Re: City of Coppell MS4 — Annual Report Review
TPDES Permit No. TXR040375 (CN600656649; RN 105613558)
Dear Mr. Garza:
We have received the annual report for the City of Coppell that was submitted on November 14,
2008 for the Year 1 reporting period for the above - referenced permit. We have performed an
administrative review of this report and identified certain items missing in this submittal. The
attached review checklist provides additional information on the missing items. Please make sure
that your Year 2 report, which is due November 12, 2009, includes these items. We did not
perform a technical review of this report.
If you indicated in your annual report that the SWMP was not implemented during the reporting
period because Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) had not yet approved the
NOI; then we did not review any items related to implementation of the SWMP. Note that any
portions of the SWMP that were not implemented in Year 1 must be completed by the date that
the SWMP is formally approved and you receive your acknowledgement certificate. These tasks
will also need to be included in the Year 2 annual report. In addition, if there are any differences
between the approved SWMP and the information provided in this report or future reports, you
must submit a notice of change (NOC_') as required by the general permit.
The annual report for the second permit year (August 13, 2008 through August 12, 2009) is due
on November 12, 2009. TCEQ will have an updated report form available, and we strongly
encourage MS4 operators to use that template in preparing and submitting the report. This will
greatly assist us in reviewing the reports, and will help to insure that we provide a timely
response to permittees. Please make sure to also forward a copy of your annual report to the
TCEQ regional office.
Finally, please be aware that discharges of the constituent(s) of concern to impaired water bodies
for which there is a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan are not eligible for
this general permit unless they are consistent with the approved TMDL and the implementation
plan.

Permitted MS4 operators must incorporate the limitations, conditions and requirements
applicable to their discharges, including monitoring frequency and reporting required by TCEQ
rules, into their SWMP in order to continue to be eligible for coverage under the general permit.
If the discharge is no longer eligible for coverage under the general permit, then the MS4
operator would be required to apply for and receive an individual TPDES permit.
If you have any questions about the information in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the
Storm Water and Pretreatment Team at 512- 239 -4671.
