effective impervious surfaces (defined
as impervious surfaces with direct
hydraulic connection to the downstream
drainage (or stream) system, also
referred to as directly connected
impervious area), use of site-specific
calculations to determine
predevelopment hydrology, and/or use
of regional specific standards to reflect
local circumstances. EPA could require
these standards as part of the MS4
permit on a site-specific basis. EPA is
interested in input regarding the need
for and the type of standards to set.
Should the standard be different for
discharges from new development
versus redevelopment and, if so, how
should it differ? Are there specific
circumstances in which (for example) a
requirement for new development and
redevelopment to maintain predevelopment hydrology would not be
advisable or would cause other
environmental impacts? Finally, EPA is
interested in input regarding
responsibility for maintaining
stormwater control measures that
infiltrate, evapotranspirate and/or reuse
water.
The impacts from stormwater
discharges from new and redevelopment
occur not only within the MS4 but also
from sources outside the MS4 regulated
areas. EPA is interested in input
regarding the appropriate framework for
implementing standards for new and
redevelopment outside of the MS4
regulations.
3. Develop a single set of consistent
requirements for Phase I and Phase II
MS4s. EPA’s Phase I regulations
primarily contain application
requirements that identify components
that must be addressed in permit
applications. The Phase II regulations
establish six ‘‘minimum measures’’ that
must be included in an MS4 permit that
were more specific than Phase I. Many
Phase I and Phase II permits address
issues that are virtually identical. EPA
requests input on whether EPA should
modify the regulations to develop a
consistent set of requirements that
would apply to all regulated MS4s. For
example, should EPA apply the six
minimum measures to all MS4s? Should
EPA add other measures? For instance,
Phase I MS4s are required to implement
a program to control discharges for
industrial facilities in their service area.
Should this requirement be extended to

all MS4s? EPA also requests input on
any other modifications to improve the
stormwater regulations.
4. Require MS4s to address
stormwater discharges in areas of
existing development through
retrofitting of the sewer system, drainage
area, or individual structures with
improved stormwater control measures.
Stormwater discharge from large areas
of impervious cover in developed areas
is a significant contributor to water
quality impairments in the receiving
waters of urban areas. Changes to the
stormwater management practices in
areas of existing development will
reduce these impacts. In some states,
MS4 permits now require the MS4 to
install retrofit practices that infiltrate or
otherwise retain stormwater in areas of
existing development to reduce these
impacts. EPA requests input on whether
it should consider requirements for the
retrofit of existing development to
address stormwater. In particular, EPA
requests comment on requiring MS4s to
develop a long-term retrofit
implementation plan that is targeted to
addressing stormwater problems in
urban waters.
5. Whether EPA should include
additional changes to the stormwater
regulations (for example, requiring
permits to include buffer requirements)
in sensitive areas. EPA is interested in
views on whether it should consider
making any other changes to the current
regulatory program (e.g., specific
structural or nonstructural stormwater
control measures) in addition to the
ones described above to protect
waterbodies in sensitive areas.
