Georgia MS4 IDDE Program
Georgia's MS4 IDDE Program Overview
StormwaterONE’s online course for Complying with Georgia’s MS4 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program provides an understanding of illicit discharges in association with regulatory requirements and potential for discharges and connections within the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).
As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Regulations are now in place that prohibit any substance, whether it be intentionally, or accidentally to enter an MS4 system (other than stormwater). An illicit discharge is any discharge into MS4 stormwater systems that are not composed entirely of stormwater, except for a few allowable discharges that will be covered in this course. IDDE is also a minimum control measure for Phase II MS4 entities.
DISCLAIMER: This program has not yet been approved by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
