Which component is typically included in an MS4 stormwater program?

MS4 stormwater programs are built around controlling pollutants in urban runoff through the use of best management practices and ongoing monitoring to measure effectiveness. Monitoring and BMP implementation are central because they provide the data to show how well the controls are reducing pollutants, guide adjustments to the program, and demonstrate compliance with permit requirements. The other items don’t fit this framework: oil drilling permissions relate to oil operations, air permits for factories pertain to air quality programs, and groundwater extraction quotas deal with groundwater management, not the management of stormwater discharges from municipal systems.
