BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A "separate storm sewer system" includes ditches, curbs, gutters, storm sewers, and similar means of collecting or conveying runoff that do not connect with a wastewater collection system or treatment plant. To be a "municipal separate storm sewer system" (MS4), the system must be owned or operated by a public agency such as a city or town, a municipal utility district, flood control district, or other special district, a county, a state or federal agency. To manage stormwater pollution and comply with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) MS4 permit requirements, the City of New Braunfels has developed a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The SWMP outlines programs and Best Management Practices (BMPs) the City will implement in order to minimize pollution associated with stormwater runoff.
