McKinney operates under a TCEQ MS4 Phase II stormwater permit (TXR040000). Development over 1 acre must submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and file a Notice of Intent with TCEQ. Illicit discharges to storm drains are prohibited.
Chapter 58 Environment of the McKinney Code regulates stormwater consistent with TCEQ General Permit TXR040000. Development disturbing 1 or more acres requires SWPPP, NOI filing, and BMP installation (silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrance). Only rainwater may enter storm drains. Car wash runoff, concrete washout, paint, and yard chemicals are illicit discharges.
Illicit discharge fines up to 2,000 dollars per day. SWPPP non-compliance: stop-work order plus TCEQ referral.
