The District of Columbia is responsible for improving the quality of its urban waterways. Under a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, the District is obligated to manage and reduce pollution in urban stormwater. The District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is the agency designated with primary responsibility to administer and oversee the District’s MS4 permit. A major component of the MS4 permit is the development of a Consolidated Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan, which will guide the agency in reducing pollution on its discharges to surrounding water bodies.
