The parties are encouraged to cooperate with one another where the siting or design of BMPs may be accelerated or improved by mutual cooperation. 6) Credit for TMDL Implementation – Permit specific BMP retrofit requirements shall not be double- counted in the calculation of load reductions. If the permittee undertakes the project, the permittee shall be entitled to full credit for the project, but may share credit with VDOT on mutually agreeable terms, which shall be in writing. 7) Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination – The permittee shall continue to be responsible for implementing a program for illicit discharge detection and elimination, including dry weather field screening, for the permittee’s portion of the physically-interconnected MS4. As part of the annual coordination meeting, described in item (1) above, the permittee shall coordinate with VDOT on the identification of high risk industrial facilities. The permittee shall establish procedures for notifying VDOT when an illicit discharge is identified in the VDOT MS4. 8) Water Quality Monitoring – The permittee shall conduct water quality monitoring as required by Part I.B.2.l) and Part I.C of this state permit.

The permittee shall implement a trend analysis monitoring program of the nutrients and suspended solids in stormwater discharged to the MS4. They will also identify the predominant sources of nutrient and suspended solids pollutants, including the contaminant transport pathways and spatial variability of inputs. a) To be consistent with the previous permit and continue the existing monitoring program, the two (2) stormwater monitoring sites within the City designated as part of the Hampton Roads Stormwater Monitoring Network shall continue to be used for monitoring during the term of this permit. b) To expand on the existing program to conduct a trend analysis, additional samples will be collected on a fixed monthly interval at a minimum of once per month between January 1st and December 31st at each monitoring location. c) For the existing program and for trend analysis, monitoring shall be performed for the following parameters: 1) Temperature 2) Total Suspended Solids 3) Ammonia as Nitrogen 4) Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen 5) Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen 6) Total Nitrogen (calculated) 7) Orthophosphate 8) Total Phosphorus
