stormwater management in the Permit(Part III.D.5.a(2)),without higher engineering
review,sufficient to provide a functioning treatment system and prevent adverse

for mitigation purposes in lieu of the owner or operator of that construction activity meeting
the conditions for post-construction stormwater management in Part III.D.5.a(2),the
permittee shall apply any such payment received to a public stormwater project, and all
projects must be in compliance with Part III.D.5.a(4)(a)-(e).
5. Long-term maintenance of structural stormwater BMPs: The permittee's regulatory
mechanism(s)shall provide for the establishment of legal mechanisms between the permittee
and owners or operators responsible for the long-term maintenance of structural stormwater
BMPs not owned or operated by the permittee,that have been implemented to meet the
conditions for post-construction stormwater management in the Permit(Part III.D.5.a(2)). This
only includes structural stormwater BMPs constructed after the effective date of this permit and
that are directly connected to the permittee's MS4, and that are in the permittee's jurisdiction.

responsibility, for structural stormwater BMPs not owned or operated by the permittee, when
those responsibilities are legally transferred to another party.
c. Include conditions that are designed to protect/preserve structural stormwater BMPs and ❑Yes ® No
site features that are implemented to comply with the Permit(Part III.D.5.a(2)). If site
