- A storm sewer system map, showing the location of all outfalls and the names and location of all waters of the United States that receive discharges from those outfalls
- The determination of appropriate best management practices (BMPs) and measurable goals for this minimum control measure
- The education of public employees, businesses, and the general public about the hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste
- Through an ordinance, or other regulatory mechanism, a prohibition (to the extent allowable under State, Tribal, or local law) on non-stormwater discharges into the MS4, and appropriate enforcement procedures and actions
