Illicit Discharge:
40 CFR 122.26 (b)(2)
defines an illicit discharge
as any discharge to an MS4
that is not composed
entirely of stormwater,
except allowable
discharges pursuant to an
NPDES permit, including
those resulting from fire
fighting activities.

4 Key Points to Remember about Illicit
Discharges
1) A storm drain that has measurable flow during dry weather containing
pollutants and/or pathogens is considered an illicit discharge. A storm drain with
measurable flow but containing no pollutants is simply considered a discharge.
Ex) Groundwater infiltration

4 Key Points to Remember about Illicit Discharges
2) Each illicit discharge has a
unique frequency, composition and
mode of entry in the storm drain
system.
Frequency → don’t occur every
day
Composition → paint, SSO,
chlorinated water (swimming
pool, water main break)
Mode of Entry → dumping, SSO,
illicit connection

4 Key Points to Remember about Illicit
Discharges
3) Illicit discharges are frequently caused when the sanitary sewer system
interacts with the storm drain system through overflow or illicit connection.

Dry Weather Screening – Permit Requirements
National requirements – CWA / NPDES
TEXAS specific:
ALL MS4’s Required by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to
obtain a Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit from the
TCEQ to discharge stormwater to “surface waters in the State”
![Page 9: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Permit Requirements cities with a population greater than 100,000 were ((or
large MS4’s”.)
Requirements:
Apply for individual permits with specific dry weather screening
requirements
Must address these in their annual report to TCEQ
![Page 10: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

IDDE
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program.
TPDES permit required for phase 1 and level 4 phase 2 cities.
TXR040000.
Phase 1: All outfalls must be screened at least once per permit term.
Phase 2: Source investigation and elimination upon detection of an
illicit discharge.
Level 4 Phase 2: Prioritize problem areas for field screening and
implement by end of permit term.

Getting Ready to Sample
![Page 14: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to Detect Illicit Discharges
Dry weather screening is a field test method for inspecting
stormwater drainage areas to help locate and identify harmful and
illicit discharges to a municipal stormwater system.
Inspecting a storm drainage system during dry weather is an effective
way to find illicit discharges since there should not be any water
flowing during dry weather.
FIND → FIX → PREVENT
![Page 15: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A sampling kit can be used to test for
these parameters:
Copper
Chlorine
Ammonia-nitrogen
Detergents
Conductivity
Turbidity
Temperature
pH
*** By running these tests, field personnel can identify potential pollutants which can then help locate the source of the illicit discharges.

Locating Your Sites
Locate your sites
GPS
GIS, if already available
Other maps
Plan your route
**Make absolutely certain that you
obtain permission from the
landowner before entering any
private property.
![Page 17: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GPS and Map Survey Method
GPS (Global Positioning System)
Accurate, easy to use, rapid positioning
Useful when there’s not a map available
Map Survey
Maps have streets, blocks, contours
Less accurate; more likely to miss small discharge pipes
![Page 18: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Global Positioning System
(GPS) Survey Method
Read manufacturer’s instructions on how to initialize your GPS before first use
Allow GPS to receive satellite signals for about 5 to 10 minutes
This will allow it to download all relevant data in the area
Avoid standing near things that could block signal
Buildings, hills, rock formations, trees, heavy vegetation and bridges can affect the signal received from satellite
Hold unit at arms length, level with shoulder, so your body does not interfere with signal quality
Record point as close as you can to the outfall
Key is labeled with a check-mark or star
After field work is performed, data from GPS should be downloaded into computer for a mapping program
![Page 19: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Map Survey
Method
MAPSCO
Readily available
Easy to use in locating streets and reference points in grid system
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps (Scale of 1:24,000) to conduct outfall inventories
Low equipment cost, however, accuracy can be questionable in areas
![Page 20: Basic Dry Weather Field Screening Workshop...Field observations on the ORI The ORI is designed to record basic characteristics: • Individual storm drain outfalls • Evaluate suspect](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e9f017e708231d4401ead/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Map Survey Method
MAPSCO Street block numbers
Zip codes
City/county names
Points if interest (airports, golf
courses)
USGS Elevation contours
Symbols to identify man-made
features (shading to represent
forested or urbanized areas)
Latitude & longitude
Community or city names
Highways & major streets

Field observations on the ORI
The ORI is designed to
record basic characteristics:
• Individual storm drain
outfalls
• Evaluate suspect outfalls
• Assess the severity of
illicit discharge problems
in a community
The ORI results can then be
used to help guide future
outfall monitoring and
discharge prevention
efforts.
