What is an MS4?

A Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) is a storm water conveyance or system of conveyances that is regulated under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The operator of an MS4 is required to obtain a permit to discharge storm water from the MS4 into local surface waters. The objective of this permitting mechanism is to protect surface waters from polluted storm water runoff. More information here.
