This document is a Permit to Discharge Wastewater issued by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for the City of Jackson's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The permit outlines requirements for storm water management and discharge compliance, focusing on reducing pollutants and maintaining water quality standards. The document covers several key sections, including narrative requirements for discharges, reapplication procedures, special conditions, and total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations for specific water bodies like Pearl River and its tributaries.

The permit requires the City of Jackson to continue implementing and enforcing a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) designed to minimize pollutant discharge into receiving waterbodies. The city must submit a reapplication package 180 days before the permit expires, including detailed information such as administrative contacts, organizational charts, and lists of impaired waters. The permit emphasizes compliance with water quality standards, requiring the city to take necessary actions to ensure that storm water discharges do not cause or contribute to violations of water quality standards. The document also highlights the need for ongoing program improvements and adherence to specific guidelines outlined in EPA's MS4 Permit Improvement Guide.
