1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND
In 1972, Congress amended the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly referred to as
the Clean Water Act ["CWA"]) to prohibit the discharge of any pollutant to waters of the United
States from a point source unless the discharge is authorized by an National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ("NPDES") permit. The NPDES program is a program designed to track
point sources and require the implementation of the controls necessary to minimize the discharge
of pollutants.
In 1987, Congress amended the CWA to require implementation, in two phases, of a
comprehensive national program for addressing stormwater discharges. The first phase of the
program, commonly referred to as "Phase I," was promulgated by EPA on November 16, 1990
(Federal Register, Volume 55, Page 47,990 [55 FR 479901). Phase I requires NPDES permits for
stormwater discharge from a large number of priority sources, including municipal separate storm
sewer systems ("MS4's") generally serving populations of 100,000 or more and several categories
of industrial activity, including construction sites that disturb five or more acres of land.
EPA promulgated the second phase of the storrn water regulatory program, commonly referred to
as "Phase II," on December 8, 1999 (64 FR 68722). The complete Federal Register
announcement can be viewed on the EPA website as listed in the References Section of this
document. Phase Il regulations address stormwater discharges from certain MS4's serving
populations of less than 100,000 people (called "small MS4's"). In summary, the regulations,
which may be found in Title 40, Part 122 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 122),
require that all small MS4 operators located in Urbanized Areas (as defined by the latest U.S.
census) must "develop, implement and enforce a Stormwater Management Program ("SWMP")
designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from [the] MS4 to the maximum extent practicable,
to protect water quality..."
EPA has delegated authority to issue MS4 stormwater discharge permits, in Texas, to the State of
Texas. Under the authority of the Texas Water Code and the CWA, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") issued the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("TPDES") General Permit (No. TXR040000) to discharge waste from small MS4 systems to
waters of the state on August 13, 2007. The text of the permit can be viewed on the TCEQ
website as listed in the References Section of this document.
1.2 PROGRAM RATIONALE
1.2.1 Regulatory Requirements
As the City of Baytown (hereinafter, "the City") operates a small MS4 located within an
urbanized area, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau, it must obtain authorization for the
discharge of stormwater runoff and is eligible for coverage under the TCEQ General Permit No.
TXR040000.
The Phase II Rule defines a stormwater management program for a small MS4 as a program
composed of six elements that, when implemented together, are expected to reduce pollutants
discharged into receiving water-bodies to the Maximum Extent Practicable ("MEP"). These six
program elements, or minimum control measures(MCM),are
7
tttt��►tt� Citv of Baytown Stormwater Management Plan
• Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
• Public Involvement/Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction Stormwater Runoff Control
• Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The implementation and evaluation of these six minimum control measures comprise the heart of
the City's Stormwater Management Program. Within each MCM category, specific Best
Management Practices ("BMP's") were selected based on a number of factors, including
recommendations for small MS4s from the EPA and TCEQ, City staff and consultant
recommendations, City Council review and the 303d listing of local water bodies. For each
MCM the City must:
• Select appropriate BMP's, which are various methods of reducing pollutants in
stormwater runoff;
• Define measurable goals for each BMP;
• Establish an implementation schedule; and
• Assign a responsible person or persons for implementing all activities.
This initial stormwater management plan is to be submitted with a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the
TCEQ to acquire coverage under the general permit. Modifications to this SWMP are permitted,
although the revisions shall be summarized in the annual report submitted to the TCEQ.
1.2.2 SWMP Development
On March 6. 2003. the City of Baytown entered into a contract with Post, Buckley, Schuh, &
Jernigan, Inc. ("PBS&J"), a municipal consulting firm for the development of the Phase II
Stormwater Management Program. PBS&J and City staff performed the steps described in this
section to determine the most appropriate BMP's for the City of Baytown.
A. BMP and Measurable Goal Selection Process
A comprehensive BMP inventory was developed using various resources including the
Environmental Protection Agency's National Menu of Best Management Practices for
Stormwater Phase H and examples from other MS4s. The BMP inventory provided an
inclusive list of BMP's for each Minimum Control Measure (MCM). City of Baytown
personnel reviewed the list and indicated which BMP's were already in existence in the City
and also identified potential future BMP's to achieve the goal of improved stormwater
quality. Existing BMP's were reviewed and compared with regulatory requirements in the
draft permit for each MCM. Where existing programs and regulatory authority were
incompatible, additional BMP's were recommended. PBS&J and City personnel completed a
final list of BMP's to reduce pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable. This list was
provided to City Council for additional review.
The regulations and draft plan were initially presented to Council at the City Council Work
Session Meeting on February 26, 2004. A notice of public hearing was placed in the
February 29,2004 issue of The Baytown Sun and copies of the BMP's were made available in
the City Clerk's Office and on the City of Baytown website for public review. A public
hearing on the draft plan was held in March of 2004 although no comments from the public

st - City of Baytown Stormwater Management Plan
were received at that time. An additional series of presentations was provided at Council
Work Sessions from July to November 2005. The updated draft of the Plan was made
available on the Baytown website from July 28, 2005 until present for public review. In
addition the availability of the draft plan and the Council Work Session presentations were
noticed in the Maish Mattery newsletter published in August 2005. Following the adoption of
the TCEQ TPDES General Permit for small MS4s, an additional work session was held with
City Council on November 19, 2007 and two additional public meetings were held on
November 29 and December 13, 2007. The Approved Stormwater Management Plan was
adopted on January 24, 2008 and was sent to TCEQ for final approval.
As a result of these efforts, a list of selected BMP's was developed along with suitable
Measurable Goals which are provided in Sections 3 through 8 of this document.
1.2.3 Public Participation
As an applicant under the TCEQ General MS4 Permit, the City of Baytown must comply with the
following public noticing procedure:
a) The applicant must submit the NOI and a SWMP to the TCEQ executive director.
b) After the applicant receives written instructions from the TCEQ's Office of Chief Clerk,
the applicant must publish notice of the executive director's preliminary determination on
the NOI and SWMP.
c) The notice must include:
i. the legal name of the small MS4 operator;
ii. identify whether the NOI is for a new MS4 or is a renewal of an existing
operation;
iii. the address of the applicant;
iv. a brief summary of the information included in the NOI, such as the general
location of the MS4 and a description of the classified receiving waters that
receive the discharges from the MS4;
V. the location and mailing address where the public may provide comments to the
TCEQ;
vi. the public location where copies of the NOI and SWMP, as well as the executive
director's general permit and fact sheet, may be reviewed; and
vii. if required by the executive director, the date, time, and location of the public
meeting.
d) This notice must be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the
county or counties in which the small MS4 is located. This notice shall provide
opportunity for the public to submit comments on the NOI and SWMP. In addition, the
notice shall allow the public to request a public meeting. A public meeting will be held if
the TCEQ determines that there is significant public interest.
e) The public comment period begins on the first date the notice is published and ends 30
days later, unless a public meeting is held. If a public meeting is held, the comment
period will end at the closing of the public meeting. The public may submit written
comments to the TCEQ Office of Chief Clerk during the comment period detailing how
9
aai r�x�� Citv of Baytown Stormwater Management Plan
the NOI or SWMP for the small MS4 fails to meet the technical requirements or
conditions of this general permit.
f) if significant public interest exists, the executive director will direct the applicant to
publish a notice of the public meeting and to hold the public meeting. The applicant must
publish notice of a public meeting at least 30 days before the meeting and hold the public
meeting in a county where the small MS4 is located. TCEQ staff will facilitate the
meeting.
g) If a public meeting is held, the applicant shall describe the contents of the NOI and
SWMP. The applicant shall also provide maps and other data on the small MS4. The
applicant shall provide a sign in sheet for attendees to register their names and addresses
and furnish the sheet to the executive director. A public meeting held under this general
permit is not an evidentiary proceeding.
h) The applicant must file with the Chief Clerk a copy and an affidavit of the publication of
notice(s) within 60 days of receiving the written instructions from the Office of Chief
Clerk.
i) The executive director, after considering public comment, shall approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the NOI based on whether the NOI and SWMP meet the requirements
of this general permit.
j) Persons whose names and addresses appear legibly on the sign in sheet from the public
meeting and persons who submitted written comments to the TCEQ will be notified by
the TCEQ's Office of Chief Clerk of the executive director's decision regarding the
authorization.

2.0 CITY BACKGROUND
2.1 SETTING AND CHARACTER
The City of Baytown is located on the northern shore of Galveston Bay between the San Jacinto
River on the west and the Trinity River on the east. The City is located in the Coastal Plains
section of Texas along the eastern boundary of Harris County with limited projections of
incorporated area into Chambers County. The City is bordered by: Tabbs Bay to the south; 1-10
to the North; Cedar Bayou to the east; and the San Jacinto River/Houston Ship Channel to the
west and is located entirely within the North Galveston Bay Watershed. Three sub-watersheds
exist within the City the San Jacinto River Watershed, the Spring Gully/Goose Creek Watershed,
and the Cedar Bayou Watershed.
Cedar Bayou Watershed
The Cedar Bayou channel forms most of the boundary between Harris County and
Liberty and Chambers Counties, with about half of the watershed in Harris and the
remainder in the other two counties. Cedar Bayou flows in a southward direction from its
headwaters in Liberty County to its mouth at Galveston Bay. The watershed covers
approximately 202 square miles, with Cedar Bayou being the sole primary stream. There
are about 128 miles of open streams within the watershed, including the primary stream
and tributary channels.
Much of the Cedar Bayou watershed is undeveloped with the exception of the City of
Baytown, located in Harris and Chambers Counties and Mont Belvieu, located in
Chambers County. The watershed is primarily rural and agricultural, with the most
development activity related to large commercial grass farming operations. Development
of residential housing and/or industrial and commercial facilities are expected to increase
slowly.
Most of the primary stream and floodplain is environmentally sensitive due to the
saltwater marshlands in the lower reaches and the undeveloped natural channel reaches
upstream of Baytown. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department considers the area
around the mouth of Cedar Bayou to be a critical wildlife habitat. See Texas Parks and
Wildlife,

2007-01-26
Spring Gully and Goose Creek Watershed
Spring Gully flows southward from Highlands Reservoir to Barnett Bay, adjacent to the
Houston Ship Channel. Goose Creek flows from the Highlands Reservoir through the
City of Baytown and Goose Lake into Tabbs Bay on the Houston Ship Channel. A
significant drainage area exists just north of the Highlands Reservoir that drains to
Barbers Hill Road. At the northwest corner of the reservoir and Barbers Hill Road, the
runoff splits. A portion of the runoff flows around the reservoir perimeter and into the
upper end of Spring Gully, while the rest of the runoff flows into Bluff Gully, which is a
small tributary that flows into the San Jacinto River.
The Spring Gully & Goose Creek watershed covers about 32 square miles and includes
two primary streams: Spring Gully and Goose Creek. There are about 60 miles of open
streams within the watershed, including the primary streams and tributary channels.
12
k
City of Baytown Stormwater Management Plan
Much of the watershed is undeveloped, with the exception of the Baytown area. The
upper and middle portions of the watershed consist of scattered development and
agricultural areas. Urbanization is expected to slowly expand northward from the City of
Baytown and I-10.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has noted the shoreline along Barnett Bay, at
the mouth of Spring Gully, for its habitat value and high environmental quality.
Throughout most of the watershed,environmental sensitivity is high due to the low levels
of urbanization.
Most of Goose Creek upstream of Park Avenue has been cleared and modified in the past
and is regularly maintained or is lined with concrete. The lower third of the channel is
subject to tidal influences and is characterized by meandering loops through brackish to
intermediate marsh. The creek drains into Goose Lake, a tidally influenced natural lake
that becomes Tabbs Bay. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has also noted the
shoreline near Tabbs Bay as an environmentally sensitive area that should be protected.
San Jacinto River Watershed
The San Jacinto River watershed is a very large watershed that originates well outside of
the City of Baytown. The San Jacinto River flows through much of eastern Harris County
and joins with the Houston Ship Channel before flowing into Galveston Bay along the
southwestern edge of the city. The watershed (within Harris County) extends through the
cities of Houston, Galena Park, Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, Humble, La Porte,
Morgan's Point, Shoreacres and Seabrook. The channels within the watershed drain all or
part of Harris, Montgomery, Waller, Walker, Grimes, Liberty and San Jacinto counties,
for a total drainage area of approximately 4,500 square miles. In Harris County, the San
Jacinto River watershed covers about 487 square miles and includes seven primary
streams: Tile San Jacinto River, the Houston Ship Channel, Cotton Patch Bayou, East
Fork San Jacinto River, Boggy Bayou, Patrick's Bayou and Panther Creek. There are
about 310 miles of open streams within the watershed, including the primary streams and
tributary channels.
The San Jacinto River flows from its headwaters near Huntsville, through Lake Conroe
and Lake Houston. The Port of Houston Authority operates the Houston Ship Channel,
which originates at the Turning Basin and follows the original alignment of Buffalo
Bayou to the San Jacinto River. The Ship Channel continues through the San Jacinto
River and San Jacinto Bay to Galveston Bay, which is the ultimate outfall for all drainage
from the City of Baytown.
Various portions of the watershed are developing at different rates, with the largest
increases occurring near Lake Houston and the Houston Ship Channel. The Ship Channel
supports the Port of Houston, which is the third largest port in the world and can
accommodate ocean-going vessels to the Turning Basin. A recent expansion of the
channel has sparked new industrial growth in the area.
The San Jacinto River hosts a typical riverine ecosystem and contains reaches that are
totally natural, as well as reaches with development encroaching to the water's edge. Lake
Houston is heavily urbanized, although large areas of undeveloped property still exist in
close proximity to the lake. The Houston Ship Channel is heavily industrialized and was
created by extensive dredging and widening.

5.0 MCM-3 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
j The Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination minimum control measure is designed to reduce
pollutants in stormwater runoff through identification and elimination of illicit and or
inappropriate discharges and connections to the municipal separate storm sewer system.
5.1 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
40 CFR 122.34 (b) (3) states that "The MS4 operator must develop, implement, and enforce a
program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges (as defined at 40 CFR Sec. 122.26(b) (2)) into
your small MS4.1, (An illicit discharge is defined as "a point source discharge of pollutants to a
separate storm drain system which is not composed entirely of stormwater and not authorized by
an NPDES permit.")
` The MS4 operator must:
• Develop,iii'not already completed, a storm sewer system map showing the location of all
outfalls and the names and locations of all waters of the United States that receive
discharges from those outfalls;
• To the extent allowable under state, tribal, or local law, effectively prohibit, through an
ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, non-stormwater discharges into your storm
sewer system and implement appropriate enforcement procedures and actions;
• Develop and implement a plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges,
includingi illegal dumping, to your system; and
• Inform public employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated with
illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste.
The MS4 operator needs to address the following categories of non-stormwater discharges or
flows (i.e., illicit discharges) only if you identify them as significant contributors of pollutants to
your small MS4: water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising ground
waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration (as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)),
uncontaminated pumped ground water, discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains,
air conditioning condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing
drains, lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and
wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water (discharges or flows
from firefighting 'activities are excluded from the effective prohibition against non-stormwater
and need only be addressed where they are identified as significant sources of pollutants to waters
of the United States)."
5.2 TPDES PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
(a) Illicit Discharges
A section,,within the SWMP must be developed to establish a program to detect and
eliminate illicit discharges to the small MS4. The SWMP must include the manner and
process to be used to effectively prohibit illicit discharges. To the extent allowable under
1i
35
I
state and local law, an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism must be utilized to
prohibit and eliminate illicit discharges. Elements must include:
(1) Detection
The SWMP must list the techniques used for detecting illicit discharges; and
(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-Stormwater Discharges
Non-stormwater flows listed in Part 11.13 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
MS4 or the executive director identifies the flow as a significant source of pollutants to
the small MS4. In lieu of considering non-stormwater 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 have been
established by the MS4 operator prior to accepting the discharge to the MS4. If this list is
developed, all local controls and conditions established for these discharges must be
described in the SWMP and any changes to the SWMP must be included in the annual
report described in Part IV.8.2. 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.
E (2) The SWMP must include the source of information used to develop the storm
sewer map, including how the outfalls were verified and how the map will be regularly
updated.
5.3 ALLOWABLE NON STORMWATER DISCHARGES
The following non-stormwater sources may be discharged from the small MS4 and are not
required to be addressed in the MS4's Illicit Discharge and Detection or other minimum control
measures, unless they have been determined by the MS4 Operator or the TCEQ to be significant
contributors of pollutants to the MS4:
• water line flushing (excluding discharges of hyperchlorinated water,
j unless the water is first dechlorinated and discharges are not expected to
adversely affect aquatic life);
• runoff or return flow from landscape irrigation, lawn irrigation, and other
irrigation utilizing potable water, groundwater, or surface water sources;
• discharges from potable water sources;

City of Baytown Stormwater Management Plan
6.0 MCM-4 CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
i
The purpose of construction site runoff controls is to prevent soil and construction waste from
entering stormwater. Sediment is usually the main pollutant of concern; during a short period of
time, construction sites can contribute more sediment to creeks than can be deposited naturally
over several decades. The resulting siltation and the contribution of other pollutants from
construction sites can cause physical, biological, and chemical harm to local waterways.
6.1 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
40 CPR 122.34 ,(b)(4) states that "The MS4 operator must develop, implement, and enforce a
program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to your small MS4 from construction
activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to 1 acre. Reduction of
stormwater discharges from construction activity disturbing less than l acre must be included in
your program if hat construction activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale
that would disturb 1 acre or more. If the NPDES permitting authority waives requirements for
stormwater discharges associated with small construction activity in accordance with 40 CFR
Sec. 122.26(b)(15)(i), you are not required to develop, implement, and/or enforce a program to
reduce pollutant discharges from such sites.
Your 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,tribal, or local law;
• Requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion
and sediment control best management practices;
• Requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded
building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste
at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality;
• Procedures for site plan review that incorporate consideration of potential water
quality impacts;
• Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public;
and
• Enforcement of control measures."
6.2 TPDES PERMIT REQUIREMENT'S
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 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 of 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

6.3 DISCUSSION OF CURRENT PROGRAMS
6.3.1 Development Review Committee/Plan Review and Approval Procedures
Description: The City of Baytown has created a Development Review Committee to streamline
the plan revie►v process for local developments. Meetings of the Development Review
Committee (DRC) are held regularly and attended by representatives from the Engineering,
Planning, Health (Stormwater), Fire, Public Works, City Administration, and Utility Billing
Departments. Developers must submit for review civil drawings prior to each DRC meeting. The
Planning Department distributes copies of the plans to the appropriate departments for review
prior to the meetings. The Stormwater Division representative reviews the plans to ensure they
meet the appropriate stormwater requirements including permit coverage under TCEQ (if
required),the SWPPP, and appropriate BMP's.
The public may provide comments during DRC review by submitting a letter to the planning
department. In addition, the public may provide comments on proposed developments at
Planning and Zoning Committee meetings or City Council Meetings.
Measurable Goals: The City will continue to hold DRC meetings to review plans for local
developments. The review, findings, required corrective actions and associated correspondence
will be recorded and maintained by the City. The City will keep a database of reviewed projects
and provide a total in each annual report. The DRC process will be used as a basis for the
development of a Development Tracking Database for current construction activities and an
inspection schedule.
Evaluation: Compare number of plan review checklists submitted to developers to number of
plans submitted on an annual basis. Compare the projects that meet specifications at submittal to
those that require additional work before approval. Work to improve education on stormwater
pollution prevention plan requirements if there is a significant number requiring further work.
