6 These regulations require the Tracy Unified school district (TUSD), Tracy , california to obtain coverage under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The permit covers Storm Water discharges associated with the school district s municipally separate Storm sewer system (MS4) and requires TUSD to develop a SWMP and report annually on progress. This SWMP outlines activities for the 5 year implementation period which commences following approval of the SWMP by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). In 1990, EPA promulgated rules establishing Phase I of the NPDES Storm Water program. The Phase I program for MS4s requires operators of medium and large MS4s that is, those that generally serve populations of 100,000 or greater to implement a Storm Water Management program as a means to control polluted discharges from these MS4s.

7 The Storm Water Phase II Rule extends coverage of the NPDES Storm Water program to small MS4s including federal and state facilities, but takes a slightly different approach to developing and implementing the Storm Water Management program. Polluted Storm Water runoff is often transported to MS4s and ultimately discharged into local waterways (rivers, streams, lakes, and bays) without treatment. EPA s Storm Water Phase II Final Rule (Final Rule) establishes an MS4 Storm Water Management program intended to improve the nation s waterways. Common Storm Water pollutants include oil and grease from roadways and parking lots, pesticides from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and trash. These pollutants are deposited into nearby waterways, impacting beneficial uses of the resource and interfering with the habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife.

8 The california State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) regulates discharges to State Waters as established by the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 1962, regulated under Title 23 of the california Code of Regulations (CCR). The TUSD is located within the jurisdiction of the RWQCB, Central Valley Region 5S which administers the EPA NPDES permit program. A SWMP for TUSD has been prepared in response to requirements of the General Phase II Small MS4 Activities Storm Water Permit (General Permit). The General Permit requires applicable dischargers to prepare and implement a SWMP in order to: Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP); Protect Water quality; and Satisfy the appropriate Water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act and RWQCB Basin Plan.

9 PURPOSE This document has been developed to comply with EPA Phase II NPDES requirements promulgated under the Clean Water Act and complies with the General Permit. In Attachment 3, the General Permit identifies TUSD as a non-traditional MS4. A non-traditional MS4 is defined by the general permit as a entity that operated similarly to a traditional MS4, but is operated at a separate campus or facility. Examples of non-traditional MS4 include, but are not limited to universities, state hospitals, state prisons, Draft Revised Storm Water Management Plan Page 1 Tracy Unified school district military installations, school districts and other special districts. This SWMP covers 22 school sites as described in Section 2. The purpose of the SWMP is to (1) identify pollutant sources potentially affecting the quality and quantity of Storm Water discharges, (2) provide best Management practices (BMPs) for municipal and construction activities to reduce contamination in Storm Water and, (3) provide measurable goals to assess the effectiveness of BMPs that are designed to reduce the discharge of the pollutants into the Storm drain system and associated waterways.
