Rosenberg operates under TPDES General Permit TXR040000 as a small MS4, requiring local stormwater pollution controls, illicit discharge prohibitions, and construction-site runoff management within city limits.
The City of Rosenberg holds a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) MS4 permit (TXR040000) and implements a Storm Water Management Program covering public education, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction-site runoff control, post-construction stormwater management, and good housekeeping. Property owners and contractors must prevent non-stormwater discharges into the storm sewer system and follow City Design Standards for stormwater controls on new development.
Illicit discharges and unauthorized stormwater pollution may result in stop-work orders, mandatory cleanup, and per-day fines under the City's Code of Ordinances and the MS4 program.
