What nee(Is to be developed inthe NPDES permit is a compliance $cheduie on how and when this retrofittingwill occur. am becoming as frustrated as you, Tom, in the way we are continuing to talk past each other over how storm water dischargesachieve compliance with WQ Standards (Items #11 & 12). Again, the WQ approach to achieve compliance is by a step-wiseand deliberative approach {'adaptive management" for lick of a better term) of applying current technology BMPs, monitoring the effectiveness of those BMPs and then determining additional measures (i.e. additional source control,development of innovative BMPs) should monitoring indicate that storm water discharges are adversely impacting beneficialuses of the receiving water.
