Storm water runoff affects water quality in lakes, rivers, creeks and storm drains. Pollutants can impact the storm water that drains into this infrastructure and may consist of something as simple as litter in a parking lot, or may contain pesticides, oils, detergents or even bacteria. The EPA has delegated the responsibility of protecting these water sources to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the TCEQ has further issued regulations which all municipalities and polluters must follow. Each municipality is issued a permit to discharge into storm water infrastructure by the TECQ based on the municipalities approach to mitigating these pollution discharges. For the City of Keller, the Stormwater Management Plan outlines the City’s response to these requirements and documents its efforts via an annual reporting structure. See below.
