Hinds County and Jackson operate MS4 permits under MDEQ (Miss. Code §49-17 Pollution Control Act). New development over 1 acre requires NPDES coverage and a SWPPP. Post-construction BMPs must be maintained by owner.
Both the City of Jackson and Hinds County hold Phase II MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permits issued under the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act and Miss. Code §49-17. Any construction disturbing more than one acre must obtain coverage under the MDEQ Construction General Permit (CGP), prepare and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and file a Notice of Intent. The Pearl River and its tributaries (Town Creek, Lynch Creek, Eubanks Creek, Hanging Moss Creek) receive most of the county's stormwater runoff, and portions are listed as impaired on the §303(d) list for pathogens and sediment. Post-construction BMPs (detention ponds, bioswales, rain gardens) must be permanently maintained by property owners through recorded operation and maintenance agreements. Jackson's aging infrastructure means combined sewer overflows can occur during heavy rain.
Illicit discharge to storm drain: MDEQ fines up to $25,000 per day under Miss. Code §49-17-43. Unpermitted land disturbance: stop-work order plus $1,000-$10,000 civil penalty. Missing SWPPP: EPA and MDEQ co-enforcement.
