Storm Water Management
- The University of North Alabama has been issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for storm water discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4).
- The Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is responsible for management of the Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMPP).
- Reduce the discharge of pollutants from the campus to the maximum extent practicable
- Protect the water quality of Cypress Creek
- Satisfy the requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
If you wish to report a storm water concern or potential illicit discharge on the university's property, send an email to:
Illicit Discharge Definition - As defined at 40 CF Part 122.26(b)(2): refers to any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not entirely composed of stormwater, except discharges authorized under an NPDES permit (other than the NPDES permit for discharges from the MS4) and discharges resulting form fire fighting activities. A list of authorized discharges can be found in the Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMPP).
