Title: Illicit Discharge, Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Manual

Summary: As authorized by the CWA, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. To reduce the adverse effects of stormwater runoff, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) instituted its Stormwater Phase II Final Rule on December 8, 1999. This Phase II Stormwater Program is part of the EPA’s NPDES program, which in Colorado is delegated to the Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to administer. The WQCD designated Arapahoe County, as well as the cities, towns, and special districts within the County, as Phase II entities, charged with formally managing runoff from storm events. Commonly referred to as 'stormwater quality management', this effort will reduce the sediment and chemical load on the state's waters. The Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority (SEMSWA) provides stormwater management services within unincorporated Arapahoe County. Arapahoe County was issued an NPDES Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Discharge Permit on March 1, 2003.
