Academy Protects Storm Water Run-off Quality from Urbanized Areas

The 2000 population census classified the Academy as an urbanized area. Resulting from the census, the Academy was issued an EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, referred to as a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems General Permit, or MS4 Permit. It is anticipated that the 2010 population census will continue to classify the Academy as an urbanized area. The Academy’s MS4 Permit will be reissued by the EPA during 2010 with increased regulatory requirements. The intent of the permit is to eliminate or reduce pollutants from entering waterways from urbanized areas.

"Common pollutants from urbanized areas include sediment, oil, grease, trash, and lawn chemicals," said Matt Lewis, 10th Civil Engineer Squadron water quality manager. "When discharged to waterways through storm water outfalls, these pollutants can impair water quality affecting a number of surface water uses."

Though there is currently no numerical discharge standards associated with the permit, the Academy is required to identify and implement storm water best management practices (BMPs) pursuant to MS4 permit categories. Three of the six permit categories, Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts, Public Participation/Involvement, and Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations identify BMPs in achieving permit goals. The BMPs, with associated measurable goals, are annually updated and submitted to the EPA in a report.

"The Academy has implemented many BMPs to reduce pollutants from entering waterways including BMPs for housing areas," Mr. Lewis said. The following activities performed by housing residents require proper management to reduce pollutants from entering waterways:

Vehicle Repair and Maintenance –

restricted. The auto hobby shop, or off-installation service stations, provides maintenance location alternatives. When servicing your vehicle off installation, please do not allow petroleum products, and other chemicals, to be exposed to storm water.

Lawn Maintenance –

Municipal Trash –

Household Hazardous Waste –

Privately Owned Vehicle Washing –

In addition to potential water quality impacts from housing areas, many jobs performed at the Academy purchase, manage, use materials, and generate waste, which if exposed to storm water, may impact receiving water quality. For example, various materials including petroleum, oils, lubricants, if left exposed to the storm water, can impact receiving water quality. Academy employees are urged to use every reasonable precaution when performing day-to-day work responsibilities in eliminating pollutants released into the environment which may come into contact with storm water.
