Potential sources of organic matter and carbon and BMPs/Activities that could be included in your compliance schedule to address dissolved oxygen/oxygen demand applicable WLAs
Link to this table
| General Category | Source | BMP/Activity |
|---|---|---|
| MS4 Infrastructure | Decaying plant matter, litter, and sediment in the storm drain system | Enhance street sweeping program |
| Remove leaf litter and soil in street and gutters (e.g. implement an Adopt-a-storm drain program). Educate property owners on proper yard waste management | ||
| Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces | Implement source, rate, volume controls (i.e. adopt minimal impact design standards (MIDS) for new, redevelopment, and linear projects) | |
| Minimize impervious surfaces | ||
| Domestic pets | Dogs, cats, dog parks, walking trails, residential yard and sidewalk runoff (spring runoff after winter accumulation) | Install pet waste disposal stations along trails, in dog parks, etc |
| Pass and enforce pet waste ordinances and educate pet owners about them | ||
| Add infiltration BMPs downstream of parks/residential areas and upstream of stormwater pipes (i.e., somewhere between the park/residential area and the stormwater outfall to intercept and infiltrate some or all of the flow from these areas) |
