The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s (WVDEP) Division of Water & Waste Management is proposing to reissue the West Virginia National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Water Pollution Control Permit WV0116025, which covers discharges to waters of the state from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). The agency is proposing that the General Permit be issued for a five-year term.
An MS4 is a conveyance or system of conveyances that is:
* Owned by a state, city, town, village or other public entity that discharges to waters of the U.S.
* Designed or used to collect or convey stormwater (e.g., storm drains, pipes, ditches)
* Not a combined sewer
* Not part of a sewage treatment plant, or publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
This General Permit regulates storm water runoff from MS4s and is designed to prevent stormwater runoff from washing harmful pollutants into local surface waters.
The draft permit and fact sheet are available on the WVDEP website at:
