Mansfield operates a Phase II MS4 stormwater program under TPDES permit. Construction sites over 1 acre need SWPPP and must prevent pollutant discharge to storm drains.
Mansfield holds a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit administered by TCEQ. The city enforces a Stormwater Management Program including illicit discharge prohibition, construction site runoff control, and post-construction stormwater quality standards. Construction activities disturbing 1 or more acres must obtain TCEQ general permit coverage TXR150000 and develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan with silt fencing, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances. Smaller sites still must prevent sediment from leaving the property under Mansfield ordinance. Non-stormwater discharges to the MS4, such as pool draining, concrete washout, vehicle washing runoff, and landscape chemicals, are prohibited unless specifically allowed. Car washing at home is generally accepted. Residents may report illicit discharges, illegal dumping, or construction site sediment problems to Public Works at (817) 276-4200.
