protect ecologicaUy valuable areas.
Plans for Onsite Disposal Systems. The control of nutrient and pathogen loadings to surface waters
can begin with the proper design, instaUation, and operation of onsite disposal systems (OSDSs). These
septic systems should be situated away from open waters and sensitive resources such as wetlands and
floodplains. They should also be inspected, pumped out, and repaired at regular time intervals.
Household maintenance of septic systems can play a large role in preventing excessive system
discharges.
Public Education, Schools can conduct education projects that teach students how to prevent
poUution and keep water clean. In addition, educational outreach can target specific enterprises, such
as service stations, that have opportunities to control runoff onsite. Many communities have
implemented storm drain stenciling programs that discourage people from dumping trash directly into
storm sewer systems.

STORMWATER BEST MANAGEIMENT PRACTICES
The following are a list of BMPs may be used to minimize the introduction of pollutants
of concem that may result in significant impacts to receiving waters. Other BMPs
approved by the Copermittee as being equally or more effective in pollutant reduction
than comparable BMPs identified below are acceptable. See Appendix B: Suggested
Resources for additional sources of information. All BMPs must comply with local
zoning and building codes and other applicable regulations.
Site Design BIVIPs
Minimizino Impervious Areas
" Reduce sidewalk widths
" Incorporate landscaped buffer areas between sidewalks and streets.
• Design residential streets for the minimum required pavement widths
• Minimize the number of residential street cul-de-sacs and Incorporate
landscaped areas to reduce their impervious cover.
• Use open space development that incorporates smaller lot sizes
• increase building density while decreasing the buiiding footprint
• Reduce overall lot imperviousness by promoting alternative driveway
surfaces and shared driveways that connect two or more homes together
• Reduce overall imperviousness associated with parking lots by providing
compact car spaces, minimizing stall dimensions, incorporating efficient
parking lanes, and using pervious materials in spillover parking areas
Increase Rainfall Inflltration
• LIse permeable materials for private sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, and
interior roadway surfaces (examples: hybrid lots, parking groves, permeable
overflow parking, etc.)
• Direct rooftop runoff to pervious areas such as yards, open channels, or
vegetated areas, and avoid routing rooftop runoff to the roadway or the urban
runoff conveyance system
Maximize Rainfall Interception
• Maximizing canopy interception and water conservation by preserving
existing native trees and shrubs, and planting additional native or drought
tolerant trees and large shrubs.
Minimize Directiv Connected Impervious Areas (DCIAs)

• Draining rooftops into adjacent landscaping prior to discharging to the storm
drain
• Draining parking lots into landscape areas co-designed as biofiltration areas
• Draining roads, sidewalks, and impervious trails into adjacent landscaping
Slope and Channel Protection
• Use of natural drainage systems to the maximum extent practicable
• Stabilized pennanent channel crossings
• Planting native or drought tolerant vegetation on slopes
• Energy dissipaters, such as riprap, at the outlets of new stomi drains,
culverts, conduits, or channels that enter unlined channels
Maximize Rainfall Interception
• Cisterns
• Foundation planting
Increase Rainfall Infiltration
• Dry wells
