At Municipal-Funding, we help municipalities with improving the storm water problems they are experiencing due to aging infrastructures and with the Federal EPA requiring a 20% reduction in storm water pollution by 2008 and another 20% by 2013. Many states, such as California have their own standards, where fines for failure of compliance may be around $10,000/day. Storm water pollution from point sources and non-point sources is a challenging water quality problem. Unlike pollution from industry or sewage treatment facilities, which is caused by a discrete number of sources, storm water pollution is caused by the daily activities of people everywhere. Rainwater and snowmelt run off streets, lawns, farms, and construction and industrial sites and pick up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many other pollutants on the way to our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Storm water runoff is our most common cause of water pollution. Because storm water pollution is caused by so many different activities, traditional regulatory controls will only go so far. Education and outreach are key components to any successful storm water program. [Source: US EPA] Storm water discharges are generated by runoff from land and impervious areas such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops during rainfall and snow events that often contain pollutants in quantities that could adversely affect water quality. Most storm water discharges are considered point sources and require coverage by an NPDES permit. The primary method to control storm water discharges is through the use of best management practices. USGS found that coal-tar based sealcoat on asphalt pavement has high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which can affect the quality of downstream waters. PAHs are toxic to aquatic life and suspected to be human carcinogens. New Stormwater Case Studies - These case studies are designed to help Phase II municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) get started on or improve their storm water management programs. To address its high growth rate, Douglas County, Colorado developed a successful permit review, issuance and inspection process, and wrote a comprehensive Grading, Erosion and Sediment (GESC) Control manual. The State of Maine developed a public education campaign based exclusively on social marketing principles which raised storm water pollution awareness. Through low interest loans, tax-exempt leasing, grants and municipal bonds, we can fund these projects, giving the communities the ability to perform these projects and avoiding the federal penalties for failure to comply.
