will notify the Permittee of suchviolation(s). The Permittee shall take all necessary actions to ensure future dischargesdo not cause or contribute to the violation of a water quality
standard and documentthese actions as required by the Director. If violations remain or re-occur, coverageunder this Permit may be terminated by theDirector and an alternative UPDESPermit
may be issued. Compliance with this requirement does not preclude the Statefrom taking an enforcement action as provided by the Utah Water Quality Act for theunderlyingviolation.
Jordan River Watershed Wide Escherichia coli (E. coli) TMDL
The permittee discharges to waters listed on the Utah 303(d) list as impaired for E.coli for which storm water is a contributing source per the Jordan River Watershed Wide E.coli TMDL.
The permittee must update their SWMP document within 180 days to include a written plan (TMDL Compliance Plan)addressing the pollutant reduction requirements of the TMDL as it relates
to MS4s. The Jordan River E. coli TMDL MS4 Guidance Document available on the division’s website will provide supplemental information to assist MS4s in compliance with the below Permit
requirements.
The TMDL Compliance Plan will supplement and build-on the six (6) minimum control measures identified in Part 4.2 of this permit. The Permittee must develop, fund, and implement source
control BMPs that reduce the discharge of E. coli. The TMDL Compliance Plan must address the following:
Identify potential sources of E. coli in the MS4 and target specific audiences that may be contributing to the E. coli sources. Provide and document education and outreach given to the
target audiences on the impacts to water quality associated with these types of discharges and BMPs that can be implemented to reduce the discharge of E. coli.
The Permittee can meet the requirements of permit part 3.2.2.1. through contribution to a collaborative program (e.g., storm water coalition) that evaluates, identifies, and targets
sources, as well as, provides outreach that addresses E. coli.
The Permittee must maintain a written or mapped inventory of areas in the MS4 that are potential sources of E. coli (areas with septic, dense waterfowl areas, dog parks, etc.).
The Permittee must create a plan to prioritize reduction activities to address the areas and sources identified in the inventory. The plan must include BMPs the permittee will implement
over the permit term (structural and non-structural).
The Permittee must add the inventoried areas to the priority areas identified in permit part 4.2.3.3.1. and begin inspecting the additional priority areas annually at a minimum and documenting
the inspections on an inspection form.
The Permittee must add the inventoried areas to the priority areas identified in permit part 4.2.6.7.2. for street sweeping and storm sewer system maintenance and begin maintaining the
areas at the same frequency. The Permittee’s road and parking lot sweeping and storm drain system maintenance SOPs should identify all priority areas (including E. coli sources) and
must include a schedule that includes priority area frequency.
The Permittee must evaluate their written inventory of potential “high priority” permittee owned and/or operated facilities (Permit Part 4.2.6.1.) and identify sites that have potential
sources of E. coli. Permittees must add to their inventory any Permittee owned or operated dog parks, parks with open water, sites with septic, or properties that are known potential
sources of E. coli. Sites that have been identified as potential sources of E. coli must have BMPs (structural or non-structural) that reduce the potential of the discharge of E. coli.
The Permittee must evaluate the potential E. coli generating activities below to determine whether the permittees existing SOPs for Facilities, Fleet, Gallivan Center, Golf, Parks, Public
Utilities, Right of Way Maintenance, Streets, Waste & Recycling, and Water Quality should target reduction of E. coli discharge.The permittee may also create additional SOPsfor the reduction
of E. coli discharge from the MS4. The potential E. coli generating activities to be evaluated are listed below:
Surface cleaning and controlling litter
Lake and lagoon maintenance
Mowing/Trimming/Planting
Inspection and Cleaning of Stormwater Conveyance Structures, Controlling Illicit Connections and Discharges, Controlling Illegal Dumpingto storm water collection and conveyance structures
Solid Waste Collection, Controlling Litter, Controlling Illegal Dumping of solid wastes
Water line Maintenance, Sanitary Sewer Maintenance, Spill/Leak/Overflow Control, Response, and Containment.
The Permittee must promote the use of Low Impact Development (LID) controls for which E. coli (listed a bacteria) has a medium or high pollutant removal effectiveness, as identified
in the Guide to Low Impact Development within Utah, Appendix C on the division’s website: https://documents.deq.utah.gov/water-quality/stormwater/updes/DWQ-2019-000161.pdf.
The Permittee must add potential E. coli reduction as a criterion for ranking when evaluating the Permittees retrofit plan (Permit Part 4.2.6.9.).
The Permittee is required to monitor and analyze E. coli (No./100 mL) at their Wet-Weather Monitoring sites that discharge to the Jordan River and its tributaries in Permit Part 5.2.2.4.
The Permittee must report annually on their TMDL compliance by submitting the TMDL Compliance Report section within the annual report form on the Division’s website. The first TMDL Compliance
Report within the annual report will be due to the Division by October 1, 2024. The reporting will include identification of problem areas for which source control BMPs were developed,
the cost, and the anticipated pollutant reduction. Nitrogen andPhosphorusReductionAspartofthePermittee'sSWMP,thePermitteemustspecificallyaddressthereductionofwaterqualityimpactsassociatedwithnitrogenandphosphorusindischargesfromtheMS4.The

areas that are juststartingto develop.
Lee Drain is typical of the drainage system that drains the west side of SaltLake City. The area uses a series of open ditches that also function as lineardetention basins.A Corps of
Engineers HEC-2 model run of a typical stormevent shows that the hydrograph for the storm requires over 24 hours to passbecause of the detention. The detention is created by undersized
culvertsalong the channel that backwater and force channel detention to occur. Thischanneldetentionalsocontributestoimprovingstormwaterquality by
allowingsettlement ofsuspendedsolidsandfrombiologicaluptake.Alternate representative outfalls may be substituted for just cause during the term ofthePermit.AlternatewetweathermonitoringlocationsmaynotbeuseduntilapprovedbytheDirector.SampleType,Collection,andAnalysis:For
discharges from holding ponds or other impoundments with a retention periodgreater than 24 hours, (estimated by dividing the volume of the detention pond by theestimated volume of water
discharged during the 24 hours previous to the time thatthesample iscollected) aminimumof onegrab samplemaybe taken.Data shall be reported for both a grab sample during the first 30
minutes of thedischargeandaflowweightedcompositesampleoftheentireeventor,ataminimum, the first three hours of discharge (if the collection of a grab sample duringthe first thirty minutes
is impracticable, a grab sample can be taken during the firsthour of the discharge, and the discharger shall submit with the monitoring report adescription of why a grab sample during
the first thirty minutes was impracticable).Grab samples only must be collected and analyzed for the determination of pH,cyanide,oiland grease,andvolatile organics(ifthePermittee chooses).All
such samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm eventthat is greater than 0.2 inches of precipitation within a threehour period that occurs atleast 72 hours
from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) stormevent.Compositesamplesmaybetakenwithacontinuoussamplerorasacombination of a minimum of three sample aliquots taken
in each hour of dischargefor the entire discharge or for the first three hours of the discharge, with each aliquotbeingseparatedbya minimumperiod offifteen minutes.Analysis and collection
of samples shall be done in accordance with the methodsspecified at 40 CFR Part 136.Where an approved Part 136 method does not exist,anyavailable method may be used.Storm Event Data:Quantitative
data shall be collected to estimate pollutant loadingsandeventmeanconcentrationsforeachparametersampled.Inadditiontotheparameters listed in Part III.B.1.a., the Permittee shall maintain
records of the dateand duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) sampled; rainfall measurements orestimates (in inches) of the storm event which generated the sampled runoff; theduration
between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable(greater than 0.2 inch rainfall) storm event; and an estimate of the total volume (ingallons)ofthedischarge sampled.Sampling
Waiver:When a discharger is unable to collect samples due to adverseclimatic conditions, the discharger must submit in lieu of sampling data a descriptionof why samples could not be
collected, including available documentation of climaticconditions causing the missed sampling.Adverse climatic conditions which mayprohibit the collection of samples includes weather
conditions that create dangerousconditions for personnel (such as local flooding, high winds, hurricane, tornadoes,electrical storms, etc.) or otherwise make the collection of a sample
impracticable(drought,extended frozen conditions, etc.).Dry Weather Screening:The Permittee shall continue its dry weather screeningefforts to detect the presence of illicit connections
and improper discharges to theMS4.All outfalls of the MS4 must be screened at least once during the permit termand additional priority areas must be screened according to the schedule
set forth inPermitPart 4.2.3.3.1and 4.2.3.3.2.Screeningmethodologymaybedevelopedand/ormodifiedbasedonexperiencegained during actual field screening activities and need not conform to
