On March 10, 2003, the U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA Phase II Stormwater Rules went into effect. These rules require designated communities to develop and implement a stormwater management plan.
This program is composed of six minimum control measures:
The CCBH Stormwater Program was created to assist communities in Cuyahoga County and Northeast Ohio in reaching their stormwater management plan goals. CCBH previously developed the “Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program Manual – A Guidance Manual for the State of Ohio”. This manual was designed to assist communities in developing an Illicit Discharge Program for finding and eliminating these sources of stormwater pollution.
CCBH currently contracts with communities both inside and outside of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) Regional Stormwater Management Program (RSMP) service area. Under an agreement with NEORSD, CCBH currently provides Phase II Stormwater support services for Minimum Control Measure (MCM) #3 and MCM #6 for communities within NEORSD’s RSMP area. CCBH also performs these activities for MCM #3 and MCM #6 in contracted communities outside of NEORSD’s service area.
MCM 3:Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
Municipalities are required to submit an annual report to the Ohio EPA. CCBH provides each community with a yearly report of activities to assist with the completion of their EPA annual reports.
