Phase II Stormwater Management is a federally-mandated EPA program, administered in New York State by NYSDEC. The aim of the program is to clean up all the waters of the United States to swimmable and fishable quality. In 1990, Phase I program encompassed municipalities with population >100,000. In 1999, Phase II included all the rest of the municipalities regardless of size. Phase II specifies five Minimum Measures (MM's) to accomplish the clean-up: Public Outreach, Public Participation, Illicit Discharge Detection, Pre-, Post-Construction Runoff Control and Municipal Good Housekeeping. MM3, Discharge Detection, requires mapping and testing of outfalls, all water courses leading to significant water bodies in the municipality. Using rudimentary chemical analyses and simple equipment and supplies, test kits for small municipalities can be assembled for under $200. Personnel with basic scientific training are needed by these small municipalities to conduct the testing. Phase II presents an excellent employment opportunity for science student interns and other scientists seeking part-time work. Of greater significance, Phase II is an important environmental outreach program to educate the public regarding safeguarding our potable water supply. Details for each MM outline an actual method whereby water quality can be improved and maintained.
