Municipal Stormwater Quality Compliance for Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 50

Houston, TX

As a result of the 2010 U.S. Census the urbanized area of Houston expanded to include the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 50 (the “District”). This triggered a new Clean Water Act permitting obligation for the District. The District became a regulated small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operator and would need to obtain a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit and begin to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent practicable. RG Miller | DCCM developed the District’s five year Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which outlined the activities to be conducted to reduce stormwater pollution. RG Miller | DCCM prepared and submitted the District’s Notice of Intent (NOI) to secure coverage under Permit No. TXR040000. After securing permit coverage in 2013, RG Miller | DCCM initiated compliance activities and SWMP implementation. RG Miller | DCCM is continuing to support the District and during the permit term provides monthly updates to the District’s board of directors on compliance activities and program status.
