This document is a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for the City of Jackson, issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). The permit outlines detailed requirements for managing stormwater discharge, specifically focusing on the city's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The permit mandates comprehensive stormwater management practices, including developing and maintaining a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP), implementing spill prevention and response plans, controlling pollutant discharges from municipal facilities and vehicle maintenance activities, and conducting regular inspections and reporting.

The permit requires the city to develop and implement specific best management practices (BMPs) for various municipal operations, such as vehicle maintenance, petroleum-contaminated pavement management, and stormwater control. Key requirements include maintaining facility-specific plans, preventing and responding to spills, properly disposing of vehicle fluids and contaminated materials, and submitting annual reports to MDEQ by January 28th each year. The permit allows for potential updates and modifications to the SWMP during its lifecycle, with the understanding that any changes must be documented, reviewed, and approved by the MDEQ or Permit Board.
