MS4 Permit • Effective Date: December 9, 2002 • Expiration Date: December 9, 2007 • Part I.B.1 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Allocations If a TMDL is approved for any waterbody into which a small MS4 discharges, the Board will review the TMDL to determine whether the TMDL includes requirements for control of storm water discharges. If discharges from the MS4 are not meeting the TMDL allocations, the Board will notify the permittee of that finding and may require that the Storm Water Management Program required in Part II be modified to implement the TMDL within a timeframe consistent with the TMDL. Any such new requirement will constitute a case decision by the Board.
