TMDLS AND PERMIT DESIGNATION
“We agree with the commenter‘s implied assertion that school districts should
implement management measures to control the potential for discharging
pollutants in the watersheds. Therefore, the San Diego Water Board will
consider designating school districts…we do intend to consider the potential
for causing water quality impacts and potential for affecting attainment of
TMDL-derived numeric targets as some of the criteria for prioritizing districts
for enrollment.
Alternatively, please note that the State Water Board may designate a Small
MS4 as a Regulated Small MS4 in response to a petition received under 40
CFR § 122.26(f)…The State Water Board must make a final determination on
any petition within 180 days after receiving the petition.”
