Early in 2002, the City of Tullahoma was informed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation that it would likely be designated as a regulated small MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) to be covered under the Phase II NPDES Storm Water Discharge Control Program. On December 9, 2002, the City of Tullahoma was officially designated as a small MS4 in accordance with EPA regulations at 40 CFR 123.35(b). The designation required that the City of Tullahoma apply for coverage under an NPDES Permit within 180 days of the date of designation. The City of Tullahoma did so and is permitted under tracking number TNS077631. The Phase II Stormwater Regulations, found at 40 CFR Part 122, require the City of Tullahoma at a minimum, to develop, implement, and enforce a stormwater management program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. The stormwater management program shall be based around 6 Minimum Control Measures. The 6 Minimum Control Measures are as follows: • PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH View our Complete Storm Water Management Plan One of the City of Tullahoma's Best Management Practices that was outlined in the Phase II Stormwater Notice of Intent and filed with the State of Tennessee was to revise the ordinances that pertained to stormwater.
