Universal City operates under a Texas MS4 stormwater permit through TCEQ, prohibiting illicit discharges to storm drains and requiring construction site BMPs for any project disturbing one acre or more.
Universal City is a regulated Small MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's TPDES general permit TXR040000. The city enforces an illicit discharge ordinance that prohibits dumping oil, paint, yard waste, pet waste, soapy car wash water, and other pollutants into storm drains or drainage ditches leading to Cibolo Creek and the San Antonio River watershed. Construction projects disturbing one or more acres must file a Notice of Intent under the TCEQ TXR150000 construction general permit, develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and install best management practices such as silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilized construction exits. Post-construction stormwater controls are required for new developments to manage runoff volume and water quality.
