The Journal for Surface Water Quality Professionals offers their Ten Commandments for Phase II municipal separate storm sewer systems.
"After a particularly long afternoon of discussion concerning best management practices (BMPs), pollution removal efficiencies, the definition of "maximum extent practicable" (MEP), monitoring approaches, and financing alternatives, one particular city rep stated, "If only there were some easy way to understand how to think about where to go with this program - you know, like the Ten Commandments or something. If the Almighty can boil all of human morality down to 10 simple statements, surely we can do it for this stuff." ... This article is about what they had to say - the "Phase II Ten Commandments."... They can be convenient guidance for even the most nontechnical program administrator or city council to help ensure that the Phase II program starts and stays on course."
