I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Allen has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as a Phase II municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), and is federally
mandated under the Clean Water Act to apply for a permit to discharge storm water to
Waters of the United States. The EPA granted the Phase II permitting authority for the
State of Texas to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The TCEQ
requires that regulated MS4s seek authorization to discharge storm water under a Texas
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Permit TXR040000. This
. TPDES permit will authorize the City of Allen to discharge storm water to Waters of the
United States over a five-year permit term.
is
The City of Allen Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) has been prepared to
meet the requirements for the TPDES General Permit TXR040000. The SWMP is a
comprehensive storm water quality program developed with the goal of minimizing
pollution in storm water to the maximum extent practicable and effectively prohibiting
illicit discharges to the storm sewer system. The program incorporates a variety of best
management practices (BMPs) that have been selected to provide specific storm water
quality improvements and satisfy the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) that are
required in the SWMP. The program provides a description of the selected BMPs, a
schedule for implementation of the BMPs and measurable goals to evaluate and track
the implementation process. The City of Allen has actively participated in storm water
quality improvement measures and seeks to continue that trend through the continued
development and implementation of this Storm Water Management Program.

pollution. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and
■ practices to control runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from
raw material storage.
■
Illicit Connection - any man-made conveyance connecting an illicit discharge directly to
■ a municipal separate storm sewer.
■ Illicit Discharge - any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not entirely
■ composed of storm water, except discharges authorized under this general permit or a
separate TPDES permit and discharges resulting from fire fighting activities.
■ Large Construction Activity - Construction activities including clearing, grading, and
■ excavating that result in land disturbance of equal to or greater than five (5) acres of

III. PROGRAM RATIONALE
■
A. Regulatory Requirements
■
The TCEQ has issued a draft TPDES General Permit Number TXR040000, requiring
■
small MS4s to apply for authorization to discharge storm water to surface waters in the
State of Texas, defined as Waters of the United States. This new general permit is
■
issued pursuant to Section 26.040 of the Texas Water Code and Section 402 of the
Clean Water Act.
■
The City of Allen meets the definition of a small MS4 as defined in the permit
■
document and must therefore make application to the TCEQ for authorization to
■
discharge storm water to surface waters in the state. Application for coverage under
this permit includes the submittal of a Notice of Intent (NOI) form and preparation of a
■
Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The permit provides coverage for a five-
year period, and requires an annual update and status report submittal to TCEQ. The
■
document contained herein serves as the SWMP for the City of Allen.
■
The SWMP must provide a listing and description of programs, activities and physical
features, known as best management practices (BMPs) developed to prevent pollution
■
in the storm water to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). BMPs are required to be
developed for six storm water quality focus areas, known as minimum control
■
measures (MCMs). The six MCMs are:
■
1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
2. Public Involvement/Participation
■
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
■
5. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
6. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
■
Redevelopment
■
Each MCM must contain an appropriate number and type of BMPs to satisfy the permit
■
requirements to the maximum extent practicable. The permit regulations state that
existing programs or BMPs may be used to satisfy the requirements of this SWMP.
■
BMPs must include a schedule of implementation during the five-year permit period
and a determination of measurable goals to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMP. A
■
description of how each measurable goal will be evaluated must also be provided.
■
It was the intent of the TCEQ to provide a general permit for small MS4s with enough
flexibility to create a storm water program to meet the unique, individual needs of
■
smaller systems. The program is to be developed by the MS4 operator (in this case
the City of Allen) such that it effectively reduces pollutants to the receiving Waters of
■
the United States.

B. Storm Water Management Program Development
On August 12, 2002, the Allen City Council voted to retain Teague Nall and Perkins,
Inc, (TNP) a municipal consulting firm to assist with the preparation of the City's Storm
Water Management Program. TNP performed the steps described in this section to
determine the most appropriate BMPs for the City of Allen
1. BMP SELECTION PROCESS
A comprehensive BMP Inventory was developed using various BMP resources
including the EPA's National Menu of BMPs and the North Central Texas Council
of Governments Menu of Management Plan Options for Small MS4s in North
Central Texas. The BMP Inventory provided an inclusive list of BMPs for each
MCM. City of Allen personnel reviewed the list and indicated the BMPs that were
in existence in the City, and also identified potential future BMPs that could best
■
achieve the goal of improved storm water quality. Existing BMPs were reviewed
■
and compared with regulatory requirements in the draft permit for each MCM.
Where existing programs and regulatory authority were incomplete, additional
BMPs were recommended. TNP met with City of Allen personnel for a final
selection of BMPs to reduce pollutants to the MEP. Public informational meetings
and public hearings were held at Allen City Hall to inform the public about the
program and to invite the public to help in the development process. A list of
selected BMPs for each MCM was developed and is provided in Section IV, Storm
Water Management Program.
2. SELECTION OF MEASURABLE GOALS
The TPDES permit stipulates the development of measurable goals for each BMP,
with a description of how the measurable goal will be evaluated. Measurable goals
were selected to assess the appropriateness of the identified BMP, provide
progress towards achieving the statutory goal of reducing the discharge of
pollutants to the MEP, and evaluate the success of implementation of the BMP.
Effort was made to select measurable goals that provide specific information
documented at the time a BMP is implemented. A description of the measurable
goal and implementation schedule for each BMP is provided in the SWMP
Summary in Section IV.
3. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
The TPDES permit language indicates that BMPs may be performed or phased
into the program over the five-year period of permit coverage, such that the
program is completely implemented by the permit expiration date. The City of
Allen has historically been proactive in protecting the quality of its storm water
runoff. Consequently many of the BMPs required are already being practiced in
the City and will continue to be practiced or will be improved upon over the permit
term. The implementation schedule attempts to phase in BMPs such that all BMPs
for Year 1 take credit for existing programs. This will allow the City to implement
additional BMPs in the following years in a fiscally responsible manner, with
adequate planning to ensure their success. The progression of implementation
aims to continually increase storm water quality in the City of Allen to the MEP over
■ the five-year permit term.

4. ANNUAL REPORTING AND TRACKING
TNP has provided the City of Allen with specific forms and documentation needed
to prepare concise annual reports to the TCEQ. The documents include the
SWMP Summary and Master Tracking Table that identifies each BMP and the
schedule for implementation. In addition, a BMP Annual Report Form was
developed to provide a method of evaluation for each BMP as required in the
General Permit.

IV. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Allen's Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) contains a listing of BMPs
to meet the requirements for each minimum control measure (MCM) to the maximum
extent practicable. The following program is organized according to the six MCMs. Under
each MCM heading the TPDES regulatory text is stated, followed by a listing of the
proposed BMPs being implemented to meet the requirements, and a SWMP Summary
and Master Tracking Table that describes the BMPs and the proposed schedule for
implementation.
The following SWMP identifies some BMPs under more than one MCM. The selection of
BMPs that attain multiple storm water quality benefits is more beneficial to the City of Allen
and their SWMP, and is also recommended by the permitting authority. For example, the
BMP entitled Household Hazardous Waste Program satisfies two MCMs. The program
educates the community about hazards associated with improper disposal of hazardous
waste and directly involves the community with pollution prevention measures. The dual
purpose of the Household Hazardous Waste Program therefore fulfills the requirements of
both the Public Education and Outreach MCM and the Public Involvement and
Participation MCM.

(5) commercial and industrial facilities; and
(6) construction site personnel.
The outreach must inform the public about the impacts polluted storm water run-off can have on
water quality, hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste, and
ways they can minimize their impact on storm water quality.
(b) Via documentation, the MS4 operator must ensure that a reasonable attempt was made to
reach all constituents within the MS4 area to meet this measure.

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
TPDES Permit Regulatory Text
Part III.A.3
(a) Illicit Discharges
A section within the SWMP must be developed to establish a program to detect and
eliminate illicit discharges to the MS4. The SWMP must include the manner, ordinance
or other regulatory mechanism, used to effectively prohibit illicit discharges.
(b) Non -Storm Water Discharges
A section within the SWMP must be developed to establish a program to detect and
address non -storm water discharges and illegal dumping to the MS4. All non -storm
water flows ... must be considered by the permittee to determine if they are a significant
contributor of pollutants to the MS4. All non -storm water discharges that significantly
contribute pollutants to the MS4 must be effectively prohibited.
(c) Incidental Non -Storm Water Discharges
The SWMP must also include a provision prohibiting any individual non -storm water
discharge that is determined to be contributing significant amounts of pollutants to the
MS4.

POLLUTION PREVENTION/GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
TPDES Permit Regulatory Text
Part III.A.4
A section within the SWMP must be developed to establish and operation and maintenance
program. The operation and maintenance program must have the ultimate goal of identifying
methods and practices for conducting municipal operations in a manner to prevent or reduce
pollution in storm water runoff.
(a) Good Housekeeping and Best Management Practices., Controls must be used to reduce
or eliminate the discharge of pollutants when runoff from municipal operations is
determined to be a significant contributor of pollution to the MS4.
(b) Training: A training program must be developed for all employees responsible for
municipal operations subject to the pollution prevention/good housekeeping program.
The training program must include training materials directed at preventing and reducing
storm water pollution from municipal operations. Examples or descriptions of training
materials being used must be included in the SKIMP.
(c) Structural Control Maintenance: If best management practices include structural
controls, maintenance of the controls must be performed at a frequency determined by
the MS4 operator and consistent with maintaining the effectiveness of the BMP.
(d) Disposal of Waste: Waste removed from the MS4, from structural controls, or collected
as a result of municipal operations and maintenance activities must be properly
. disposed. A section within the SEMP must be developed to include procedures for the
proper disposal of waste.
■ (e) Municipal Operations and Industrial Activities, The SWMP must include a list of all
municipal operations that are subject to the operation, maintenance, or training program
developed under the conditions of this section; and municipally owned or operated
industrial activities that are subject to TPDES storm water regulations.
The SKIMP must include an individual permit number, general permit authorization
number, or a copy of a signed NOI or NEC for each industrial activity conducted by the
MS4 and subject to TPDES storm water regulations. If an NOI or NEC has been
submitted, but an acknowledgement has not yet been received from the TCEQ, a copy
of the submitted NOI or NEC Form may be made readily available.
