What is an MS4
An MS4 is a system of drainage (including roads, storm drains, pipes, and ditches, etc.) that is not a combined sewer or part of a sewage treatment plant. During wet weather, pollutants are transported through MS4s to local water bodies.
Permit Requirements
Municipalities with a municipal complex in an urbanized zone are required to possess an MS4 permit. The current urbanized area can be found on the map at the following link.
A complex is a series of 2 or more buildings. Michigans Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy has classified the fire station on Allen Road and the library across the street as a municipal complex. As such, Kimball Township is required to have an MS4 Permit for this complex.
