This course was developed to provide citizens of municipalities regulated by Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits with a basic understanding of MS4 permit requirements.
All MS4 permittees are required to develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). The SWMP consists of six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) that must be implemented in order to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act and Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law.
This course will provide an overview of the first three MCMs:
MCM 2 – Public Involvement and Participation; and
MCM 3 – Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDD&E).
