The Illicit
Discharge Elimination Plan (IDEP) is based
on the Watershed Approach for the improvement
of water quality in Saginaw County's proposed
Watershed Management Region. Its specific
goal is to eliminate any unauthorized discharges,
as defined in the NPDES storm water permit,
from the separate storm sewer systems of the
communities, municipalities, school districts,
university or agencies that are cooperating
in the Saginaw Area Storm Water Authority
(SASWA). The SASWA is depending on the cooperation
of its membership and the MDEQ in realization
of this goal. This IDEP identifies common
elements the regulated township, community,
agency, public school system, or university
will implement in this plan and areas where
cooperation with Saginaw County agencies and
the MDEQ is important. At a minimum this IDEP
includes the following: (source MIG619000)
 |
A program
to find, prioritize and eliminate illicit
discharges and illicit connections identified
during dry weather screening activities. |
|
A description of
a program to minimize infiltration or
seepage from sanitary sewers and onsite
sewage disposal systems into the applicant's
separate storm water drainage system. |
|
A method for determining
the effectiveness of the illicit discharge
elimination activities which shall,
at a minimum, result in the inspection
of each storm water point source every
five years unless the Department (MDEQ)
approves an alternate schedule. An alternative
schedule may focus efforts on urbanized
area and cover other regulated areas
less frequently, based on watershed
goals. |
|
Provide an updated
map showing the location of each known
storm water point source in the regulated
area, and the respective receiving water
or drainage system. The MDEQ may accept
an alternate submission if the permittee
demonstrates that the submission will
be sufficient in the effective elimination
of illicit discharges. |
This plan will be submitted
to the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality at the required date. When submitted
the plan will then be made available at this
site.
