Here is some background on the MS4 Permit:
2月5日, 2013, the State Water Resources Control Board (State) adopted the Phase II Small Municipal Separate 风暴 Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, 水质令编号. 2013-0001-DWQ, General Permit No. CAS000004 (Phase II 雨水 Permit). The effective date of the permit was July 1, 2013, with the requirements phased in over the five-year permit term. The Phase II 雨水 Permit regulates discharges from Small MS4s and requires Permit holders to implement a stormwater management program. The 西萨克拉门托市 is named as a Small MS4 Permittee in the Phase II 雨水 Permit and implements its stormwater management program locally to prevent and eliminate stormwater pollution to the maximum extent practicable.
