The MS4 Stormwater Management Program & Plan: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

Updated: May 31, 2023


The illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) minimum control measure consists of best management practices (BMPs) and program elements that focus on finding and addressing non-stormwater discharges and/or non-permitted discharges that may be entering the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4).


Regulated MS4s are required to establish plans to detect and eliminate illicit discharges including discharges not composed entirely of stormwater. They must map all outfalls from the storm sewer system to surface waters (not only from pipes, but also from road ditches, swales and other stormwater carriers), and must inform public employees and the community about the hazards of illegal discharges and improper waste disposal. Further, illicit discharges to the storm sewer system must be prohibited by ordinance or regulation, and the prohibition must be enforced.


The MS4 is required to develop and maintain a map showing: the location of all outfalls and the names and location of all surface waters of the State that receive discharges from those outfalls. By March 9, 2010, the preliminary boundaries of the permittee's storm sewersheds should be determined using GIS or other tools, even if they extend outside of the urbanized area. This will help facilitate trackdown of illicit discharges. When grant funds are made available, a map of the sewer lines and storm sewer system should be completed.


The MS4 is required to field verify outfall locations and conduct an outfall reconnaissance inventory that addresses every outfall within the MS4 designated area at least once every five years.


An IDDE program should also address non-stormwater discharges, including illegal dumping. The program must include: procedures for identifying priority areas of concern (geographic, audiences, or otherwise); a description of priority areas of concern, available equipment, staff, funding, etc.; procedures for identifying and locating illicit discharges (trackdown); procedures for eliminating illicit discharges; and procedures for documenting actions.


In certain areas that have current Watershed Improvement Strategies and/or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements, the regulated community may also be required to undertake additional activities such as: completing entire system mapping by January 8, 2013; and developing an on-site wastewater system inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation program (including the necessary legal authority to enforce the program). The details associated with these additional requirements are further described, and should be referenced, in the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from MS4s.


Selected Activities and BMPs:


To meet the IDDE program requirements, the MS4 has selected the following Best Management Practices (BMP's) and activities to ensure the reduction of all pollutants of concern in stormwater discharges to the maximum extent practicable.

Outfall Mapping

Description of BMP/Activity: Create and maintain a map of all storm sewer system outfalls and identify the names of receiving waterbodies. The map will identify each outfall with a unique identifier and will link the outfall to a table of outfall properties collected See PDF file below for stormwater outfall locations in the Village of Oriskany.

Septic System Program


Description of BMP/Activity: In areas that lack community-wide sanitary sewer service, a "Septic System Management Program" is often used to evaluate individual septic systems to detect whether the system is failing or discharging (directly or indirectly) to the stormwater system. Indirect discharges may include leakage on ground surfaces or leaking pipes. Direct discharges may involve straight pipe discharges to streams or ditches. Activities that may be part of a program include but are not necessarily limited to: homeowner surveys, surface condition analysis, and/or a detailed septic system inspection. Not applicable in the Village of Oriskany since septic systems are not allowed with Village limits.

Combined Sewer and/or Sanitary Sewer Overflow Program


Description of BMP/Activity: Develop and implement a program to manage the effect of excess stormwater runoff on sanitary and/or combined sewer overflows. Specific types of activities may include, but are not necessarily limited to: survey and corrective measures for inflow and infiltration, identification of storm water connections to sanitary sewer systems, infrastructure replacement, etc The Village of Oriskany is included in the Oneida County Sewer District, which has a Inflow/Infiltration Offest Plan to reduce the amount of stormwater that enters the sanitary sewer system. A consent order has been issued by the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation, which mandates that any new sewer connection must be offest by inflow or infiltration reduction in the amount of five times what the new connection is expected to contribute. This has been done in order to curtail the outfall of combined stormwater/sanitary discharges into surficial bodies of water. Sanitary and Stormwater infrastructure improvements were made to the Village's existing sewer system in 2009 which have enabled the Village to receive storm sewer credits that enable present and future connections to the sanitary system while preserving the water quality of nearby surface waters.

  • Irrigation Water

  • Footing/Foundation Drains

  • Basement/Crawl Space Sump Pump Water

  • Individual Residential Car Washing

  • Street Wash Water

  • Discharges from Firefighting Activities

  • Dechlorinated Swimming Pool Discharges

  • Discharges from Potable Water Sources
