Huntsville operates an MS4 stormwater program under ADEM permit. New development over 1 acre requires stormwater management plan. Tennessee River and tributaries are protected watersheds with extra controls.
Huntsville Code Chapter 33 (Stormwater) implements the NPDES MS4 general permit. Development triggers require SWPPP, detention/retention basins, and post-construction BMPs. Illicit discharge to storm sewers is prohibited. Indian Creek, Aldridge Creek, and Flint River watersheds receive priority protection.
Illicit discharge: $500-$10,000 per day. SWPPP violations: stop work orders plus $250-$2,500 fines.
