Based on our understanding of sources of flow and
bacteria into the MS4s
Prioritize non-structural BMPs that:
Eliminate non-stormwater flows (e.g., residential water
conservation programs, commercial
Identify and abate high risk source (i.e., human waste)
Structural controls as needed (e.g., diversion to sewer,
distributed infiltration)

Public Works Agency
Non-structural BMPs including LID incentive programs
and various source controls
Structural BMPs:
Regional and distributed options Infiltration-based systems and flow-through treatment (where
infiltration infeasible) Prioritize lower cost non-structural BMPs first Identify potential structural retrofit opportunities, assess
implementability, and prioritize projects based on cost- benefit analysis
