EPA Regulation of Stormwater in Santa Fe County

EPA NPDES

Programs in place

These programs regulate the stormwater discharges of Santa Fe County as part of Phase II regulations issued in 1999. These regulations require that small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) apply for permits.

New Mexico is one of four states that do not have authorization to issue permits under the Clean Water Act, including also Idaho, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This means that the Federal agency, EPA, issues permits directly to local governments (cities and counties) and to New Mexico businesses and construction sites.

While new stormwater regulations have not yet been formally proposed or codified, EPA has incorporated many new features into the General Permit for New Mexico. This Watershed General Permit was proposed on Feb. 12, 2013.

MS4 General Permit

As part of the Clean Water Act and NPDES regulations, businesses performing industrial activities may need to acquire coverage under the Multi-Sector General Permit. Additional information may be found here:

Industrial Activities and Stormwater

Multi-Sector General Permit

Contractors performing construction activities involving one or more acres may also be required to gain coverage under the Construction General Permit to be in compliance with Clean Water Act and NPDES regulations. Additional information may be found here:

Construction Activities and Stormwater

Santa Fe County's Stormwater Program

Under these regulations, Santa Fe County is required to obtain permits to allow discharges to the Rio GrandeXXXX. In anticipation of permit issuance, Santa Fe County first created a Stormwater Quality Management Plan, and submitted this plan to EPA in March of 2003.

Once the general permit was published in 2007, Santa Fe County Public Works Division revised the original plan and submitted a revised Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) with a formal permit application on April 1, 2007.

The first general permit for small MS4s in New Mexico was issued by EPA and became effective on July 1, 2007.

Santa Fe County’s 2007 permit application and SWMP were approved without modification on May 11, 2011.

New Watershed General Permit NOI

A Notice of Intent is a formal declaration or legal document stating that an agency or company is filing an application to discharge water to a regulated stream. In this case Santa Fe County has filed a notice of intent (NOI) to discharge storm water into sections of the Santa Fe River, including its tributary arroyos. The eNOI form and attachments were delivered to USEPA, Region 6 (Dallas) in 2013.

This NOI does not reflect the entirety of the county stormwater program, merely our intention to comply with the new permit, and some general descriptions. Because of limitations of the form itself, the text is very abbreviated and cursory. The county is still in the process of developing new program elements, as are all other agencies working together on this permit.

FY 2024 MS4 Annual Report

Under the NMR040000 NPDES MS4 Permit, Santa Fe County is required to submit an annual report that describes its efforts to meet permit requirements that are designed to protect stormwater quality and include illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE), construction and post-construction stormwater management, pollution prevention and good housekeeping, control of floatables (trash), and public education and involvement. You can find the most recent report by following the link below.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the discharge of stormwater pollution as part of the Clean Water Act. Under these regulations, Santa Fe County is required to obtain permits to allow discharges to the Rio Grande. There are several discharges that are NOT allowable under this permit, one of which is referred to as an illicit discharge.

What is an illicit discharge?

An illicit discharge is the discharge of pollutants or non-stormwater materials into the storm sewer system via overland flow, direct dumping, or illicit connections. Illicit connections are pipes or other direct connections that illegally or unknowingly release pollutants or non-stormwater materials into a storm sewer system.

In Santa Fe County the storm sewer system collects stormwater runoff and carries it, untreated, to the Rio Grande. The result is untreated discharges that contribute high levels of pollutants (including heavy metals, toxic chemicals, oil and grease, solvents, nutrients, viruses, and bacteria) are carried to a receiving water body, in this case the Rio Grande (a treatment plant would be very costly— it would have to be large enough to treat an entire storm, but would be idle 95 percent of the time — not a good use of taxpayer funds!).

In urban areas, the storm drainage system consists of drains, arroyos, and underground pipes. Storm drains are generally located in streets and parking lots. In rural areas the storm drainage system may be in the form of ditches that carry the stormwater along a roadside or piece of property. These drainage systems are meant to carry only stormwater. Putting oil, antifreeze, detergents, or anything else that is not stormwater into the storm drain system is the same as dumping it directly into the river!

How do I report an illicit discharge?

Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) and Low Impact Development (LID)

Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is a method of sustainable stormwater management that focuses on treating stormwater runoff prior to it entering waterways by mimicking and working with living, natural systems. Low Impact Development (LID) refers to design and development practices that reduce the stormwater runoff volume generated on site. Together they improve stormwater quality and reduce flooding impacts related to post-construction runoff, helping to protect the Rio Grande and our community. Some benefits of GSI/LID include:

Mitigating stormwater quality impacts
Encouraging water conservation
Reducing urban heat island and climate change impacts
Increasing tree canopy and improved air quality
Creating wildlife habitat
Providing traffic calming
Improving physical and mental health outcomes
Addressing environmental justice
Increasing aesthetics

Santa Fe County Requirements for Post-Construction Stormwater Management

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the watershed-based Middle Rio Grande NPDES MS4 Permit in 2014. The MS4 Permit requires all new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, to manage the stormwater quality design volume on-site. It also requires evaluation for opportunities to use Green Stormwater Infrastructure/Low Impact Development (GSI/LID) practices and encourages incorporation of such practices in site design. In 2016, Bernalillo County passed the Stormwater Quality Ordinance, Chapter 38, Article IV, to establish this requirement for development in the unincorporated area of Bernalillo County.

Santa Fe County Grading and Drainage permit applicants must address stormwater quality via the following:

Submit a completed Green Stormwater Infrastructure / Low Impact Development (GSI/LID) Post-Construction Best Management Practices (BMP) Evaluation Form, affirming that opportunities to incorporate GSI/LID have been evaluated and implemented where feasible.
Include Stormwater Quality Volume calculations on the plan. Calculation methods are included in the Bernalillo County GSI/LID Development Standards, and in the Bernalillo County Public Works Technical Standards. The derivation of the rainfall depth numbers used in these calculations can be found in the Stormwater Quality Volume Calculation for Onsite Retention
Clearly note the locations of all stormwater quality BMPs on the plan. Total SWQV may include the volume treated by the GSI BMPs. Label the BMPs and include the treatment volume provided.

Stormwater runoff management throughout Santa Fe County

To protect water quality, the federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program requires a permit to discharge stormwater to municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). MS4s include publicly owned or operated streets, catch basins, ditches, storm drains, culverts, and other stormwater conveyances. The unincorporated urbanized areas of Santa Fe County fall under permit number NMR040000, which is currently under administrative continuation by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This permit includes the City of Santa Fe and the New Mexico Department of Transportation. Permittees are required to maintain a stormwater management program that addresses six minimum control measures and report annually to EPA on that program. The minimum control measures are as follows:

Public education and outreach on stormwater impacts
Public involvement/participation
Illicit discharge detection and elimination
Construction site stormwater runoff control
Post-construction stormwater management in new development and redevelopment
Pollution prevention/ good housekeeping for municipal operations

Proper stormwater management is critical to prevent unnecessary erosion and promote soil moisture retention. The Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners passed resolution 2024-064 on April 30th, 2024 adopting the Santa Fe County 2024 MS4 Permit Stormwater Management Program Plan.

In Santa Fe County, stormwater management is distributed across the Public Works Department, Growth Management Department, and Sustainability Office. The Public Works Department’s MS4 responsibilities include stormwater management on County roads, facilities, solid waste convenience centers, and construction sites. The Growth Management Department’s responsibilities include code enforcement actions to ensure stormwater protection measures are in place, construction and development plan review, public education, and administration of stormwater codes. The Sustainability Office handles public education and outreach through activities such as the County Adopt-a-Road Program and Earth Day events, contributing to the County’s 30x30 initiative.

This webpage is intended to provide information regarding the County's general obligation bond questions (Bond Questions) that will be included on Santa Fe County voters' November general election ballot.

General obligation bonds fund critical infrastructure throughout the County in the areas of roads, water and wastewater, and open space, trails and parks.
General obligation bond projects are selected to benefit a broad range of community needs and are leveraged with additional County funds to ensure successful implementation.
Approval of the Bond Questions will not increase property taxes.

On August 13, 2024, the Santa Fe County (County) Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted Resolution No. 2024-100, which authorized the placement of three Bond Questions on the November 5, 2024, general election ballot. The three Bond Questions ask County voters if they would like to fund up to $34 million in capital infrastructure projects in the following areas:

· Open Space, Trails and Parks
· Roads
· Water and Wastewater

If voters approve the $34 million in bond questions, this will not significantly impact property tax rates. The County structures its general obligation bonds to maintain a stable tax rate of 2.1 over time.

The Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners respectfully encourages all Santa Fe County residents to educate themselves about the Bond Questions and be sure to vote on November 5, 2024. If you have any questions regarding the Bond Questions, please contact Deputy County Manager Leandro Cordova at 505-986-6200.

Please visit the County Clerk's Election webpage for more information on the general election.

The Developer Assistance Program does not have an open application process. Pursuant to the New Mexico Affordable Housing Act Rules and program regulations, the County is required to submit a Request for Applications (RFA) for all awards issued pursuant to the DAP program. As such, maximum award amounts, loan terms, program terms and conditions, and application scoring criteria will be made available upon the issuance of each RFA.

Open RFAs will be posted on this webpage.

NEVER USE ALONE
In 2023, Santa Fe County Community Services Department rolled out a public awareness campaign to mitigate harms and overdoses related to fentanyl. The first phase of the campaign (“One Pill Can Kill.”) featured public education regarding the lethal effects of even minuscule amounts of fentanyl. Phase two utilized harm reduction messages targeted at people who uses substances and showcased billboards, bus wraps, and print materials with the message “Never Use Alone.” Phase three, to be deployed on May 1, 2024, continues to highlight the “Never Use Alone” message while addressing the continuous trend of polysubstance use. This phase also includes a link to Santa Fe County opioid and substance-specific resources and support. See link below.

The development of all public awareness campaign materials is overseen and vetted by a group coordinated by the County, that includes stakeholders representing the Santa Fe County Community Services and Fire Department, the New Mexico Department of Health, community members, community agencies, and law enforcement. The “Never Use Alone” campaign seeks to reduce the number of people killed by fentanyl because they are using it alone without access to a community member or family member who is armed with naloxone. “Never Use Alone” is such an important message, that there is a national effort to use this message for people who may be at risk for an overdose. Harm reduction is part of a more extensive approach that seeks to keep a person alive until they can find their way to health and social services, including treatment and recovery.

Types of Elections in New Mexico

Primary Elections

The Primary Elections in New Mexico are held in June of even-numbered years. These elections are semi-closed and partisan, nominating candidates to appear on the General Election ballot in November. Only registered voters who are affiliated with a major party (Republican, Libertarian, or Democratic) are eligible to participate. Voters registered with a minor party (such as the Green Party) or with no party affiliation must change their voter registration to a major party to be eligible to vote.

Relevant Statutes: Conduct of elections; persons not permitted to vote (NMSA 1-12-7); ARTICLE 8 Nominations and Primary Elections (NMSA 1-8-1 to 1-8-66); Registration at voting location prior to voting (NMSA 1-4-5.7)

General Elections

Taking place in November of even-numbered years, General Elections fill federal, state (both statewide and district-level), and county seats. These elections are partisan, but independent and minor party candidates who qualify will also appear on the ballot.

Regular Local Elections

Beginning in 2019, local elections in New Mexico have been held in November of odd-numbered years. County Clerk's offices are responsible for administering these elections. These elections are nonpartisan and fill municipal and local seats, including school boards, college boards, and city councils/commissions.

Municipal Officer Elections

Jurisdictions that opt out of the Regular Local Election (RLE) Act choose to run their own municipal elections. County Clerk's offices do not administer these elections, which take place in March of even-numbered years.

Special Elections

In New Mexico, special elections are mail-only elections that occur at specified intervals between Primary, General, Local, and Municipal elections.

Thank you for your interest in Water Policy Advisory Committee meetings. The WPAC strives to make its meetings accessible to the public through the Webex virtual meeting platform. The availability of Webex however, is not guaranteed, due to internet and other service disruptions and equipment failures, and duly noticed meetings may be held notwithstanding that Webex is unexpectedly unavailable. Accordingly, members of the public assume the risk that they may be unable to watch and listen and/or participate in WPAC meetings through Webex.
