FOR OFFICE USE ONLY

DATE RECEIVED

DATE REVIEW COMPLETE

REVIEWED BY

PURPOSE

The purpose of the SMS4 Notice of Intent (NOI) is for a Regulated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System located partly, or wholly, in the State of South Carolina to seek authorization to discharge stormwater runoff under SC Phase II NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Regulated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems, SCR030000

INSTRUCTIONS

The following information must be provided to the Bureau of Water, Stormwater Permitting Section as application material.

Application questions are intended to highlight the SWMP requirements under the SMS4 permit. Each element not currently performed must be implemented by the date required in the permit.

NOTE: The proposed stormwater quality management program should provide a forum and a structure by which to encourage, or to allow, the public to participate. There may be specific ways the public might be involved, based on a program’s particular needs. For instance, you may want stream watch groups to be organized. As such, the proposed program should describe how this will be accomplished, and the time schedule. Each SWMP will be reviewed by the Department to ensure it is the functional equivalent of the permit under which the SMS4 is seeking coverage.

This application is divided into five Parts (I thru V) and seven subsequent Sections (1 thru 7). Each must be completed in their entirety. Attached at the end this SMS4 NOI, there are three tables listed as addenda to sections 1 thru 6 to list BMP Measurable Goals and Implementation Milestones for each MCM. Complete each addendum, providing more details on the goals and milestones for each BMP outlined in this NOI as required in the permit and attach them to this NOI.

In Table 1, you must list by name and description the Best Management Practices (BMP) that will be implemented in each area (based on a set of priorities identified in the area). In Table 2, provide the administrative information to complete those identified BMP as explained below. In Table 3, provide more details on the goals and milestones for each BMP outlined in this NOI as required in the permit. Timely submission of this properly completed NOI template satisfies the requirements of SC Water Pollution Control Permits Regulation 61-9 122.1(b), 122.6(1), 122.21(c), (d) & (e), 122.22(a)(3), (b), (c) & (d), 122.26(a)(9) &(f)(5), 122.28(b)(2)(ii), (iii) & (iv), 122.33, 122.34(d) & (e) and 124.52(c) as appropriate

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) MEASURABLE GOALS AND MILESTONES

These tables must be completed and attached for each of Sections 1 thru 6 of this Notice of Intent (NOI)

SECTION 1

TABLE 3: BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The purpose of this addendum is to record the measurable goals for each BMP, and the dates (month and year) by which interim actions are to be accomplished. Space is given for four BMPs for each of the six minimum measures.

Measurable goals are BMP design objectives, or goals that will quantify the progress of implementing the actions or performance of a BMP. They are ways to measure activities or effects of a BMP. For each of the six minimum measures and for each BMP, define the measurable goal you will use to monitor effectiveness of this BMP.

For each BMP, establish milestones for implementation. These tables are set up for once/year milestones. You may change the milestone dates to time frames less than one year. Also, certain BMPs - e.g., an ordinance - should be put in place within one year.
