Stormwater Programs
Construction Stormwater
The purpose of this program is to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare
of the students, staff, and faculty of West Virginia University (WVU) through
the regulation of discharges composed entirely of stormwater associated with
construction activities disturbing 3,000 square feet or greater of land area
to the storm sewer system to the Maximum Extent Practicable (ME P) as required
by federal and state law. This program establishes methods for controlling the
introduction of pollutants into the storm sewer system or environment in order
to comply with requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NP DES) for stormwater discharges associated with the Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) general permit WV0116025 and Construction Stormwater general
permit WV0115924.
Construction Stormwater Appendix A
Groundwater and Stormwater Protection
The West Virginia University (WVU) Groundwater Protection Plan (GRP) and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) identifies potential sources of contamination
to groundwater and stormwater as a result of facility operations. The plan
evaluates the potential for groundwater and stormwater contamination from these
operations and establishes Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the potential
for such contamination. Roles and responsibilities for development, maintenance
and implementation are assigned within the plan.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program
The purpose of this program is to provide for the health, safety, and general
welfare of the students, staff, and faculty of West Virginia University (WVU)
through the regulation of non-storm water discharges to the storm sewer system
to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) as required by federal and state law.
This program establishes methods for controlling the introduction of pollutants
into the storm sewer system in order to comply with requirements of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for stormwater discharges associated
with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general permit WV0116025.
IDDE Plan
Dye Testing Notification
Purpose is to establish guidelines for notification of dye testing of stormwater,
sanitary, steam condensate and other lines, maintained by maintenance and safety
personnel at West Virginia University.
