Water Quality-Based Effluent
Limitations
The draft permit includes provisions
to ensure that discharges do not cause
or contribute to exceedances of water
quality standards. The provisions in
Parts 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of the general
permit constitute the water qualitybased effluent limitations of the permit.
The purpose of this part of the permit
is to establish the board inclusion of
water quality-based effluent limitations
for those discharges requiring additional
controls in order to achieve water
quality standards and other water
quality related objectives, consistent
with 40 CFR 122.44(d). The nonnumeric effluent limitation
requirements of this permit are
expressed in the form of control
measures and BMPs (see Part 2.4 of the
general permit).
Non-Numeric Effluent Limitations
When EPA has not promulgated
effluent limitations for a category of
discharges, or if an operator is
discharging a pollutant not covered by
an effluent limitation guideline, effluent
limitations may be based on the best
professional judgment (BPJ) of the
agency or permit writer. The BPJ limits
in the general permit are in the form of
non-numeric control measures,
commonly referred to as best
management practices (BMPs). Nonnumeric limits are employed under
limited circumstances, as described in
40 CFR 122.44(k). EPA has interpreted
the CWA to allow BMPs to take the
place of numeric effluent limitations
under certain circumstances. 40 CFR
122.44(k) provides that permits may
include BMPs to control or abate the
discharge of pollutants when: ‘‘(1)
[a]uthorized under section 304(e) of the
CWA for the control of toxic pollutants
and hazardous substances form
ancillary industrial activities; (2)
[a]uthorized under section 402(p) of the
CWA for the control of stormwater
discharges; (3) [n]umeric effluent
limitations are infeasible; or (4) [t]he
practices are reasonable to achieve
effluent limitations and standards or to
carry out the purposes and intent of the

CWA.’’ The permit regulates stormwater
discharges using BMPs. Due to the
variability associated with stormwater,
EPA believes the use of BMPs is the
most appropriate method to regulate
discharges of stormwater from
municipal systems in accordance with
the above referenced regulation.
The draft permit requires small MS4s
to continue to control stormwater
discharges from the municipal system in
a manner designed to reduce the
discharge of pollutant to the maximum
extent practicable and to protect water
quality. The small MS4s are required to
implement a SWMP consisting of
control measures. These control
measures include the following: public
education and outreach; public
participation; illicit discharge detection
and elimination; construction
stormwater management; stormwater
management in new development and
redevelopment; and good housekeeping
in municipal operations.
Implementation of the SWMP involves
the identification of BMPs and
measurable goals for BMPs. The draft
permit identifies an objective for each
control measure. The small MS4 must
implement the control measures
required by the general permit and
document actions in the SWMP that
demonstrate progress toward
achievement of the objective of the
control measure. The permit also
contains outfall monitoring
requirements that are associated with
implementation of the illicit discharge
detection and elimination program,
recordkeeping and reporting.
