Enforcement
• Enforcement within each section is to be evaluated.
• Are there areas where enforcement changes areneeded?• Do our current enforcement strategies work?• Does our current Ordinance give us the properauthority to adequately enforce?
Monitoring
• Have all deadlines been met in regards to timeframes?• Are the monitoring sites appropriate for the MS4?
• How did you determine your site?• Has monitoring begun?
• Have you developed a Standard OperatingProcedure?• Is there any data to evaluate yet?
How can I make my program better?
• USE the Annual Report template!
• This will give you a better idea of the questions thatwill be asked in the audit.
• Evaluation is essential.
• Look at your lessons learned.
• It’s not all about how many, it can be how well.
• Ask us!
