Ohio Admin. Code 3745-39-02 - Objectives of the Ohio EPA storm water management program for small MS4s
(A) Storm water
runoff continues to harm Ohio's waters. Runoff from lands modified by human
activities can harm surface water resources in several ways, including the
changing of natural hydrologic patterns and elevating pollutant concentrations
and loadings. Storm water runoff may contain or mobilize high levels of
contaminants, such as sediment, suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals,
pathogens, toxins, oxygen-demanding substances and floatables.
(B) The purpose of the Ohio EPA storm water
management program for small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) is
to regulate sources to protect water quality and to establish a comprehensive
storm water management program. In this program, small MS4s have flexibility to
determine the best management practices and measurable goals that are most
appropriate for the system, for each of the six minimum control measures
described in paragraph (C) of rule
3745-39-03
of the Administrative Code.
