Abstract
In 1987, congress amended the Clean Water Act to require the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to establish a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Phase I of this endeavor
focused on municipalities that were greater than 100,000 people. Now, the EPA has started implementation of
Phase II which focuses on the requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in order to qualify
for their NPDES Permit. The requirements for the permit include public education, public involvement, illicit
discharge detection, construction site runoff, and pollution prevention which can be viewed in detail in Chapter
3745-39 of the Ohio Revised Code.
The primary goal of this project became to assist a specific MS4, the Village of Ottawa Hills, in such a way
that will meet the current and future EPA expectations. This not only includes the development of a detailed map
of their storm water infrastructure and implementation of a plan to detect and address non-storm water
discharges, but it also includes educating and involving the public in the maters of storm water control.
This project investigated several different case studies of small and medium municipalities that provided a
variety of detailed options that can be used in order to comply with the NPDES Regulations. This project also
consisted of the use of state-of-the-art mapping software and surveying equipment, which resulted in a final
product in the form of a digital map that is comprehensive, accurate, and can be shared between several different
organizations.

Introduction
In 1987, congress amended the Clean Water Act to require the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Phase I
of this endeavor focused on municipalities that were greater than 100,000 people. Recently, the EPA has
started implementation of Phase II which focuses on the requirements for smaller municipalities in
order to qualify for their NPDES Permit. This phase has been enacted because the larger cities that were
focused on are in compliance or working towards compliance. The EPA can now focus on smaller
communities in order to improve water quality. The Village of Ottawa Hills, Ohio qualifies as a Phase II
candidate and needs assistance in order to meet some of these requirements.
2.0
Problem Statement
Many of the Phase II municipalities are uncertain of the requirements of these NPDES guidelines
and how to meet them. Most do not have an engineering staff that can address these issues. One such
municipality is the Village of Ottawa Hills, Ohio. They have been working to meet the requirements and
it has culminated in the creation of this project.
3.0
Background
The EPA has issued the following requirements in order to help the overall water quality of
these small urbanized communities. These communities are classified as Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer Systems (MS4s) that consists of a conveyance or system including roads, catch basins, curbs,
gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains. It is important to have these laws and regulations
in order to deter activities that may be harmful to the environment and plants and animals.
3.1
Legal Requirements
The requirements for the MS4’s NPDES which can be viewed in detail in Chapter 3745-39 of the
Ohio Revised Code as found in the Appendix. These requirements include:
1. Public education by distributing educational materials and performing outreach about the
potential effects of storm water discharge on the water quality.
2. Public involvement by inviting them to participate in the creation and execution of a storm
water management panel.
3. Developing an illicit discharge detection plan and an elimination plan for the storm water system
including creating a system map and informing the population about the inherent dangers.
4. Construction runoff control for erosion and sedimentation control for construction greater than
one acre which could include silt fences and temporary detention basins.
5. Post construction runoff control to prevent or minimize water quality impacts.
6. Pollution prevention and reduction by a program developed by municipal operations that would
include instructions on pollution prevention measures and methods.

3.2
Pertinence of Regulations
These regulations are important because they outline ways to improve water quality. It is vital
to educate the public in order to prevent unaware citizens from dumping harmful pollutants into
sewers. The system map will aid in operations and maintenance so authorities can determine and isolate
contamination issues. It will also help to improve communication between organizations with an easily
understood and transferrable map. Construction can cause pollution problems so measures must be
implemented to contain contaminations during and afterwards. Eventually after the inventory is done,
there will be steps taken to further reduce pollution. It will be important for the village to use the
system created to improve maintenance on the storm sewer system.
3.3
The Village Ottawa Hills
The Village of Ottawa Hills is a residential suburb of Toledo that had 4,564 residents and 1770
individual parcels according to the 2000 census. It includes two square miles of land with over 30 miles
of roadway and riverfront. A large portion of the roadways include storm sewers.
According to the Lucas County Engineer’s Office records, the main storm infrastructure was
built and designed in 1928 by Consulting Engineer George Champe from Toledo, Ohio. The last dated
comprehensive plan that The Village has in its records is a Sewer Atlas created by William P.
Sanzenbacher in the mid 1960s. It is estimated that the other records, including the storm system map,
are from the same time period.
Since then, the systems have been constantly added to and improved upon by The Village. The
Village is responsible for their storm system, and it is their aspiration to create a comprehensive map of
this system. They approached the University of Toledo about the possibility of creating such a map in a
digital format so that it could be used by both the administrators of The Village and their main
Engineering Contactor SSOE. This map could then also be used to meet their NPDES Permit
requirements that are outlined in the EPA storm water regulations. In the current progress of Phase II,
Ottawa Hills has 5 years from August 24, 2009 to meet the six requirements. They are currently using
Village Ordinances 2007-2 and 2009-8 to comply with the fourth, fifth, and sixth part of the regulations.
4.0
Objectives
The primary objective for this project was to meet the EPA MS4 requirements. Therefore, this
project had to investigate the possible methods to meet the requirements for different municipalities.
This involved not only contacting government agencies and officials, but being able to collaborate with
them to develop mutually beneficial solutions. The final objective of this endeavor became to help the
Village of Ottawa Hills meet their MS4 permit requirements by education and the creation of a
deliverable map.

5.0
Constraints
There were several constraints that controlled the path of this project including:




6.0
The availability of information for small municipalities
o Some were uncooperative
o Some were unable to release records
Feasibility of options
Availability of funds and time
Safety during the field verification of Ottawa Hills
Solution Approach
The first step of this project was to investigate the methods that can be used in order to meet or
exceed the expectations of the Ohio EPA. It was the original intention of the project to be able to create
a model of implementation for different municipalities within Ohio. However, it became apparent that
each of the cities contacted were already working on completing their requirements. Therefore, the
project’s goals were shifted to assist the Village of Ottawa Hills as much as possible. This project became
about helping them meet their public education requirements and developing an accurate map for
detecting illicit discharge. This map will be a final deliverable product that will be able to help the Village
of Ottawa Hills in the future.
6.1
Market Study
The earliest plan for this project involved creating a business model that could be used by
municipalities in order to meet the EPA’s regulations. The model was to include different MS4’s with a
variety of demographics. A list of 285 cities in need of compliance was obtained from the Ohio EPA.
Several of these municipalities, including Lima, Fairborn, and Allen and Wood counties, were contacted
in order to find out what they are doing and how they are going about meeting these requirements.
Also acquired were 32 audits that the EPA had issued to cities regarding the requirements.
These audits contained useful information on how to educate the public and get them involved. While
researching these municipalities, several cities offered annual surveys they had filled out for the EPA.
These surveys contained a great deal of information including the state of compliance and budget
information.
After weeks of contacting numerous municipalities, it was revealed that most of them had
already met the regulations. Since there was little market for the work being offered, it was decided
that the optimum focus of the project should be shifted to the Village of Ottawa Hills and helping them
meet the EPA requirements.

6.2
Gathering Plans
The first step for assisting the Village of Ottawa Hills to create a map was to compile a database
for their infrastructure system. This required obtaining all of the available paper and digital drawings
from as many sources as possible so that the most complete reference for the storm infrastructure
could be created. When they are in digital form, it creates an electronic record that can be easily
referenced, modified, and available for future use. It can also be an option in the software for the digital
plans to be a hyperlink in the map.
The following organizations have been contacted for plans relevant for this project:
6.3

Village of Ottawa Hills Records

SSOE for recently completed projects

City of Toledo Department of Engineering Services

City of Toledo Division of Streets Bridges and Harbors

Ohio Department of Transportation for the State Routes

Lucas County Engineer for Storm and Drainage and Bridge Plans

Lucas County Sanitary Engineer for Sanitary Plans
Map Development
The local governments surrounding the Village of Ottawa Hills utilize GIS (Geographic
Information System) software to manage their inventory. They are actually required to manage the
water and wastewater infrastructure, while the Village is only responsible for the stormwater
infrastructure. Therefore, it was logical to obtain their GIS layers and incorporate the village’s
stormwater infrastructure into them so that all groups can benefit from the data. Refer to the Appendix
for the full description, maps, and ArcReader tutorial of GIS.
The actual infrastructure data was obtained from Lucas County Engineer Robert Neubert and
then the template map in GIS was created with assistance of the University of Toledo Geography
Department. This template was then created in order to produce new elements that would be
consistent with the data that was provided. It was able to also segregate the data solely within the
boundaries of the Village of Ottawa Hills. Through analysis of the plans, structures were entered with
the current count at 1065 catch basins or manholes, 1035 storm lines, 60 outfalls, and 13 septic systems.

6.4
Surveying
In order to verify the points in the plans researched, it was necessary to complete field work in
the Village of Ottawa Hills and physically verify the location of every catch basin and manhole. The
outfalls into the river were also located and verified on the map. A letter of authorization was issued
from the village so that the students could cross into private property in the case residents questioned
the legitimacy of the project or raised issue with the students locating points on private property.
The map drawn in the GIS software was projected into the North American Datum (NAD) of
1983 High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN) for the Ohio State Plane. Therefore, it was possible to
accurately identify objects with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices such as with the GMS-2 as
shown in the Appendix. This state-of-the-art device was obtained from the Lucas County Engineers
Robert Neubert for free since the project is being done for one of their patron villages. However, there
were technical difficulties with the obtained GPS part of the unit.
As a result, the students went out into the field with paper, pencils, and a camera to inventory
the storm infrastructure. The students went street by street verifying the actual location of the
structures and the corresponding outfalls. The findings were documented with photos that were linked
into the GIS map.
There were several issues that became apparent when surveying. One of the most prevailing
was the inaccuracies in the existing plans when compared to the field verification. This could be due to
varying construction plans or even structures that were incapable of being located, such as if a structure
was buried. Another issue that arose was the poor condition of several of the structures. Several
structures were documented to have broken grates, rust, debris and the indication of illegal dumping
such as paint. These issues can be addressed by future maintenance crews of the Village of Ottawa Hills.
It is recommended that the crews use the GIS maps to identify the structures that need to be repaired.
6.5
Public Education and Involvement
There are many ways to educate the public about the importance of water quality. One of the
most effective is to hold public meetings and events. A power point presentation has been prepared
that was presented at an Ottawa Hills Village Council meeting. Such presentations can be held at public
events, such as school assemblies or park events. Pamphlets and handouts can be made available to the
public at city hall. Signs promoting good water quality are also being posted near catch basins and also
the Ottawa River.
Another good example of public education is putting a link on the village’s website or facebook
page. Anyone who visits the website will then have the option to explore the ideas behind this
movement. An article will also be published in the local Ottawa Hills newspaper, The Village Voice,
detailing the work that has been performed by the students.

Results
The final result of this project was to help the Village of Ottawa Hills meet their stormwater
requirements. This included public meetings and literature along with an interactive map. The map will
serve to meet the third requirement set forth by the Ohio EPA. The map created has several layers that
divide the infrastructure into manageable sections. A complete tutorial of the use of the map program
can be viewed in the Appendix.

Economic Analysis
A cost estimate was determined for the services provided to the Village of Ottawa Hills. This
estimate is more of a reflection of the work done by the students to meet the guidelines rather than a
typical estimate of work to be done. The majority of cost for this service is labor as the only major
materials needed were GPS surveying equipment and also a monthly consulting GIS subscription. The
associated cost breakdown can be seen in Table 1. An hourly cost of $40 was estimated in the analysis.
This value will account for an entry level engineer.

Future Steps
The Village of Ottawa Hills will possess all resources created by this project. The map is a
template for future investigations that will be a living document that is subject to constant change. The
Village will be responsible for the upkeep of the GIS system and adding in any new installations. This
map can also incorporate other features such as flood surveys, soil properties, and elevations. It will also
be beneficial to update any errors in the system observed and verify and update the existing data points.
The map can be used to perform routine maintenance on damaged catch basins and also observe which
areas need to be cleaned out.
10.0 Conclusion
This project, while being unconventional, captured the essence of engineering. There were
many issues that became evident when the project was underway. The market study was a very
important factor in determining the path of the project, which in real world applications is often the
case. The students had to collaborate with experts and different branches of government in order to
meet the EPA expectations in the time and budget allotted. The final resulting map that was created is a
valuable tool for the Village of Ottawa Hills. This project involved an engineering approach to problem
solving to be able to plan and generate a practical product.

GIS Maps
a.
Recommendations and Justifications of Software
The two main software considered for this project were ArcGIS that the surrounding
government groups utilizes and AutoCAD that SSOE utilizes in its daily operations. These two different
software each have different advantages and disadvantages that were considered for this project.
For design purposes AutoCADD is a more efficient program to use because of its flexibility in
design elements. However, it has a distinct disadvantage when used for mapping when compared to
GIS. In AutoCADD, one is limited by the amount of information stored in data labels; compared to
ArcGIS, which can have an infinite amount of labels, in the form of data fields that are all stored and
easily recalled through queries in its database. In GIS, these queries can be made about selected
attributes so that only the relevant information appears. These attributes can include installation date,
pipe size, and pipe type that could be relevant for maintenance, inventory, planning and insurance
purposes. One of the more interesting capabilities of the fields in GIS is the hyperlinks that can link to
multiple external images, such as of the structure itself and the plan that it was created on which cannot
be done in AutoCAD. Another important feature of GIS is that the information can be imported and
exported directly from an AutoCAD drawling file.
In GIS, there is a greater adaptive capability in adding not only property fields, but in data layers.
This means that anything from flood information to septic systems can be made into a data layer with its
own symbology that the user specifies. These layers can be easily updated and created through the user.
It is because of this flexibility that this software is utilized by Google Maps, local government agencies as
earlier discussed and federal government organizations such as Homeland Security.

ArcReader Reference
ArcReader is a free online version of GIS that can be downloaded at the link below.
http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcreader/download.html
The goal of this reference is to allow the reader to associate visuals and definitions with many of the
common command and components that are part of ArcReader.
There are several different components that make up a map. The table of contents allows one to choose
the visible layer in the map. The layout toolbar will manage the printing previews of the map. The data
toolbar is where the zoom features, identify, find, measure, and hyperlink tools are located. The markup
toolbar allows annotations to be made to the map that is displayed in the central portion of the window
of the software.
Table of Contents
Data Toolbar
Map Display
Layout Toolbar
Markup Toolbar
Data Toolbar has several important features that allow one to control the view of the map.
The magnifying glasses allow for zooming in out and down pages.
The previous zoom extents are viewable by clicking the back blue
arrow. The Globe refreshes the map incase a layer fails to load.

Table of Contents
-The layer control where
each layer can be turned on
or off by checking the box
next to the Layer
-Next to each Layer there is
the symbol which is
displayed on the map
-Also, by right clicking on
the Layer one can zoom to
that specific layer, find an
attribute or identify a point
-Properties will share the
source of the data

Magnifier could be a helpful tool that will allow another zoom in view of a location to
appear in a new window on the map.
Identify
XY
Hyperlink tool
Find
Measure
XY Find Tool can locate GPS positions
Identify will display attributes by clinking on the Identify symbol then the desired point on
the map. These can be located by flashing, zooming, or panning to the location on the map.
The links can be clicked on and it will open up an external window of the image.

Measure can find
the linear distance, the
area, and a selected
features length.
Find can be used
to search through
the data by either
locating a specific
feature on one or
several layers.
Once the data is
found, one can
identify it, flash on
the map, zoom to
the point on the
map, or pan so that
the zoom extent is
still the same with
the feature in the
middle.

3745-39-02 Objectives of the Ohio EPA storm water management program for small MS4s.
(A) Storm water runoff continues to harm Ohio’s waters. Runoff from lands modified by human activities can harm
surface water resources in several ways, including the changing of natural hydrologic patterns and elevating
pollutant concentrations and loadings. Storm water runoff may contain or mobilize high levels of contaminants, such
as sediment, suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals, pathogens, toxins, oxygen-demanding substances and
floatables.
(B) The purpose of the Ohio EPA storm water management program for small municipal separate storm sewer
systems (MS4s) is to regulate sources to protect water quality and to establish a comprehensive storm water
management program. In this program, small MS4s have flexibility to determine the best management practices and
measurable goals that are most appropriate for their system, for each of the six minimum control measures described
in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-39-03 of the Administrative Code.
(C) What constitutes a municipal separate storm sewer system is often misinterpreted and misunderstood. The term
does not solely refer to municipally owned storm sewer systems, but rather is a term of art with a much broader
application that can include, in addition to local jurisdictions, state and federal facilities, public universities, local
sewer districts, public hospitals, federal installations, military bases and prisons. The municipal separate storm sewer
system is not just a system of underground pipes – it can include roads with drainage systems, gutters and ditches.

[Comment: For dates of non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized organizations and
associations, federal rules and federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see rule 3745-39-01 of the
Administrative Code.]
The rules in this chapter are written in a “readable rule” format. Also included, and identified as such, are comments.
Comments are not legally binding and are recommendations only.
(A) Regulation by rule, designation, petition and waivers under the Ohio EPA storm water management program for
small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).
(1) You are regulated under the Ohio EPA storm water management program for small MS4s if you operate a small
MS4 including, but not limited to, systems operated by federal, state and local governments, including the Ohio
department of transportation, and:
Page 39 of 53
EPA Stormwater Mandate for the Village of Ottawa Hills
The University of Toledo
Department of Civil Engineering
(a) Your small MS4 is located in an urbanized area as determined by the latest decennial census by the United States
bureau of the census, available at public libraries and on the United States bureau of the census web site
www.census.gov; or
(b) You are designated by the director pursuant to paragraph (F) of this rule or are the subject of a petition to the
director to require coverage under an Ohio NPDES permit for your discharge of storm water pursuant to paragraph
(F) of this rule, and said petition is granted.
[Comment: Under paragraph (A)(1)(a) of this rule, you are deemed to be regulated by rule.]
(2) If you are required to obtain coverage under an Ohio national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES)
permit, you must comply with the provisions of this chapter.
(3) The director shall waive the requirements otherwise applicable to you if you meet the criteria of paragraph
(A)(4) or (A)(5) of this rule. If you receive a waiver under this rule, you may subsequently be required to seek
coverage under an Ohio NPDES permit in accordance with this chapter if the director determines that circumstances
for the granting of such waiver have changed.
(4) The director shall waive permit coverage if your small MS4 serves a population of less than one thousand within
the urbanized area and you meet the following criteria:
(a) Your system is not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of a physically interconnected Ohio
NPDES permitted MS4; and
(b) If you discharge any pollutant that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body to which you
discharge, storm water controls are not needed based on wasteload allocations that are part of a United States EPA
approved or established total maximum daily load that addresses the identified pollutant. As used in this rule,
“identified” means in the most recent final report submitted to the United States EPA by the director to fulfill the
requirements of section 303(d) of the act (33 U.S.C. section 1313(d)).
(5) The director shall waive permit coverage if your small MS4 serves a population under ten thousand and you
meet the following criteria:
(a) The director has evaluated all surface waters of the state that receive a discharge from your small MS4;
(b) For all such waters, the director has determined that storm water controls are not needed based on wasteload
allocations that are part of a United States EPA approved or established total maximum daily load that addresses the
pollutant of concern or, if a total maximum daily load has not been developed or approved, an equivalent analysis
that determines to the satisfaction of the director, sources and allocations for the pollutant of concern;
(c) For the purpose of paragraph (A)(5) of this rule, the pollutant of concern include biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), sediment or a parameter that addresses sediment (such as total suspended solids, turbidity or siltation),
pathogens, oil and grease, and any pollutant that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body that
will receive a discharge from your small MS4; and
(d) The director has determined that future discharges from your small MS4 do not have the potential to result in
exceedances of water quality standards, including impairment of designated uses, or other significant water quality
impacts, including habitat and biological impacts.

(6) Reserved.
(7) Ohio EPA will periodically review any waivers granted in accordance with paragraph (A)(5) of this rule to
determine whether any of the information required for granting the waiver has changed. At a minimum, Ohio EPA
will conduct such a review once every five years.
(B) If I am an operator of a regulated small MS4, how do I apply for an Ohio NPDES permit and when do I have to
apply?
(1) If you operate a regulated small MS4 under paragraph (A) of this rule you must seek coverage under an Ohio
NPDES permit issued by the director.
(2) You must seek authorization to discharge under an Ohio NPDES general permit or an Ohio NPDES individual
permit, as follows.
(a) If you are seeking coverage under an Ohio NPDES general permit, you must submit a notice of intent with an
addendum that includes the information on your best management practices, measurable goals and responsible
person, as required by paragraph (C)(4) of this rule. You may file your own notice of intent, or you and other
municipalities or governmental entities may jointly submit a notice of intent. If you want to share responsibilities for
meeting the minimum control measures with other municipalities or governmental entities, you must submit a notice
of intent that describes which minimum control measures you will implement and identify the entities that will
implement the other minimum control measures within the area served by your MS4. The Ohio NPDES general
permit will explain any other steps necessary to obtain permit coverage.
(b) The following are applicable to Ohio NPDES individual permits.
(i) If you are seeking authorization to discharge under an Ohio NPDES individual permit and wish to implement a
program under paragraph (C) of this rule, you must submit an application to the director that includes the
information required under rules applicable to Ohio NPDES individual permits and paragraph (C)(4) of this rule, an
estimate of square mileage served by your small MS4, and any additional information that the director requires. A
storm sewer map that satisfies the requirement of paragraph (C)(2)(c)(ii)(a) of this rule will satisfy the map
requirement applicable to Ohio NPDES individual permit applicants.
(ii) If you are seeking authorization to discharge under an Ohio NPDES individual permit and wish to implement a
program that is different from the program under paragraph (C) of this rule, you will need to comply with the permit
application requirements applicable to applicants for Ohio NPDES individual permits.
(iii) If allowed by the director, you and another regulated entity may jointly apply under either paragraph
(B)(2)(b)(i) or (B)(2)(b)(ii) of this rule to be co-permittees under an Ohio NPDES individual permit.
(c) If your small MS4 is in the same urbanized area as a medium or large MS4 with an Ohio NPDES storm water
permit and that other MS4 is willing to have you participate in its storm water program, you and the other MS4 may
jointly seek a modification of its MS4 permit to include you as a limited co-permittee. As a limited co-permittee,
you will be responsible for compliance with permit conditions applicable to your jurisdiction. If you choose this
option you will need to comply with the permit application requirements applicable to applicants for Ohio NPDES
individual permits rather than the requirements of paragraph (C) of this rule.

[Comment: In referencing an MS4’s storm water management program, you should briefly describe how the
existing plan will address discharges from your small MS4 or would need to be supplemented in order to adequately
address your discharges. You should also explain your role in coordinating storm water pollutant control activities in
your small MS4, and detail the resources available to you to accomplish the plan.]
(3) If you operate a small MS4:
(a) Regulated by rule under paragraph (A)(1)(a) of this rule, you must apply for coverage under an Ohio NPDES
permit, or apply for a modification of an existing Ohio NPDES permit under paragraph (B)(2)(c) of this rule by
March 10, 2003; or
(b) Designated by, or a petition was granted under, paragraph (A)(1)(b) of this rule, you must apply for coverage
under an Ohio NPDES permit, or apply for a modification of an existing Ohio NPDES permit under paragraph
(B)(2)(c) of this rule within one hundred eighty days of notice, unless the director grants a later date.
(C) As an operator of a regulated small MS4, what will my Ohio NPDES permit require?
(1) Your Ohio NPDES permit will require at a minimum that you develop, implement and enforce a storm water
management program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from your small MS4 to the maximum extent
practicable to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of Chapter 6111. of the
Revised Code and the rules adopted thereunder. Your storm water management program must include all of the six
minimum control measures described in paragraph (C)(2) of this rule unless you apply for an Ohio NPDES
individual permit. For purposes of this rule, narrative effluent limitations requiring implementation of best
management practices are generally the most appropriate form of effluent limitations when designed to satisfy
technology requirements (including reductions of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable) and to protect water
quality. Implementation of best management practices consistent with the provisions of the storm water management
program required pursuant to this rule and the provisions of the permit required pursuant to paragraph (B) of this
rule constitutes compliance with the standard of reducing pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable.” You will
have up to five years from the effective date of the permit to develop and implement your program.
(2) Minimum control measures.
(a) Public education and outreach on storm water impacts. You must implement a public education program to
distribute educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of
storm water discharges on water bodies and the steps that the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water
runoff.
[Comment: You may use storm water educational materials provided by the federal, state or local government or
agencies, environmental, public interest or trade organizations, or other MS4s. The public education program should
inform individuals and households about the steps they can take to reduce storm water pollution, such as ensuring
proper operation and maintenance of home sewage treatment systems, ensuring the proper use and disposal of
landscape and garden chemicals including fertilizers and pesticides, protecting and restoring riparian vegetation, and
properly disposing of used motor oil or household hazardous wastes. Ohio EPA recommends that the program
inform individuals and groups how to become involved in local stream and beach restoration activities as well as
activities that are coordinated by youth service and conservation corps or other citizen groups. Ohio EPA
recommends the public education program be tailored, using a mix of locally appropriate strategies, to target
specific audiences and communities. Examples of strategies include distributing brochures or fact sheets, sponsoring
speaking engagements before community groups, providing public service announcements, implementing
educational programs targeted at school age children, and conducting community-based projects such as storm drain
stenciling and watershed and beach cleanups. In addition, Ohio EPA recommends that some of the materials or
Page 42 of 53

The University of Toledo
Department of Civil Engineering
outreach programs be directed toward targeted groups of commercial, industrial and institutional entities likely to
have significant storm water impacts. For example, providing information to restaurants on the impact of grease
clogging storm drains and to garages on the impact of oil discharges. You are encouraged to tailor your outreach
program to address the viewpoints and concerns of all communities, particularly minority and disadvantaged
communities, as well as any special concerns relating to children.]
(b) Public involvement and participation. You must, at a minimum, comply with state and local public notice
requirements when implementing a public involvement and participation program.
[Comment: Ohio EPA recommends the public be included in developing, implementing, and reviewing your storm
water management program and the public participation process should make efforts to reach out and engage all
economic and ethnic groups. Opportunities for members of the public to participate in program development and
implementation include serving as citizen representatives on a local storm water management panel, attending public
hearings, working as citizen volunteers to educate other individuals about the program, assisting in program
coordination with other pre-existing programs, and participating in volunteer monitoring efforts. (Citizens should
obtain approval where necessary for lawful access to monitoring sites.)]
(c) Illicit discharge detection and elimination.
(i) You must develop, implement and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into your small
MS4. For illicit discharges to your MS4 via a neighboring MS4 outside your jurisdiction, you are only required to
inform the neighboring MS4 and inform Ohio EPA of their existence through the routine reports required by your
permit.
(ii) You must:
(a) Develop, if not already completed, a storm sewer system map showing the location of all outfalls and the names
and location of all surface waters of the state that receive discharges from those outfalls;
(b) To the extent allowable under law, effectively prohibit, through ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, nonstorm water discharges into your storm sewer system and implement appropriate enforcement procedures and
actions;
(c) Develop and implement a plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges, including illegal dumping, to
your system; and
(d) Inform public employees, businesses and the general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and
improper disposal of waste.
(iii) You need to address the following categories of non-storm water discharges or flows (i.e., illicit discharges)
only if you identify them as significant contributors of pollutants to your small MS4: water line flushing, landscape
irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising ground waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration, uncontaminated
pumped ground water, discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning condensation,
irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering, individual residential car
washing, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water.
Discharges or flows from fighting fires, not planned training exercises, are excluded from the effective prohibition
against non-storm water and need only be addressed where they are identified as significant sources of pollutants to
surface waters of the state.
Page 43 of 53
EPA Stormwater Mandate for the Village of Ottawa Hills

Department of Civil Engineering
[Comment: Ohio EPA recommends that the plan to detect and address illicit discharges include the following four
components: procedures for locating priority areas likely to have illicit discharges; procedures for tracing the source
of an illicit discharge; procedures for removing the source of the discharge; and procedures for program evaluation
and assessment. Ohio EPA recommends visually screening outfalls during dry weather and conducting field tests of
selected pollutants as part of the procedures for locating priority areas. Illicit discharge education actions may
include storm drain stenciling, a program to promote, publicize and facilitate public reporting of illicit connections
or discharges, and distribution of outreach materials.]
(d) Construction site storm water runoff control.
(i) You must develop, implement and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any storm water runoff to your small
MS4 from construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. Reduction of
storm water discharges from construction activity disturbing less than one acre must be included in your program if
that construction activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would disturb one acre or
more.
(ii) Your program must include the development and implementation of, at a minimum:
(a) An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require erosion and sediment controls, as well as sanctions to
ensure compliance, to the extent allowable under the law;
(b) Requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best
management practices;
(c) Requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck
washout, chemicals, litter and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality;
(d) Procedures for site plan review which incorporate consideration of potential water quality impacts;
(e) Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public; and
(f) Procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures.
[Comment: Examples of sanctions to ensure compliance include non-monetary penalties, fines, bonding
requirements and permit denials for non-compliance. Ohio EPA recommends that procedures for site plan review
include the review of individual pre-construction site plans to ensure consistency with local sediment and erosion
control requirements. Procedures for site inspections and enforcement of control measures could include steps to
identify priority sites for inspection and enforcement based on the nature of the construction activity, topography
and the characteristics of soils and receiving water quality. You are encouraged to provide appropriate educational
and training measures for construction site operators. You may wish to require a storm water pollution prevention
plan for construction sites within your jurisdiction that discharge into your system.]
(e) Post-construction storm water management in new development and redevelopment.
(i) You must develop, implement and enforce a program to address storm water runoff from new development and
redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one acre that are
part of a larger common plan of development or sale, that discharge into your small MS4. Your program must
ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or minimize water quality impacts.
Page 44 of 53
EPA Stormwater Mandate for the Village of Ottawa Hills
The University of Toledo
Department of Civil Engineering
(ii) You must:
(a) Develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural, non-structural, or both types of best
management practices as you determine appropriate for your community;
(b) Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post-construction runoff from new development and
redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under state or local law; and
(c) Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of best management practices.
[Comment: If water quality impacts are considered from the beginning stages of a project, new development and
potentially redevelopment provide more opportunities for water quality protection. Ohio EPA recommends that the
best management practices chosen: be appropriate for the local community; minimize water quality impacts; and
attempt to maintain pre-development runoff conditions. In choosing appropriate best management practices, Ohio
EPA encourages you to participate in locally-based watershed planning efforts that attempt to involve a diverse
group of stakeholders including interested citizens. When developing a program that is consistent with this
measure’s intent, Ohio EPA recommends you adopt a planning process that identifies the municipality’s program
goals (e.g., minimize water quality impacts resulting from post-construction runoff from new development and
redevelopment), implementation strategies, operation and maintenance policies and procedures, and enforcement
procedures. In developing your program, you should consider assessing existing ordinances, policies, programs and
studies that address storm water runoff quality. In addition to assessing these existing documents and programs, you
should provide opportunities to the public to participate in the development of the program. Non-structural best
management practices are preventative actions that involve management and source controls such as: policies and
ordinances that provide requirements and standards to direct growth to identified areas, protect sensitive areas such
as wetlands and riparian areas, maintain or increase open space (including a dedicated funding source for open space
acquisition), provide buffers along sensitive water bodies, minimize impervious surfaces, and minimize disturbance
of soils and vegetation; policies or ordinances that encourage infill development in higher density urban areas, and
areas with existing infrastructure; education programs for developers and the public about project designs that
minimize water quality impacts; and measures such as minimization of per cent impervious area after development
and minimization of directly connected impervious areas. Structural best management practices include: storage
practices such as wet ponds and extended-detention outlet structures; filtration practices such as grassed swales,
sand filters and filter strips; and infiltration practices such as infiltration basins and infiltration trenches. Ohio EPA
recommends that you ensure the appropriate implementation of the structural best management practices by
considering some or all of the following: pre-construction review of best management practices designs; inspections
during construction to verify that best management practices are built as designed; post-construction inspection and
maintenance of best management practices and penalty provisions for the noncompliance with design, construction
or operation and maintenance. Storm water technologies are constantly being improved, and Ohio EPA recommends
your requirements be responsive to these changes, developments or improvements in control technologies.]
(f) Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations. You must develop and implement an
operation and maintenance program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or
reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. Using training materials that are available from the federal,
state or local organizations, your program must include employee training to prevent and reduce storm water
pollution from activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction
and land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance.
[Comment: Ohio EPA recommends that, at a minimum, you consider the following in developing your program:
maintenance activities, maintenance schedules and long-term inspection procedures for structural and non-structural
storm water controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from your separate storm sewers; controls
for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from streets, roads, highways, municipal parking lots,
Page 45 of 53
EPA Stormwater Mandate for the Village of Ottawa Hills
The University of Toledo
Department of Civil Engineering
maintenance and storage yards, fleet or maintenance shops with outdoor storage areas, salt or sand storage locations
and snow disposal areas operated by you, and waste transfer stations; procedures for properly disposing of waste
removed from the separate storm sewers and areas listed above (such as dredge spoil, accumulated sediments,
floatables and other debris); and ways to ensure that new flood management projects assess the impacts on water
quality and examine existing projects for incorporating additional water quality protection devices or practices.
Operation and maintenance should be an integral component of all storm water management programs. This
measure is intended to improve the efficiency of these programs and require new programs where necessary.
Properly developed and implemented operation and maintenance programs reduce the risk of water quality
problems.]
(3) If an existing qualifying local program requires you to implement one or more of the minimum control measures
of paragraph (C)(2) of this rule, the director may include conditions in your Ohio NPDES permit that direct you to
follow that qualifying program’s requirements rather than the requirements of paragraph (C)(2) of this rule. A
qualifying local program is a local, state or municipal storm water management program that imposes, at a
minimum, the relevant requirements of paragraph (C)(2) of this rule.
(4) Information to be submitted.
(a) In your permit application (either a notice of intent for coverage under an Ohio NPDES general permit or an
Ohio NPDES individual permit application), you must identify and submit to the director the following information:
(i) The best management practices that you or another entity will implement for each of the storm water minimum
control measures at paragraphs (C)(2)(a) to (C)(2)(f) of this rule;
(ii) For each best management practice so identified, statements indicating whether the small MS4 has the legal
authority to implement said best management practice;
(iii) The measurable goals for each of the best management practices including, as appropriate, the months and years
in which you will undertake required actions, including interim milestones and frequency of the action; and
(iv) The person or persons, including position title or titles, responsible for implementing or coordinating your storm
water management program.
[Comment: Ohio EPA has made available a menu of best management practices. You may choose best management
practices from the menu or develop other best management practices to satisfy the minimum control measures.]
(5) You must comply with any more stringent effluent limitations in your permit, including permit requirements that
modify, or are in addition to, the minimum control measures based on an approved total maximum daily load or
equivalent analysis. The director may include such more stringent limitations based on a total maximum daily load
or equivalent analysis that determines such limitations are needed to protect water quality.
(6) You must comply with all requirements, standards terms and conditions established in the Ohio NPDES
individual or general permit.
(7) Evaluation; recordkeeping and reporting.
(a) You must evaluate program compliance, the appropriateness of your identified best management practices, and
progress towards achieving your identified measurable goals. The director may impose monitoring requirements for
Page 46 of 53
EPA Stormwater Mandate for the Village of Ottawa Hills
The University of Toledo
Department of Civil Engineering
you in accordance with monitoring plans appropriate to your watershed. Participation in a group monitoring
program is encouraged.
(b) You must keep records required by the Ohio NPDES permit for at least three years from the date they are created
or the term of the permit, whichever is longer. This period may be extended by request of the Ohio EPA at any time.
You must submit your records to the director only when required to do so. You must make your records, including a
description of your storm water management program, available to the public at reasonable times during regular
business hours. You may assess a reasonable charge for copying. You may require a member of the public to
provide advance notice.
(c) Unless you are relying on another entity to satisfy your Ohio NPDES permit obligations under paragraph
(D)(1)(a) of this rule, you must submit reports to the director in accordance with the requirement of your permit.
Your report must include:
(i) The status of compliance with permit conditions, and an assessment of the appropriateness of your identified best
management practices and progress towards achieving your identified measurable goals for each of the minimum
control measures;
(ii) Results of information collected and analyzed, including monitoring data, if any, during the reporting period;
(iii) A summary of the storm water activities you plan to undertake during the next reporting cycle;
(iv) A change in any identified best management practices or measurable goals for any of the minimum control
measures; and
(v) Notice that you are relying on another governmental entity to satisfy some of your permit obligations (if
applicable).
(D) As an operator of a regulated small MS4, may I share the responsibility to implement the minimum control
measures with other entities?
(1) You may rely on another entity to satisfy your permit obligations to implement a minimum control measure if:
(a) The other entity, in fact, implements the control measure;
(b) The particular control measure, or component thereof, is at least as stringent as the corresponding Ohio NPDES
permit requirement; and
(c) The other entity agrees to implement the control measure on your behalf. In the reports you must submit under
paragraph (C)(7)(c) of this rule, you must also specify that you rely on another entity to satisfy some of your permit
obligations. If you are relying on another governmental entity regulated under an Ohio NPDES permit to satisfy all
of your permit obligations, including your obligation to file periodic reports required paragraph (C)(7)(c) of this
rule, you must note that fact in your notice of intent and identify the entity, but you are not required to file the
periodic reports. If you are relying on another governmental entity regulated under an Ohio NPDES permit, or a
non-governmental entity, to satisfy some of your permit obligations, you must note that fact in your notice of intent
and identify the entity, and you are required to file the periodic reports. In any of the above situations, you remain
responsible for compliance with your permit obligations if the other entity fails to implement the control measure (or
component thereof).
[Comment: If you are relying on another entity to perform any of your permit obligations, you are encouraged to
enter into a legally binding agreement with that entity if you want to minimize any uncertainty about compliance
with your permit.]

Department of Civil Engineering
(E) As an operator of a regulated small MS4, what happens if I don’t comply with the application or permit
requirements of this chapter?
(1) Ohio NPDES permits are enforceable under Chapter 6111. of the Revised Code.
(2) If you are covered as a co-permittee under an Ohio NPDES individual permit or under an Ohio NPDES general
permit by means of a joint notice of intent, you remain subject to enforcement actions and penalties for the failure to
comply with the terms of the permit.
(F) Small MS4 designation; petitions.
(1) After providing for public notice and allowing for public comment, small MS4s shall be designated by the
director to obtain Ohio NPDES permit coverage for discharges in any of the following circumstances:
(a) When surface waters of the state within a county, township or municipality where a small MS4 is located are
listed as impaired in the most recent final report submitted to the United States EPA by the director to fulfill the
requirements of section 303(d) of the act (33 U.S.C. section 1313(d)), and the county, township or municipality:
(i) Has a population of at least ten thousand;
(ii) Has a population density of one thousand or more per square mile; and
(iii) Is located outside of an urbanized area;
(b) When a storm water discharge from the small MS4 results in or has the potential to result in an exceedance of
Ohio water quality standards, including impairment of a designated use, or other significant water quality impacts
including habitat and biological impacts to surface waters of the state; or
(c) When a small MS4 contributes substantially to the pollutant loadings of a physically interconnected MS4 that is
regulated by Ohio EPA.
(2) Petitions.
(a) Any person may petition the director for the designation of a small MS4. Any such petition must include a
demonstration of the relevant criteria for designation set forth in paragraph (F)(1) of this rule and the petitioner must
supply the subject MS4 a copy of the petition and supporting documentation. After providing for public notice and
allowing for public comment, the director shall make a final determination on the petition within one hundred eighty
