permit. The permittee is responsible for compliance with this state permit. The permittee shall implement and
update the MS4 Program Plan (as set forth in Part I.B) to ensure compliance with this state permit. The

approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), the permittee shall implement the special conditions as set forth
in Part I.D of this state permit. Compliance with the requirements of this state permit shall also constitute

applicable TMDL wasteload allocations such that the discharge does not cause or contribute to violations of
the water quality standards.
The permittee shall clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each of the permittee’s departments, divisions
or subdivisions in maintaining permit compliance. If the permittee relies on another party to implement portions
of the MS4 Program Plan, both parties must document the agreement in writing. The agreement shall be
retained by the permittee with the MS4 Program Plan. Roles and responsibilities shall be updated as necessary.
Where the permittee relies on another party to implement a portion of this state permit, responsibility for
compliance with this state permit shall remain with the permittee.
