Ada County Drainage District 3

The Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) for Ada County Drainage District No. 3 is a comprehensive plan designed to reduce pollutant discharge from its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to the Maximum Extent Practicable, with the goal of restoring and protecting the Boise River and its tributaries. The plan outlines six key control measures: Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control, Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment, Stormwater Infrastructure and Street Management, and Industrial and Commercial Stormwater Discharge Management. It details procedures for inspections, operations, maintenance, waste disposal, and complaint response, all aimed at achieving compliance with NPDES permit requirements.
