  • NPDES Phase 2 Stormwater Management Plan
    NPDES Phase 2 Stormwater Management Plan Prepared For: Town of Trumbull Trumbull, Connecticut October 18, 2012 Introduction Tighe&Bond Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Program Background In 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Phase I of its municipal stormwater program under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Phase I utilized National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to address stormwater runoff from large municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) that served urbanized areas. The Stormwater Phase II Final Rule promulgated on December 8, 1999 requires MS4 operators in smaller urbanized areas to implement programs and practices aimed at controlling polluted stormwater runoff through the NPDES permit program. The EPA defines urbanized areas (UA) as “land comprising one or more places – central place(s) – and the adjacent densely settled surrounding area – urban fringe – that together have a residential population of at least 50,000 and an overall population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile”. Based upon this criteria, the Town of Trumbull is located entirely within an urbanized area. The program requires Phase II municipalities to develop a stormwater management plan outlining how the municipality intends to address the six minimum control measures set forth by EPA: ■ Public Education and Outreach ■ Public Involvement/Participation ■ Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination ■ Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control ■ Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment ■ Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations 1.2 Statewide General Permit The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) administers NPDES permitting in Connecticut and has issued a General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4).

    Connecticuts TROUT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM MORE FISHING OPPORTUNITIES: ØTMAs Ø Trout Parks Ø Trophy Trout Streams ØSea-Run Streams Ø Wild Trout Management Areas State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Natural Resources Inland Fisheries Division Why Do We Need A Trout Plan? Connecticuts trout fisheries have long been an important part of the States overall angling activity From days when anglers relied on native trout for food, through the growth of recreational angling and hatcheries to the more recent development of special Trout Management Areas (TMAs), anglers have enjoyed the opportunity to pursue their quarry in many of Connecticuts streams and rivers In recent years, there has been an increase in the variety of trout fishing experiences sought by Connecticut anglers For example; some anglers practice only catch-and-release whereas other anglers like to harvest and eat their catch; some anglers seek large trout while others are more interested in catching a lot of fish; to some anglers a trout is a trout whereas others prefer to fish specifically for trout that are born in the wild Providing such a variety of trout fishing opportunities requires innovative management based on the desires of the angling public and a sound, scientific understanding of our streams, trout populations and trout fisheries Fisheries Data and Public Opinion Surveys The results of angler surveys done on more than 60 streams show that fishing pressure is heavy in most areas and that a high percentage of stocked and wild trout are caught
