water quality, hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste, and
steps that they can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater run-off.
(b) The MS4 operator must document activities conducted and materials used to fulfill this control
measure. Documentation shall be detailed enough to demonstrate the amount of resources used
to address each group. This documentation shall be retained in the annual reports required in

3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
3.1 TPDES Permit Regulatory Text – Part III.A.3
(a) Illicit Discharge
A section within the SWMP must be developed to establish a program to detect
and eliminate illicit discharges to the MS4. The SWMP must include the manner
and process to be use to effectively prohibit illicit discharges. To the extent
allowable under state and local law, an ordinance or other regulator mechanism
must be utilized to prohibit and eliminate illicit discharges.
(1) Detection
The SWMP must list the techniques used for detecting illicit discharges.
(2) Elimination
The SWMP must include appropriate actions and, to the extent allowable
under state and local law, establish enforcement procedures for removing
the source of an illicit discharge.
(b) Allowable Non-Storm Water Discharges
Non-storm water flows listed in Part II.B and Part VI.B do not need to be
considered by the MS4 operator as an illicit discharge requiring elimination
unless the operator of the small MS4 or the executive director identifies the flow
as a significant source of pollutants to the small MS4. In lieu of considering non-
storm water sources on a case-by-case basis, the MS4 operator may develop a
list of common and incidental non-storm water discharges that will not be
addressed as illicit discharges requiring elimination. If developed, the listed
sources must not be reasonably expected to be significant sources of pollutants
either because of the nature of the discharge or the conditions that are
established by the MS4 operator prior to accepting the discharge to the small
MS4. If this list is developed, then all local controls and conditions established
for these listed discharges must be described in the SWMP and any changes to
the SWMP must be included in the annual report described in Part IV.B.2 of this
general permit, and must meet the requirements of Part II.D.3 of the general
permit.
(c) Storm Sewer Map
(1) A map of the storm sewer system must be developed and must include the
following:
i. The location of all outfalls;
ii. The names and locations of all waters of the U.S. that receive
discharges from the outfalls; and
iii. Any additional information needed by the permittee to implement its
SWMP.
(2) The SWMP must include the source of information used to develop the
storm sewer map, including how the outfalls are verified and how the map
will be regularly updated.
3.1 (a) 1 Detection
The Town’s program for identification and elimination of illicit discharge sources comprises two
parts:
1) Spill and Complaint Response
2) Field Investigation and Abatement
The following procedures are used to address the ongoing identification and abatement of illicit
discharges:
Spill and Complaint Response
1) Receive complaint or notice of the spill, discharge or illegal connection.
2) Identify the potential source of the discharge to determine appropriate response agency.
3) Document response and track the spill/discharge to source.
4) Use education and enforcement to eliminate the discharge to the storm drain/sewer or
ground surface.
5) Recommend BMPs, as applicable, to ensure on-going compliance.
6) Maintain records of response to establish a database, and to identify reoccurrence
patterns.
Field Investigation and Abatement
1) Identify and prioritize areas of potential illicit discharge and/or illegal connections for
residential and commercial locations.
2) Conduct annual creek walks to identify potential sources.
3) Conduct field/manhole/site inspections.
4) Verify illicit discharge/illegal connection and identify the source.
5) Use education and/or enforcement to eliminate discharges to storm drain/sewer or
ground surface.
6) Apply BMPs, as applicable, to assure on-going compliance.
7) Maintain records of response and actions to establish a database and to identify
reoccurrence patterns.
The initial approach to prevention and elimination is Education on what the pollution source is,
what effect it has on our watershed, and how the problem may be eliminated through BMPs.
When necessary, education can be used in combination with legal enforcement in order to
achieve elimination of the illicit discharge.
In addition to complaints, the scheduled creek walks conducted within the watersheds will
discover sites where solid waste has been discarded into the creek or along the creek banks. To
address these issues, letters and informational brochures are sent to property owners whose
parcel is clearly identified as the source of contamination. For example, if a large pile of green
waste is seen directly on the creek bank behind a home, a letter would be sent to the owner of
that parcel explaining the impacts green waste has on water quality and outlining alternative
methods of disposal or composting of green waste. Brochures will be included in the letter as
appropriate.
In general, illicit discharges occur because of a lack of awareness on the part of the discharger.
Often, simply pointing out the error and suggesting BMPs to be used in the future is enough to
convince businesses and homeowners to cease discharging, dumping or to eliminate the illegal
connection. In most cases the individual responsible can be motivated to do the right thing, and
will implement appropriate BMPs.
Activities to identify and eliminate illicit discharges are summarized below:
Staff will respond to illicit discharge calls through a site inspection and by contacting the
appropriate agency for response. Complaint response may require the cooperation of more than
one agency. Callers are not always aware of the unincorporated area boundaries, so a referral
system has been established so that calls are efficiently redirected to the correct agency.
Labeling and storage of hazardous material is within the jurisdiction of the Fire Department. For
new businesses that use or store hazardous materials, conditions of approval are included in the
standard conditions and mitigation measures enforced by this department. These require that a
safe, storage area for pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers be designed to contain spills. In
addition, a Hazardous Materials Business Plan must be submitted to the Fire Department for
review and approval for each business in order to detect potential hazards associated with the
chemicals.
The Fire Department is responsible for inspecting sites and monitoring their compliance with
hazardous materials best management storage practices and spill response. Fire Department first
responders and the hazardous materials response team, depending on the hazard level and
severity of the spill, may make a spill response. Emphasis is made on containment and cleanup
with public health and safety as the foremost consideration in an environmentally sensitive
manner.
Measurable Goals
The following measurable goals for BMPs have been selected to ensure that illicit discharges are
detected, eliminated and prevented:
1) Inspect targeted creeks within the City once per year with follow-up inspections as
appropriate to ensure abatement of violations. An annual report will be issued listing
these areas.
2) Respond to complaints of illicit/illegal discharge within 24 hours of receiving the
complaint, referral or notice.
Reporting
The effectiveness of the BMPs for the minimum control measure of detecting, eliminating and
preventing illicit discharges may be gauged by tracking and evaluating the number of:
1) Brochures that are printed and delivered to target groups.
2) The number of training events and the number of attendees at each event
3) Complaints, notices and referrals received and/or responded to.
4) Violation cases that advance to legal enforcement levels.
5) Identified illegal connections.
6) Best estimate of amounts of waste removed from storm drains and creeks.

The MS4 operator, to the extent allowable under State and local law; must develop, implement, and
enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to the small MS4 from construction
activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre or if that construction
activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would disturb one acre or more of
land. The MS4 operator is not required to develop, implement, and/or enforce a program to reduce
pollutant discharges from sites where the construction site operator has obtained a waiver from permit
requirements under NPDES or TPDES construction permitting requirements based on a low potential for
erosion.
(a) The program must include the development and implementation of, at a minimum, an
ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, to require erosion and sediment controls, as
well as sanctions to ensure compliance, to the extent allowable under State and local
law.

5.1 TPDES Permit Regulatory Text – Part III.A.6
To the extent allowable under state and local law, the MS4 operator must develop, implement, and
enforce a program to address stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that
disturb greater than or equal to one acre of land, including projects less than one acre that are part of a
larger common plan of development or sale that will result in disturbance of one or more acres, that
discharge into the small MS4. The program must ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or
minimize water quality impacts. The permittee shall:
(a) Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or
non-structural BMPs appropriate for your community;
(b) Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post-construction runoff
from new development and redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under State
and local law; and
(c) Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs.
5.2 Current Programs
Trophy Club realizes that urban runoff quality issues impact almost all areas of development and therefore
recognizes the importance of integrating stormwater quality issues into its planning process.
Trophy Club’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan has goals and objectives, which are to protect all existing
natural areas to a maximum extent practicable during the Town’s development process and utilize
whenever possible, open space linkages, to realize that the natural environment and ecosystems are a
substantial quality that contribute to the character of the Town and should be preserved and protected, to
provide a variety of park types that satisfy the recreational needs of all citizens of the Town; to encourage
the development of at least once acre of park or recreation space for every one hundred residents in
Trophy Club; and to encourage the development of park linkages with walkways, pathways, and jogging
paths. Trophy Club will continue utilizing the Comprehensive Land Use Plan while investigating and
amending its requirements in order to comply with the TPDES General Permit.
New development and redevelopment projects in the Town offer a unique opportunity to control pollution,
as a result the Town will delve even further into requiring future projects to integrate stormwater quality
treatment controls into their project design. The intent is to ensure that pollutants in site runoff are
reduced to the maximum extent practicable for the life of the project.
The Town requires Grading Permits for Land-Disturbing Activities to meet the requirements of the TPDES
General Permit.
The Town’s Tree Mitigation Program provides guidelines for the protection of mature and/or trees of
recognized value within the proposed construction zone over one (1) acre. The policy provides for
replacement and replanting of protected trees that must e removed during construction projects.

Conclusion:
The Stormwater Management Plan complies with the Texas Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (TPDES), Phase II requirements. The plan will be
reviewed, updated, and revised each year, as necessary, to maintain the goals of:
reducing the discharge of pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable” (MEP),
protecting the water quality, and satisfying the appropriate water quality
requirements of the Clean Water Act and TCEQ.
During Permit Year 5, Trophy Club will continue Year 4 activities while also
conducting a review of the current Stormwater Management Program along with
any new developments, if any, and if necessary, prescribe changes/modifications
for succeeding permit years.
The BMPs will be reviewed every year to verify the Method of Measurement
is being satisfied. At that time, if a goal is not being met, the BMP will be adjusted
to better meet our goals. Any improvement and or modification to the SWMP or to
any BMP will be included in the annual report. Any changes to a BMP will be made
to increase the effectiveness of the Method of Measurement. All additions or
revisions will be submitted to TCEQ.
To comply with the permit requirements, a copy of the TPDES permit, the
SWMP, and the NOI will be kept on file at the Town of Trophy Club Municipal
offices.
