For a permittee that discharges to an impaired waterbody but for which there is no US EPA-approved TMDL for the pollutant of concern, the permittee shall include a written section in its storm water management program that discusses the management practices and control measures it will implement as part of its program to reduce, with the goal of eliminating, the discharge of pollutants of concern that contribute to the impairment of the waterbody. NR 216.07 NoteNote: Every 2 years, the department updates and publishes a list of waters considered impaired under the Clean Water Act. The list is updated in even-numbered years. A list of Wisconsin impaired waterbodies may be found on the department website at: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/SurfaceWater/ConditionLists.html. NR 216.07(10)(c)(c) US EPA-approved TMDL. If the permittee is subject to a US EPA-approved TMDL, the permittee shall evaluate its compliance with the applicable wasteload allocation consistent with the assumptions and requirements outlined in the TMDL.

The implementation plan shall include estimated cost, schedules, assumptions, and levels of anticipated pollution control for each action. The TMDL implementation plan shall demonstrate continued progress leading to the attainment of the wasteload allocation as soon as possible. The department may establish numeric and narrative benchmarks within each permit term to ensure continued reduction of the pollutant of concern. In determining the length of time allowed under the TMDL implementation plan, the department shall consider all of the following factors: NR 216.07(10)(c)1.1. Whether there is a need for the installation of both structural best management practices and the implementation of operation and maintenance programs to attain the wasteload allocation, and if so, how long it will take to implement taking into account factors including the need to acquire property, the need to remove or replace existing infrastructure, and the ability to obtain the necessary financing.

The extent to which existing best management practices have proven to be effective in addressing the pollutant of concern covered by the wasteload allocation. NR 216.07(10)(c)5.5. Whether the TMDL implementation plan is appropriate and necessary because the permittee cannot attain the wasteload load allocations within the existing permit term. NR 216.07(10)(d)(d) Assessment. A permittee shall conduct an assessment of the actions required to be taken under this subsection. The assessment shall include a pollutant-loading analysis using an urban water quality model that uses small storm hydrology or equivalent methodology that is approved by the department, or monitoring, trend analysis, or other appropriate qualitative or quantitative evaluation methods approved by the department. At a minimum, a pollutant-loading analysis shall be conducted for total suspended solids, phosphorus, any applicable pollutants of concern covered under an applicable US EPA-approved TMDL, and pollutants of concern discharged by the permittee to a listed impaired waterbody, ERW, or ORW. NR 216.07 NoteNote: The department believes that computer modeling provides an efficient and cost-effective method for calculating pollutant loads. Pollutant loading models such as WinSLAMM, P8, or equivalent methodology may be used to evaluate the efficiency of the design in reducing total suspended solids.

NR 216.075(2)(d)(d) The permittee remains responsible for the compliance with all permit obligations if the other entity fails to implement any minimum control measure or requirement provided for in an agreement under par. (c). NR 216.075(3)(3) If the department finds that an agreement executed under sub. (2) (c) is deficient, does not meet the requirements of sub. (2), or does not meet a requirement of a permit issued under this subchapter, the permittee may not rely on the other entity to implement the minimum control measure or requirement. NR 216.075(4)(4) If the department finds that the other entity does not effectively implement a minimum control measure or requirement pursuant to an agreement executed under this section, the permittee shall not rely on the other entity to implement the minimum control measure or requirement. NR 216.075(5)(5) A permittee or other entity that terminates an agreement under this section shall notify the department within 5 business days of the termination. Upon termination, the permittee shall become responsible for implementing a minimum control measure or other requirement of a permit issued under this subchapter that was subject to an agreement under sub.

A storm water discharge permit fee shall be paid annually by each permittee under this subchapter, and by each permittee whose WPDES permit incorporates storm water management requirements under this subchapter. Permit fees are due by June 30th each year. The fees shall be assessed according to the following schedule: NR 216.08(1)(1) For city or village owned or operated municipal separate storm sewer systems, an annual permit fee shall be based on the total municipal population as reported by the latest U.S. bureau of the census decennial census. The population residing within an area served by a combined sewer outfall may not be included in determining the total municipal population for purposes of establishing the annual permit fee. For town owned or operated municipal separate storm sewer systems, an annual permit fee shall be based on the population within the urbanized area as defined by the U.S. census bureau. The annual permit fees are listed in Table 1. NR 216.08(2)(2) For any other owner or operator of a municipal separate storm sewer system including county, state and federal systems, the fee shall be $500. NR 216.08 NoteNote: The annual permit fee is the same regardless of whether the municipal separate storm sewer system is covered under a general permit or an individual permit alone or with co-permittees.

The department shall base its decision on the applicant’s ability to meet the requirements in subs. (5) and (6). The department shall notify the applicant in writing of its decision. If the application is denied, the department shall identify the reasons for denial. NR 216.10(3)(c)(c) Department authorization of a local program shall remain effective until termination or discontinuation under sub. (10). NR 216.10(4)(4) Coverage under state permit. A permittee or landowner of a construction site that is regulated by an authorized local program under this section and is required to be covered under a department construction site storm water discharge permit issued under subch. III shall comply with the requirements of the department’s permit. If the site does not meet the applicability criteria of the state construction site storm water discharge general permit, the provisions of s. NR 216.51 (5) shall apply. If coverage under the state general permit is revoked by the department, the provisions of s. NR 216.51 (4) and (5) shall apply. The department may enforce against the landowner of a construction site for violation of the permit. NR 216.10(5)(a)(a) The municipality shall have the legal authority and resources to implement and enforce the requirements of subch. III. NR 216.10(5)(b)(b) The municipality shall adopt, implement and enforce an ordinance with erosion control and storm water management requirements that comply with the requirements of subchs. III and IV of ch. NR 151.

NR 216.10(5)(e)(e) An authorized local program under this subsection shall include procedures to satisfy local and department NOI requirements under sub. (6). These procedures shall include transmittal of permit NOI materials to the department and acknowledgement of receipt by the department prior to notifying the landowner that permit coverage has been conveyed to the landowner by both entities. NR 216.10(5)(f)(f) The municipality shall review all erosion and sediment control plans and post-construction storm water management plans to assure compliance with both local and state construction site erosion control and storm water management requirements. NR 216.10(5)(g)(g) The authorized local program shall have procedures for notifying the department of non-compliance with provisions in subch. III which are not corrected by the permittee within 14 days.
